It's Smart to Self-Sharpen..



Fantastic Morning!

My Motivation today isn't the regular pat-on-the-shoulder, interesting type but hey, it's necessary to look inward from time to time, to make necessary changes that could sharpen our lives and make us better individuals generally .

Imagine driving in a heavy rain and your wiper isn't working: It' d be almost impossible to navigate your way, because your vision is affected by the rain and it's either you keep driving in the rain so slowly( which is very risky and could be frustrating), or stop to fix the faulty wiper OR better still halt your journey entirely until the rains stop.

As small as a car wiper is, it can bring you to a halt when it's faulty; delaying your journey in the process. It's wisdom to ensure it's in a good state before you are caught driving in the rains with bad wipers.

Sometimes in life, little things here and there are such that hinder us from making the big progress or taking giant strides. Dealing with pessimism could be an arduous task, yet it might be the key to moving to the next level in life for someone. A laid-back attitude to work, a disrespectful disposition to one's spouse, lack of trust in a relationship, laxity to the things of God, debilitating fear of the future, procrastination, laziness, impulsive spending , refusing to take responsibility and other habits that trip us over and again just generally hinder us from being our best life-version.
Everyone has got to do some introspection from time to time. Ecc 10:10 says "Using a dull axe requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That's the value of wisdom, it helps you succeed"
Just like we sharpen our knife set for maximal cutting-strength, We all must be able to look at ourselves in the mirror and have a good heart-to-heart talk with "Ms Me" from time to time so as to become better business owners, employees, employers, wives, mothers and all. Doing the same thing time and again and expecting a different result is insanity according to a popular quote.

It's very easy to point out faults in other people, but it's usually difficult admitting to our own selves the need to make the teeny-weeny adjustments here and there within. Self-Examination, Self-Talk, Self-Motivate, Self-Sharpen sometimes is the key to optimal performance on Life's Stage Set.

We admire the Butterfly, but without it's metamorphosis cycle; the Larva (Caterpillar) hatching from an egg, losing of it's old skin, becoming a Pupa and then an adult, there's no beauty in sight....
Change is Necessary: Always!
