Alright five down and fifteen to go. If i do one blog a day i'll be done in time to finish the assignment. Ok that's a bad attitude. I have realized as i do these blogs that i am learning how to look back on my life though. Its kind of like the journal i write in. In my opinion the purpose of a journal is to put together all of the tiny miracles for the day or week or month and see what you are supposed to learn from them. For example last week i was torubled alot about the rest fo my life. I want to make a difference somewhere in the world, but i also want to enjoy my career. As i took this question into the week i realized that every talk, prayer,scripture, and thought i had that stuck with me were about what i could do to be more confident about where i was going. One thing i thought to do was write down all of my goals for my life and then explore different careers that would fit into that description. I am still in the process of doing so but at least i am in the process and not at a stand still.
Another thing that happened was the devotional by the author of "Three Cups of Tea". It was amazing to see the impact that one life can have on the lives of so many others. King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon (this is another thing that i read during the week by the way) said that we are given excess or wealth in life so that we can be his hand in blessing his other children. This is exactly what i want to do. I want to be successful and live a good life financially then once i am settled in, start giving what i've got in the most effective way to those who have nothing. This is what i enjoy and therefore i just need to pick a career that will help me do this. Sounds easy enough right. We'll see how it goes.

WOW for an Angles fan you sound like you have a lot of heart, pretty impressive. I honestly think you’ll be fine with finding the right career, I feel like I’m going though the same thing but you have to admit the journey is pretty sweet. I look at it as a growing process; figuring out what it is that I like and what I don’t like and in so doing I’m a lot closer to where I want to be. All I can say is just keep trying because sometimes it’s going to be really frustrating but the end result will be worth it.
