Learning Unnecessary Things

When we try new things, we make mistakes and learn things. If we work on things that are not necessary to our ultimate goal, we will learn things that aren’t directly applicable to where we want to be.

But if we go in the right direction early and work on the right things, we will only learn things if they were necessary for us to learn.

Are you working on the right things?

How long will you live?

Be careful with your answer.  Expectations have a curious way of coming true…

Who is good at everything?

Nobody.  So it should not surprise us that we aren’t good at things.  What’s more important is to find and focus on the things we are good at.  

Develop your strengths.

Don't lose sight of the value of what is free.

Air – breathe.  Water – drink.  Beauty – see.  Sounds – hear.  Smiles – give.  Hugs – enjoy.  Love – Experience.

Expanded Association

There are people we should get to know, or people that we know that we should get to know better.  People that inspire us, fill us up, and are sources of knowledge and positive new experiences.

Who should you expand your association with?

Limited Association

It’s great to have a diversity of friends.  Of course, some friends are better than others.  There are people that we are best to leave as “one hour friends”.  

Right?

Disassociation

Who are you better off staying away from?

Association

Who is you around?

What are they doing to you?

Is that ok?

Grow intentionally

Making ourselves better than we were yesterday doesn’t happen by accident or just because we want it to. We have to do something to make it so.

What do you have to do to grow?  Study?  Read?  Run?  Call an expert?  Have a friend help you work the problem out on paper?  Research?  Prepare?  Set goals and post them?

Be intentional about being better.

Bet on YOU!

Get yourself good books and audiobooks.  

If you don’t bet on you, why should anyone else?
