Reflection #1

1. Judge Griffith spoke about his career and how he had moved around to different opportunities seeking to find his passion. Please describe what you feel you are passionate about today and where you think these interests will take you as you start your career path.

I feel very passionate about people. I love learning about new cultures and I love learning about people. I'm passionate about helping people, whether it's through small service or networking, etc. I think there are a lot of career paths that include being heavily involved in people's lives, but I would hope my career path leads to me working with different cultures through microfinance practices.

1. Judge Griffith quoted several versus in Jacob 2, in reference to the pursuit and use of wealth. How will you apply the concepts that Jacob shares with us as you experience success in your career.

My home ward is a perfect example to me of the principles Judge Griffith spoke about in Jacob 2:18-19. My ward is very affluent, but because of their affluence they are able to help send many missionaries off on missions, provide unbelievable camp and educational experiences for the youth, and be heavily involved in the community. I hope to emulate these families in my ward by being generous with all I am blessed with an providing opportunities to others who are having a touch bump in the road of life.

1. Please share something you learned about leadership in your career from judge Griffith’s presentation.

I loved how Judge Griffith talked about seeking the Atonement every day in your life. We are all imperfect, at least I know I am and I need the Atonement in my life to make me the person the Lord wants me to be. In regards to my leadership, I believe I cannot be successful unless I implement the Atonement in my life. I can't be successful if I am not on the same page with the Lord, and as I seek Him and His infinite goodness in my life, He will bless me with the experiences I need to have and He will help me touch the lives of those I lead and follow.
