We Are Slow Learners

We Are Slow Learners

Relearn a lesson forty or fifty times to really get it."not again,I've already learned that!"- but God knows better. We need repeated exposure.

We Have A Lot To Unlearn

We Have A Lot To Unlearn

All of our bad habits didn't develop overnight, it's unrealistic to expect them to go away immediately. Requires the hardwork of "removal and placement".The bible calls it removing of old self and putting on the new self.

This gives direction as I assess my priorities and milestones vis a vis the activities that I have been actually doing.

Purpose always produces passion.

This is the true joy of life: the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

Living on purpose

Living on purpose is the path to peace.

Dwelling On Past

We are products of our past, But we don't have to be prisoners of it.

- Rick Warren
