December 2, 2013 Focus Point

Information and Its Application

"A mind that is expanded by a new idea, concept, or experience, can never be satisfied in going back to its old dimensions."  ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

"I don't mind the question if you don't mind the answer." ~Bill Bailey

"Give up what you want now, for what you want eventually." ~Stephen R. Covey

"Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." ~John Wooden

"You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read." ~Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

"Learn as if you are going to live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow." ~John Wooden

Isn't the right kind of information amazing with the value that it carries? But when we really understand its true impact we know that it will not serve us unless it is applied properly. It must be applied properly in order for a person to realize its full value, and this process of growth and improvement takes time. You cannot tear up the flower to see how the roots are doing. You must keep the roots in the proper soil or environment, so they can produce.

Think of the right information in terms of informative or in other words enlightening. It teaches us what we need to do in order to become better. It teaches us where we need to make changes. However, in order to benefit, we must act upon the knowledge and information. It's a tough gap but an important gap to step across. In fact the biggest gap on earth is the gap between knowing and doing. We must know in order to do, but to truly know, is to do. In life many people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.

This week in all of your getting get understanding. And with understanding become aware of the application points necessary to move onward, after all, it's what happens in you that counts, not what happens to you.
