week 7

this week was the end of the book and a look into passion.  I have yet to find my passion in life and what I could do to for work that aligns with my passion. 

The rest was the week was finishing the book and learning about mastery, that fit well with the article on habits.  Forming habits is a large part of mastery.  I have found that there are various habits that we form in our lives from personal and professional habits. Some church habits that we are encouraged to form are prayer and reading scriptures.  I go through phases of being really good at doing these things. 

After reading the book Mastery it really gives you perspective on how to create your habits and maintain them. Learning different habits and skills of mastery add to the priciples that we have learned the past several weeks.

Mastery and Character

Mastery is an interesting concept, as we can gain discipline in various aspects of life while others lack.  I remember as a young man going to priesthood sessions of conference and one of my favorite speakers was President James E. Faust, he spoke of self discipline and mastery  quiet often if I recall correctly.  His talks were always inspiring and motivating and after listening I left wanting to do better and accomplish more each day. Sadly as each day passes the feelings we get from listening to other slowly fade and we need to rely on ourselves.  This is something I constantly struggle with but I will always try. The other aspect is do what you love and the rest will follow.  I have always struggled with that because I don't know what I love to do.  When I was in year 8 or 9 in school we took one of those tests that told us what career we would be suited for, mine was one of two that came up as undecided.  Here is what I know, I love helping pe...
