Is Success Killing Your Dreams?

Is Success Killing Your Dreams?
“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men”
Proverbs 18:16

How do you differentiate between your gift and your talents or skills?
Gift – 1) something you have a true passion for and could do 24/7 with or without reward or recognition. 2) the thought of never doing “this” makes you sad/depressed and you can’t imagine “this” not being a part of your life.

Talent – 1) you do this because you can 2) you have to be rewarded/compensated/recognized for it 3) if you do it, cool. If you don’t, you wouldn’t miss it.

Your talents are an illusion and can create a perception of truth. Also, your talents can be “dated”. You may possess a skill set that is in demand today and you can not give it away tomorrow. But your gift flows from you and through you effortlessly and never dries up, fade away, runs out, or ends. (”For the gifts and the calling of GOD are irrevocable”) Romans 11:29 (NKJV)

It’s time for all of us to LIVE and not just exist. Everything you need is already in you. (”You are already full! You are already rich!…”) 1 Corinthians 4:8 (NKJV)

Self Improvement

Written by funker on August 31, 2009 – 9:19 am

Self improvement is a life-long journey with many rewarding places to visit along the way. Self improvement isn’t simply getting a higher paid job, being healthier, becoming wealthy, having lots of friends etc. Self Improvement is about truthfulness, compassion and integrity to yourself. Self improvement is a continuous struggle to better ourselves. Self improvement is quickly moving from the proverbs found in Benjamin Franklin’s Almanacs which were the earliest American self improvement to the space age of brain machines, computer software and virtual reality.

Self improvement empowers you to start living an exceedingly abundant life today. Self improvement is a life-long journey with many rewarding places to visit along the way. Self Improvement or Self Help in many ways is the action that we intentional cope with ourselves and situations that arise in our lives. This may involve changing others or the environment around us to improve our own circumstances, but self improvement is primarily focused on changing our own behavior, skill sets, thoughts or cognition, unconscious processes, or feelings. So then, why does it seem that most people tend to struggle with self improvement.
