“Opportunity dances with
those who are ready on the dance
floor.” ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Good
morning!
I have always
felt that one of the best things I have going
for me is my eternal quest to learn more.
As we move through life, we keep our minds
fresh and our souls young
when we strive to continually learn and improve.
The options
available today for learning are endless.
We can learn online, through videos, books,
local colleges, art stores, correspondence courses…. I can’t think of
any group
that demonstrates personal growth better than those who go back to
school late
in life. A young
friend of mine recently
graduated from college and received her degree, right after an
eighty-two-year-old classmate, who had just completed her B.A. At her graduation party,
this
eighty-two-year-old still hadn’t quite decided what she was going to do
with
her life.
Personal growth
allows us to experience new and exciting
parts of this world and also shows our children how to be open to new
experiences, more options, and a diverse opportunity.
Your Turn:
Every year,
make a goal for yourself in the area of personal growth. Perhaps it will be to take
a new class, learn
a new skill, research a home-based business, or read a certain number
of
books. Whatever
goal works for you is
fine, as long as it pulls you past old boundaries.
Today’s Affirmation:
Every year, I challenge myself to learn
something new.
And as always, don't forget
to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
