Week 4 What I am Learning & Quotes

It's the last page of the Deconstructing Your Fears Experience PDF.

Reflection Questions
After you have completed the learning experience, record your observations to the following questions in your journal.

1. If you pursue your calling with discipline, intentionality, and the help of fellow travelers, what are the chances that your worst case scenario will really happen?

This week you will make your fourth journal entry/blog post. Reflect upon the things that you are learning and experiencing so far in this course. What are you looking forward to learning and experiencing? What did you learn from the readings and videos this week?

 I would love to learn more about the daily tasks and managing my time better. I love you idea of productivity points and giving everything that day a purpose.  The first place I need to start is to get a physical planner, not just the kind that is on my phone. I want to write in it and look at it. 

I've enjoyed learning how important mentors are when it comes to finding people who will assist you in your entrepreneurial endeavors.  

 It was nice hearing about how we can help others through doing thoughtful things for them when we learn about something that interests them. Such as when he sent books to his colleagues to help them and guide them in their careers.

 I am enjoying Tom Kelly's excellence in the videos we have been learning about. When he talks about thinking about our days and how we feel and one throughout our days that we are feeling our best. It is important  that we recognize when we are at our best throughout the day. I believe for me, it is when I praise for my children and show them affection that I feel my best.  Just Hopkins video was very informative I love when he said, "make a better decision and your competitor each day. Then he goes on to say "make the right decision." This makes me realize how important it is integrity is and  how we should live this principle throughout each day. 

I'm not sure how to answer this question because I don't know what it is referring to. I'm assuming this has something to do with the document I was unable to open. Therefore without that PDF document, I'm not sure how to answer this.

2. As you look at your list of fears, what themes emerge? What is at the core of what you really fear? Financial ruin? The judgment or disapproval of others? Physical harm? Endangering the ones you love? Embarrassment?

What I have learned from doing this assignment is that I look for others approval more than my own. I understand life is not about being successful all the time, but the embarrassment the embarrassment of not being successful is terrifying.  Most of my issues and fears over and have stand back from my childhood. Whether from schoolmates or from my parents and seeking their approval. This has shaped me into the person that I am.

3. What is the risk of taking no action – not following your calling? How do you plan to deal with fear when it pops up on your entrepreneurial journey?

My fear of being too complacent in life. Maybe more lackadaisical. I believe mostly the Stamms from a lack of productivity or maybe running around too much and then needing brakes but not making the time for those breaks.  Writing my daily tasks out, I also need to include times that I can just relax.  I have a much more laid-back style which is hard when it comes to accomplishing tasks.  If things don't get done, I need to remember that there is always tomorrow.

Quotes

If you want your kids to have strong self-esteem and con dence that they can solve hard problems, those qualities won’t magically materialize in high school. You have to design them into your family’s culture—and you have to think about this very early on. Like employees, children build self-esteem by do- ing things that are hard and learning what works.

We also decided that humility was de ned not by self-deprecating behavior or atti- tudes but by the esteem with which you regard oth- ers.

Elder Wirthlin The Little Things
 Patience and long suffering, considered by some to be unimportant in this life, are some of the greatest attributes we can develop when dealing with our fellowmen. 

Little things, which, in reality, become such big things, help us understand more clearly as we learn to conquer them one by one in our effort to gain more and more strength. And this we do in a spirit of humility and gratitude to our Heavenly Father.
