How to Keep From Growing
Never learn from experience. Keep on doing the same fool things time after time.
Never wait to hear the other side of the story. Knowing both sides will only unsettle your mind.
Use your wit destructively. Be smart at the expense of absent people.
Stand on your dignity. Never forget that you have a position to keep up.
Never be original. Find out what is usually done and copy that.
Sneer at those who are more successful than yourself.
Tell yourself that it is now too late, and that you really did not have the proper equipment; and it will be especially
helpful to keep saying that people are against you.
Try to get everything cheap. Study and practice to become the perfect “chiseler. ” This will build an invincible poverty
complex.
Realize that you have nothing more to learn. This will destroy all danger of success.
…the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness (Proverbs 12:23).
Was it Albert Einstein who said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? In each of our lives we do things that should teach us lessons upon which we can grow. These things happen so we can change our behavior and develop into the beings God intends us to be. If we ignore these lessons, we are condemned to make the same mistakes time and again.
When we are driving, signs along the road warn us to slow down, turn ahead or to watch for dangerous situations. When we ignore those signs we get lost or crash. The good news is we don’t have to do either. All we have to do is follow God’s will, heed the signs, grow according to what we learn and we will arrive at the Eden God created for us.
Growing to God,
