"Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value" - Boyd K Packer
Today I feel good about my choices. I am in an American Heritage class this semester and we have a packet of readings. Two that I read grabbed me in. I was there as they gave their speeches. Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address and Fredrick Douglass, What to the Slave is the Fourth of July. What powerful speakers. Such eloquence. I feel what they felt, as much as I can in my position anyway. Another reading so powerful was America:God Mend Thine Every Flaw - Neal A Maxwell. Look into Lincoln's eyes. See how powerful they are, yet kind.
I'm in a business lectures class as well. People are invited to share how they got to where they are, share a day in the life of their profession, and give advice. One of my favorite speakers I heard told us to find someone we admire, look up to, a mentor, and copy what they do. I have someone I look up to back home in California. They teach me how to love everyone, and not by telling me to, but by showing me as they show their love for everyone around them. Anyone around this person easily feels like they are the most important thing to that person. They listen. That is important.
