RESEARCH NOTES

Core Concept #1
: What did you learn in your studies and in our class about having an eternal perspective? What exactly does that concept mean in the context of this course? How does our Latter-
day Saint understanding of Heavenly Father’s Plan provide deepen your view of eternity?
Our choices in life have eternal consequences, and we need to remember that life is more than just the here and now, that life continues after we die, and that life goes on after death.

Core Concept #2
: In what ways are we sometimes shortsighted here in mortality? What factors contribute to this tendency to lean more heavily on the here and now?
Maybe focusing on what we're grateful for isn't the best idea. Gratitude is hard to develop if our thankfulness is only proportional to how many blessings we have. Counting our blessings is important—and anyone who's done it knows there are many—but I don't believe the Lord expects us to be less thankful in times of trial than in times of abundance. Scripture doesn't usually mention gratitude for things, but rather an attitude or spirit of gratitude.

Grateful in Any Circumstances

Core Concept #3
: What role does vulnerability play in our dating relationships? Why does falling in love necessarily also carry the risk of getting our heart broken? What can you do to increase the likelihood that you will meet, fall in love with, and marry the person of your dreams?
There is no way that your partner can be expected to understand what you need from them if you do not allow yourself to be vulnerable with them. A person who is too closed off to others, whether he or she is in a romantic relationship or in a very close friendship, can unintentionally harm that relationship.

PERSONAL NOTES/REFLECTIONS
[What important personal
insights did I gain in class today? And from what I learned and felt, what is most relevant in my life right now? How might what I learned today impact my personal discipleship? (100+ words)] There is more to having things in common with your partner than just having things that you have in common if you want your relationship to be successful. The values you hold dear must be the same as those of your partner, and your partner must also hold dear the values you hold
dear. There is no doubt that Satain is doing everything he can in order to make you mess up and
shut people out instead of letting them in so they can assist you rather than letting them in to mess up on you in the first place.
