Dream Big

In one of this week's videos, we learned that Google lets its employees use 20% of their time working on projects of their choice. Most would think that would be a waste of resources but the actually found that the employees are much more productive with that 20% of time. I've experienced this with my kids so it makes sense that it would be true for everyone. If I give my kids 30 minutes to play or watch a show, they come back ready to work on their homework. They get it done much faster than they would have without that small break to do what they wanted. A few weeks ago in the book, Mastery, he said that if we want more energy, we need to use energy. Google is allowing its employees to use their energy and because they do, they have a better focus and are able to get more done.

I also loved Elder Oakes talk, The Challenge to Become. The Savior is more concerned with who we are becoming through are choices than what those choices are. Sometimes I worry about making the "right" choice. Instead of worrying about where those choices are going to take me, I should be focusing on what kind of person I'm going to be when I get there. 

I also finished my entrepreneurial interview. Some things that I learned made me not want to pursue that path but there are some very rewarding aspects of it as well. I think my biggest take away was, trust in the Lord. All things are possible through Him. There isn't anything that I can't do if He wants me to. Even though I don't see myself owning my own business, I've learned so much about different aspects of a business and what kind of person I want to become.
