The first look at the big picture.

This week has been an amazing week. I like what I’m learning in BYU-I. It is very inspired for me. I have had some experiences this week I will like to share in this post, and why not help other to feel the same I’m feeling right now.

The lesson for this week was about the creation of a life of meaning. The readings were a great source of inspiration. The principal point of it was about the star and stepping stones to get there. The start should be seem as the main call you have in this life. It answer the question:

1. 1. Did I contribute something meaningful?
2. 2. Was I a good person?
3. 3. Who did I love and who loved me?

And the stepping stones are what are your steps in order to achieve that goal. It also refert to you job or entrepreneur desires.

Also there is a important frame in all of this and that is your ethics and values. It what will help you to achieve succeed in life without that feeling of emptiness.

It required time to ponder and pray for divine help. Also being sincere with myself was necessary. But it was a great process that is still beginning. Now I can see part of my big picture in life.
Also I saw a video from Randy Pausch Talking about achieve dreams and how to lead our life.
Why do you think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams because the discipline he had and always look to how to accomplish his dreams.

I think one of the principal keys is always been dreaming. Having goals and hihg desires to accomplish something important to oneself. That will make you feel live, will make you wake early and make sacrifices to achieve those dreams. Dreaming is part of being live.

Sincerily I can’t remember about my childhood dreams. I think I was just a kid that want to play all day long. I can say I want to be a police officer. I want to fly a jet, I want to fly like Goku, I want to be like the power rangers and fight like them, etc. I think I have been discover my dreams in this very time of my life. Now life have is more meaningful than years before. I now I know with the help of God those righteous dreams can be accomplished.

Doing the activity of the star and the steppings stones I discover some of undercover dreams. I want to share those dreams.

My ultimate star is based in three things: my family, the Lord and His church and my contribution to the world.

1. 1) My family: I want to have an eternal family based upon the principles and covenants of the gospel, Deep love and respect to each other. Also I will become the best husband to my wife and the best father to my childs.
2. 2) The Lord and His Church: to become, as Brigham Young was called “the lion of the Lord”. In others words is to become a true disciple of the Lord and help to establish his kingdom in earth by helping others to live by the teachings of the Lord
3. 3) My contribution to the world: I will be one of the biggest entrepreneur, leader and guru in the business world, especially here in Colombia. My desire is to become a whole person, give a great example to my fellows and help millions to live by the Lord’s principles, so they can have life in abundance and to draw closer to God.

I know those dreams are 100% posible to accomplish. It will requires hard work and the help of God but I know I’m in the path to accomplish those dreams.
