| QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF (1) |
| 'Though it cost you all you have, get understanding.' Proverbs 4:7 |
| Like
any good parent, God wants His children to succeed. But to succeed in
life, you must periodically ask yourself two questions: 1) Am I
committed to personal growth? 'Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.' Keep reading, keep
learning, keep asking questions. A Chinese proverb says, 'He who asks is
a fool for five minutes; he who doesn't ask remains a fool forever.'
Some of us are like the little girl who thought she'd exhausted the
subject of mathematics once she learned her twelve-times tables. When
her grandfather asked with a twinkle, 'What's 13 times 13?' she scoffed,
'Don't be silly, Grandpa, there's no such thing!' Your hunger for
wisdom and knowledge determines your future. In order to keep giving
out, you must keep taking in. 2) Am I enjoying what I do? You'll never
fulfil your destiny doing something you despise. Passion lies at the
core of true success and fulfilment; it's the spark for your fuse. It
energises you when those around you grow tired. It helps you come up
with answers when others cease to have creative ideas and strengthens
you when they drop out. It gives you courage to take risks while others
crave security. When you lose your passion, two things happen: first,
you fail to pursue excellence; second, you jeopardise your integrity,
because you're tempted to take shortcuts and compromise by settling for
less than God intended. One leader says, 'What generates passion in you
is a clue to your destiny. What you love is often a clue to something
you can achieve.' |
