Lately, my plate is quite overloaded and the more i realize this:
1) "Success in the world is pretty much a function of disciplined effort." There are lots of things i want to pursue and i know it all goes back to fundamentals (i.e. knowning God by listening Him and how? read his words (bible)) which require preseverance and discipline.
2) "It is my obligation to equip myself for my greatest impact and to seek every opportunity to increase that impact. And never to suspect that I'm not called or that my time has passed me by." There are lots of skills i want to grow and i know the owness lies with me and not with others (i.e my pastor). In other words, my spiritual growth is my own responsblity, no one to blame.
3) When someone doesn't need your help, just let go. Don't force someone to be what you think they should be. Instead, change yourself. It's silly to expect someone to change out of no where. As a christian, I only believe God can transform someone. Instead of praying God to change that someone, ask God to change ourselves first.
