Focus Point
Knowing, Growing, Sowing.
Knowing is about understanding what direction you are
going in life and if it is in harmony with where you would like to go, and if
not what necessary adjustments do you need to make. To discover your purpose
you need to grow in your self awareness. Meaning, you are able to identify what
you enjoy doing the most and become aware of any changes needed. So knowing is
to Know your Purpose in Life, and once you know what your
purpose is, you will find your place in life. This sort of direction will lead
you to the kind of life you were "born to love" as Bruce Wilkinson
teaches.
Growing is quite simply improving on a consistent
basis in the areas of interest. As Maxwell teaches in his book The 15 Laws
of Growth: To become a better person you need to grow in your character. To
become a better spouse or parent you need to grow in your relationships. To
advance in your career you need to grow in your skills. To achieve your
financial goals you need to grow in your knowledge about how money works. To
enrich your soul you need to grow spiritually.
When you think of growing, think in terms of Growing
to Your Maximum Potential. Part of what expert Jim Rohn taught was to always be a student.
Whether at a seminar, in church, at lunch with a friend, reading a book, even
listening to the lyrics of a song, look for the lessons that are worthy of your
attention. Be a constant student. The good news here is that anyone can
grow and we can start at anytime. The bad news is it will require new ideas to
think about and new habits to act on. Grow everyday, your inner soul will thank
you.
Sowing is about what you do for others. There are
many who suffer from ill health, tough relationships, trouble in their
finances, and so forth. There are opportunities everyday to sow seeds of good
and service in the lives of others. Sometimes you may feel that your service is
small and makes no difference, but we all know the impact of a smile or a well
directed compliment. The New Testament teaches that whatever we sow, we shall
also reap. The trick is to help others not for our own benefit, but with the
proper intention to add value to them. Sowing Seeds in the Lives of
Others.
This week let's Know, Grow, and Sow! Because it works and it's worth it.
