Potential is limited by one's current thinking. By one's awareness.
What do I believe about my potential? What do I believe about success?
I know I've become more aware of my limitations and as with that awareness has come the knowledge of limitation's negative impact. The awareness of self-limiting beliefs and it's link to my thinking, or lack of. Thus, I must expand my thinking and as the new thinking becomes current, expand that. Persisting through one comfort zone after another.
It's all intertwined. Blended.
The culmination of my present awareness provides the thoughts on my current view of Biblical success. But I've been limited by my thinking. God made me in His image and He's instructed me to seek 1st the "K"ingdom within. Someone once said "it's hard to see the picture when you're in the frame." For the driven, the choleric, the type A temperament, we don't like limitations, we like seeing the whole picture. Right now!
Yet, in His glory, God conceals matters. The glory of kings is to search matters out - Proverbs 25:2.
I'm becoming more aware that to search means to be active; and to evaluate activity. New "frontiers" are not found by just thinking. As I've gotten older, and the failures have taken toll, I've tended to be more cautious. I've told myself to be more thoughtful and that's led to less action. But to search means to implement, evaluate, correct and re-implement and so on. As Collins said in "Good to Great," it's about the hedgehog concept. And the faster we go around and around, the better we evaluate, correct and re-implement, the faster we get to the new stuff.
Thinking combined with action.
Maybe therein lies the success. The peace. The Sabbath.
To that end.....here's to true success. God made me in His image. That's done. Now I MUST search past those limitations. Limitations due to my current learning model.
Again, to that end....here's to improving my learning model!
Again, to that end....here's to improving my learning model!
