  6. Personal Goal: 30 mins or less a day on social media/ medi for purposes other than education.

    Quote: This life is not about misery, this life is about true happiness.

    Question: They talked in the video about how we shouldn't learn things because we want to, and how we should learn for the Lord and others. But my question is, don't we des over what we should persue and learn about by looking at ourselves and our talents and our likes or dislikes or what We love to do?
    Principle: The love of God changes hearts.

    Project goal: Get photographs for posts

    Quote: "Divine roles of family members should be upheld and supported."

  9. Question: How do we learn to let go of what we want to study, and study what the Lord wants us to learn?

    Quote: Theres a lot of people in this world who are physically dying, but there are more who are spiritually dying. What are we going to do to help this?

    Thought: What is the Lord calling me to do? Where does he he want me to go? And what does he want me to become?

  10. Question: Is it bad to study the things you want to study?

  11. Quote: "A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race."

    Question: If I live in a bubble (which I do ;p), how can I influence the world when I'm never in it?

    2nd Question: How do we receive personal revelation? How can I really know that Heavenly Father is talking to me, and it's not just my mind?

    Thought: The Lord will take care of it--it'll turn out well! :)

  12. Quote: For a man to lay down his all, his character, reputation, honer, his good name among man, his house, his lands, his brother, wife and children, and even his own life also-counting all things but filth and dross for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ-requires more than mere belief or supposition that he is doing the will of God; but actual knowledge; realizing that, when those sufferings are ended, he will enter into eternal rest, and be a barter of the glory of God. - Joseph smith-

    Question: While I am in my youth, how can I help others and my family. And is are families being an example, and how do I know?

    Principle: to be a better example to others in every way.

  13. Quote: Don't compete with the world in teaching methods. The world will always be more fun, more cool, etc.
    Question: How can you personally get inspired to learn something that's not fun or interesting, that you don't wanna lean, or that you hate?
    Principle: Focusing on what God wants us to learn/do rather than what we want to will bring more happiness in the long run.

  14. Qoute: A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.

    Question: How can we learn to share our talents and knowledge with the love of God, so that we dont harbor them, and hold them from blessing our life and others lives? How can we learn to put of the selfishness?

    Thought: Wow................!

    Principle: When we look to bless others, we are filling ourselves with Gods love.

    Lets learn to FILL ourselves.....
