On Wednesday night I attended our Relief Society Activity for the month. We had 3 classes to choose from and I chose the one on Setting Goals. We had a speaker who spoke to us about how we are the Leaders of our own lives. He gave us a formula for setting goals and the process for acheiving them. He told us to pray about it and then brainstorm and write down everything we could possibly think of that we wanted to do or achieve this year, then to choose 3-12 categories and then narrow each category to one in each area and underline that one. He encouraged us to write a plan as to how we will acheive these goals this year. It was a very motivating presentation. He said that he honestly feels that we can achieve anything we set our minds to do because that is the potential we have as children of the greatest creator in the universe. It reminded me very much of the message I shared earlier by Elder Utchdorf about being creative. He also said that, "People of Character are those who do what they committ to do even after the emotion of making the committment is passed". So, I really want to put his ideas into action this year. We are the creators of our own lives....what will we accomplish in 2010?
