(CS4U) Personal Growth - Part 2

 Personal Growth – Part 2

 

Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
Proverbs 4:7-8

 

Be teachable. The famous American football coach John Wooden said, 'What counts, is what you learn after you know it all.' That is because the more you learn, the less you think you have to learn. When that happens you become un-teachable! Never stay satisfied with your current accomplishments. The greatest enemy of tomorrow's success is today's success. Thinking you have 'arrived' because you accomplished certain things is fatal! It takes away your desire for continued growth. Successful people do not sit back and rest on their laurels. They know that wins, like losses, are temporary. They understand that they have to keep growing if they want to stay productive. Some things get you to the top, other things keep you there. You must stay hungry. Refuse to settle in the comfort zone or let success go to your head. Enjoy it briefly, and then move on to greater things. Become a continual learner. A university study done a few years ago found that almost one-third of all physicians were so busy working, they were two years behind in the latest developments in their field. Heaven help their patients! If you want to be a continual learner, you must carve out time to do it! Henry Ford said, 'It has been my observation that successful people get ahead during the time other people waste.' Carry your Bible, iPod and CDs when you travel. Seize every opportunity to keep growing. The secret to becoming a learner is to learn something new every day! Listen, "get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you."

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, there is so much new out there to learn, keep me motivated to continue to learn and grow. In Jesus' Name, Amen
