Topic: Keep Unwrapping your Gift [Thursday 17 September, 2015]
“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”–Proverbs 4:18
Like a well-wrapped gift, life is programmed for growth and development. So, you need to keep unwrapping because there is always something better to be revealed. No matter where you are now or what you think you have achieved, there is always a better place and an advanced way to getting “there.” However, to keep improving, you must accept the challenges of personal development.
Everyone likes greatness, but not everyone is willing the pay the price.
Many people are frustrated today and they blame their frustrations on the devil. They have never sat to reason and meditate on what they have been doing, and how they can improve on it. Every “big name” in the marketing industry keeps their reputation through advancement. So, you must not “rest on your laurels.”
Don’t let anything hold you from improving on yourself. If you must stand out in life, then you should be able to prove that you can adapt and outshine any situation; no matter how difficult it may seem. You cannot be forced by anyone to improve on yourself. Every improvement you get is solely to your advantage, so you are the major, and sometimes the only, motivating factor.
Therefore, it is too early in life for you to sit down, thinking you have arrived. The race is still on! You have met many people on this journey who are still taking giants strides. Some were far ahead of you before you joined in and they are still moving. You too, must motivate yourself to keep advancing until you breathe your last. Advancement doesn’t weigh anyone down; it only strengthens you on all sides.
Remain Blessed!
