Make the Most of Your Abilities

TODAY’S THOUGHT

How is it that many individuals, who posses only limited capabilities, manage to attract great admiration for extraordinary results?  

TODAY’S TAKEAWAYS

  • You cannot rise above the level of your vision.
  • Take stock of your abilities, talents and assets.
  • Discipline your abilities for maximum usefulness.
  • A definite sense of purpose adds a strong motivation for making the most of our abilities.
  • Without imagination our lives become routine, routine leads to complacency, and complacency is deadly to the expansion of our abilities.
  • We must preserve in the use of our talents.  

TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR: KENNETH HILDEBRAND

1906 to 1979 American Author Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty — shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power.
