"Child of God"- Elder Eyring

I'm not one to enjoy church talks about the same reoccurring topics such as paying your tithing, magnifying your calling, and going to church, but Elder Eyring's knowledge and guidance in "Child of God" was enough to keep me interested. Focusing on five characteristics that every child of God should have, he lays out a map for us of how to get there. These five essential traits consist of working hard, welcoming feedback, expecting resistance, keeping commitments, and helping others. One of the first things we must do to adapt these characteristics is to humble ourselves. We are all children of God, not one of us is more special than the other in his eyes. All of the counsel Eyring gives is applicable to me directly in my education. Part of working hard in school is the ability to welcome critical feedback and then adjust myself according to the comments I receive. Also, I must expect resistance and be able to help others as I work to overcome those challenges. Lastly, keeping commitments that I make throughout college is important in defining who I become in the future.
