2/27–How To Get To The Next Level

  :,.

Here are three things that just about anyone can do if they are looking to develop a new skill, improve on  an existent talent,  or compete  and perform at  a higher level.

1. Seek Out Challenges. The  kind of growth and development you want exists only in that area just  beyond your comfort zone.  It is not so far out there that you’ll never succeed but close enough to the edge of what you know is possible to ignite  your creativity in interest. You must take a chance and possibly fail so you can learn something , pick yourself up and try again.
2. Practice with intention.  It doesn’t matter how long you practice something if you’re not 100% present and focused on what you are doing . This means limiting distractions, phone, music, food, guests—that shift your attention away from the task at hand. 
3. Manage your time according to research world class  violinists practice in chunks of time that lasts from 60 to 90 minutes.  The same is true for many  elite athletes.  After 90 minutes of deliberate practice where one

is focused entirely on their own craft or  sport, the mind  will eventually begin  to wander and the body will succumb to fatigue. Depending on what you are engaged in, a rest from six minutes to half an hour would be enough to recharge most people.

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:14-16

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

2/27–I was shopping in the pet section of my local supermarket when I overheard a woman singing the praises of a particular water bowl to her husband. “Look, it even has a water filter!” she concluded, holding the doggie dish out for her husband’s inspection. He had a slightly different take on things: “Dear, he drinks out of the toilet.”
