Seven Steps to Developing Any Talent

You can have any skill you want. Really, you can. But... the big but. You have to want it. You have to work at it. You have no idea where to start.

Learning something new can be broken down into a process and then the same process applied to anything you are interested in. And with the amount of knowledge available at your finger tips the only valid excuse you can have is that it not a priority for your time.

Here are 7 steps you can apply to any skill you want to develop.

One more time

I am beginning again.... again.  So I know that is my continuing theme here.  I am always starting over. I have been constantly trying to have my fresh start, the one that will finally stick.  And my intentions are always sincere.  I always genuinely mean that I am going to make it a real habit.  But some how, this is always my most common post.  Can I say that this time I really mean it without it being a cliche, guaranteeing my failure?  I believe I can....

I think I can.... I think I can.

I think I can.

Ok so here goes.

To New Beginnings

Lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting on my life and the kind of life I want to lead.  There are so many good I want to be able to do, things I want to be able to accomplish.  Particularly things I want to teach my children.  But when I look at how I am living my life now, it is going to take a long time to be able to accomplish the least of items on that list, let alone all of them.  So I know I need to make changes, I know I want to be more organized, have a better schedule and be teaching my children differently then I have been doing.  I want to not only recognize the value of work, but know it by living it.  I want to be actively shaping my character, not simply letting life happen to me.  The difficulty is that I have wanted this in the past.  But I can never seem to keep the motivation and commitment that I start with.  As I was pondering that today, two verses in particular came to mind:

But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. -Jacob 2:18
