Today we will continue to talk about actualizing all of your potential. Yesterday we talked about increasing your core strength. Today we’re talking about one more thing that is important is reaching your potential and that is getting better at what you are good at – find your strengths and excel. You can’t be good or an expert at everything! As it says in II Peter 1:5-11 we are to continue being perfected. How do you do that? Here’s some ideas.
a. Find your strengths. Where are you strong? Add to that knowledge. Pat yourself on the back for what you do well. Start simple if you have to!
You got out of bed! You love and serve your family. You choose joy over depression, give yourself another pat on the back! GOOD JOB! You’re a good parent, you have great discipline! Perfect your strengths!
b. Quit kicking yourself for what you don’t do, or what you aren’t good at. If you have areas to improve, and we all do, look at them as growth areas! Know where your weaknesses are, but concentrate on what you do well! Quit comparing yourself with others. Do what you do…..really well!
- Use your time wisely. To get better at anything means you have to make time for it. Find your time drains. Where are you wasteful with your time? Make the most of every opportunity and every moment you have.
You do have the ability to improve…and when you do you will be closer still to doing, being, and having all that God has for you!
