Never Stop Growing, Never Stop Learning

Have been going to the gym and sleeping late and as a result, end up thinking much before bedtime...

The few thoughts that have kept coming back is -

In the past year,

What did you learn?
Did you grow - mentally, spiritually, physically, character-wise?
Are you stretching yourself to be more, go beyond yourself and what you think you could do?
Are you doing more of what you love?
Are you learning more about what you are passionate about?

Or...
Are you stagnant where you are, not learning, not growing, just being, not living?
Are you wondering what you are doing with your life?

Is your "now" what you want?
Is that enough?
Are the people around you helping you grow?
Are the people around you supportive?
Are you actually meeting people to catch up?
Are you abandoning relationships?
Are you neglecting what you are supposed to do and what you are called for?

I rejoice when I meet friends who have grown to be who they want to be over the years and constantly learn as they live. I feel a little sad that some have stopped smelling the flowers and enjoying God's presence, especially being numb to His goodness having gotten used to the mundane everyday work and routine. I have been the latter and I no longer want to stay there.

Struggling at work of late because of how mundane it is and at the same time hate it when it is not because the only time it is not is when a problem arises - I don't know which is worse.

Holding on to what a pastor prophesied over me many years ago -
The sky's my limit,
and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

So I am only limited by what I want and ask for and where I put my limit. If I reach as high as the sky, then yes it will come to pass because I've got Christ's strength in me. \o/ hllj tqj

Looking forward to the good things God has in store for me -
I want to grow and grow and never stop learning.

I hope you do the same.
