Week 12

This week I have learned a valuable lesson. That valuable lesson is the importance of balancing your life. This week I began managing the largest hotel in our town. Not only do I have the learning curve of what it takes to manage such a business, but I have a learning curve on how to manage my life while many hours are taken away from it for work. I found myself being at work by 8am and not getting home till 8pm. This gave me only two house left in my day to nurture relationships, do my calling, read my scriptures, exercise, and all the other things I want to do in my life. By the end of the week I felt so overwhelmed with everything. For this next week, I am going to take some of the advice I read in the book A Field Guide For A Hero’s Journey and that is plan your rest. I need to realize that the hotel will still manage without me after 5pm. This way I will be able to go home and do the other things that are important for me as well. Time is a God given gift. I need to organize it and use it wisely. That is the intention and goal for me this week. Thanks to this class, I read that book, and thanks to that book, I can see what steps I can take to become my own hero.
