I have never wasted a moment studying about goal setting. The more I learn, the more I fine-tune my process of reaching goals. I have an insatiable drive to find the best practices for achieving dreams. After years of research, I have pieced together a system that works for me and has enabled me to write a book, travel to nearly thirty countries, and run a trail half marathon (even with health problems).

12 Kinds of Missions You Probably Didn't Even Know Existed
We all expect LDS missionaries to street contact, knock on doors, and wear a white shirt and tie. But many of us have no idea that there are at least 14 other kinds of missions out there for young people eager to serve! “Men and women of mission age who are unable to serve a proselyting mission can counsel with parents and leaders to consider options for a service mission.
