Relationships

Growing up, I was always that shy, independent kid. Even up to the date of my baptism a few years back, I was hesitant to use the Atonement (before my extended knowledge) because I didn't want to bother Jesus Christ with my problems. Now knowing that he has already suffered for my sins, I can more fully rely and not be hesitant about utilizing the atonement. That being said, how often are we hesitant to help someone else or allow them to help us because we're either too prideful or too worried about what they/someone else will think of us? More often than not I'm sure. For example, my grandfather was always so kind and charitable to everyone. Because of this, of course there were times that he struggled, but he knew that he always had people in his life that would be there for him, no matter what. Partially what kept him so good, I assume is his self-responsibility to be the best that he could be for everyone that was already in his life and for the people that he would meet later down the road. I strive to emulate this man one day in hopes that I can make people feel the same way that he made me feel. This is also a great example of how others can help you become the best version of yourself. When we treat others a certain way, it creates this chain reaction of either positivity or negativity. So an important entrepreneurial lesson is: If you want to grow your business and self-worth, build your relationships!
