Networking. . .

So. . . I've always hated the term networking, I"ll be honest.  And still I don't love it.  I think that networking can be something negative when all it is, is networking.  But when you can build relationships, and put in effort to help others, I think networking can be an extremely positive thing.

Effective networking really isn't about connecting yourself to as many people as you can,
It's more about building personal relationship with all kinds of people,
and doing what you can do help them.

   Networking in this sense is positive. It is unselfish.  And it's FUN! :)

As each of us realize our potential to help and lift those around us, we can find the courage we need to step out of our comfort zones and make a difference.  As we reach out farther than we're use to reaching, the Lord will be able to extend his arm, through us, and we can touch the lives of others with his love. We should make networking about getting to know people,  and helping them find the place that is best for them, and I believe that we will be blessed as we strive to bless others in our network.  

I believe. . .

My Top Values are:
                   Family
               Spirituality
                            Trust
                                 Service
                                        & Passion.

My family is incredibly important to me, and at the top of all of my values  because I know that they are the people who can get me through anything.  I know that my family loves me enough to help me when I am struggling and I have been blessed with parents and siblings that I can really look up to.  Families are an amazing eternal blessing that we have been given.

Spirituality is another important value to me because I know that it is really the Lord who I can ALWAYS trust and run to when it seems there is nobody else.  This leads me to my next value. . . 

TRUST. 

Trust is a huge value to me because I believe it can completely change any relationship.  No matter who a person is, if you can build a strong foundation of trust with them, you can build a good relationship. 

Serving others is one of my top values because I can't ever seem to feel like I am really worth much at all when I am only focusing on myself, but when  I forgot myself and focus on others I am so much more able to see the Saviors guiding hand in my life, remember who I am, and see my full potential.

And finally, Passion.  I believe that the right kind of passion for something can get you just where you  want to be.  If you invest your passion in good things you will be able to reach great heights.   Passion gives you a strong sense of purpose and desire to put in the effort, even when things are hard.

Since these values are so important to me, I will stand for them.  

I believe in putting families first in life.

I believe in putting the gospel above everything else.

I believe in building trust, and keeping it.

I believe in serving others.

And I believe in doing everything with Passion.
