Goals

This was one of the assignments I did in my Family History online class.  We got to think of goals and our dreams for this life, I really enjoyed it!

Self-Application

Answer the Following Questions—Type your answers below the questions:

1. Write your favorite quote from the provided list.

-“A goal is a dream with a deadline”–Napoleon Hill

2. Write your feelings about family history work.

-I think that family history work is an amazing thing!  It is spiritual, mental and sometimes physical all at the same time!  I enjoy being able to do work that I can see and feel the effects making me a better person and helping my ancestors.

3. Define in writing a character trait that you desire to work on in order to realize more success in your future family history efforts.

-Consistency.  I think that being consistent is one of my weakest areas because I will go through levels of dedication, instead of keeping the work going.

4. Write specific goals you feel to set for yourself concerning your future work in family history and temple service. Consider breaking the goals into short, medium, and long-term.

-Take more names to the temple, don’t forget them at home.  Work on one or two people at a time, getting lost in all the names is how I get frustrated.

5. Identify challenges that may derail your goals.

-Stress, work, school, anything that takes my time and feels more important.

6. Make plans that will enable you to realize your goals. Don’t just identify what you want to do, also state how you will do it.

-I will set aside at least 3 hours a week to work on family history and readying a new name for the temple each month.
