Identify Your Blind Spots = You must know yourself in order to grow yourself. This means, if you want to grow in an area, you first have to be aware of the areas in your life that require growth. Everyone has blind spots where they lack awareness. It is important to take inventory, and figure out what these blind spots are. The people around you can help you identify the areas in your life that need improvement. Ask those closest to you for help identifying your blind spots! Taking this action will lead to awareness and in turn, create growth.

1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

2 Peter 3:1-18 ESV This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, ...

Genesis 17:1 When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and announced, "I am God Almighty. Live in constant awareness that I'm always with you, and be blameless.

Genesis 17:18 So Abraham responded to God, "If only Ishmael would live in constant awareness that you're always with him!”

Numbers 15:24 and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

Scriptures

Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

Proverbs 22:6 ESV Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

1 Timothy 4:7-8 ESV Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

Hebrews 5:11-14 ESV About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Reflection Quotes

Quotes About Reflection

• Reflect upon your blessings, of which everyone has plenty, not on your past misfortunes, of which everyone has some. --CHARLES DICKENS
• 3 methods to learn wisdom: 1 reflection, which is noblest; 2 imitation, which is easiest; & 3 experience, which is the bitterest. --Confucius

• Too many people are afraid of silence. It is as if something has to be happening all the time. But often, with silence, there is more happening.

• What we have learned from others becomes our own reflection. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting. --EDMUND BURKE

 

Experience is Not the Best Teacher

https://youtu.be/7jmP-8KvCmU

Turn Experience Into Insight = Spending time in reflection is one of the essentials to personal growth. Reflection turns experience into insight. Experience in itself doesn’t lead to growth. In every experience ask yourself, “What did I love, and what did I learn?” … Pull back, reflect, and your takeaways will lead to growth. It takes intentional discipline to consistently reflect and grow from your life experiences. 

https://youtu.be/bErvHwhOKtg

Reflect and Think = Think daily to apply what you learn in life. Reflection turns experience into insight. By spending time thinking and reflecting on what you learn and experience, you can extract from that experience and reflect on your personal growth.

Impact Others By Keeping it Simple - THE LAW OF SIMPLICITY

https://youtu.be/gNz--bcP7cc

Less Is More= Communicators take something complicated and make it simple. This means they get to the point before people ask what the point is, and they use repetition. When you communicate with others ask yourself, “What do you want people to know?” and “What do you want them to do?” The goal is for the audience to understand and be able to apply the concepts you are teaching. Keep your message simple.

https://youtu.be/qxieIYGxNBo

Don't Add To The Problem = Don't add to the problem, solve it, and simplify it. Keep your problems very simple, break them down into manageable parts, and deal with the one you have in the moment before moving on to the next one.

https://youtu.be/yYNwUvsnmRM

Keep it Simple = When things get complicated, people tend to tune out. If you are looking to capture and hold the attention of an audience, complexity is not the way to go. Great leaders aim to simplify.

Enjoy the Victories; Grow Through the Struggles | MWM

https://youtu.be/vbgVDhrWeDE

Everyone wants to be a winner. There is little difference between success and failure. Both are a necessary part of success. When we go through life, we enjoy the victories, but we grow through the struggles. We need those struggles in order to grow. Do the best you can, keep growing, and you will be a winner. 

Impressing is Not Influencing | MWM

https://youtu.be/E-RtcXBvYCY

Choose Kindness = We all want to win and to be right, but we don’t always need to be in competition with others. We don’t influence others by impressing them about our own greatness, but by impressing upon them how wonderful they are. If you have the choice to be right or the choice to be kind, choose to be #kind. 

https://youtu.be/yPRYIjsSJaU

Help Others Win = We all want to win, but most people do not win on a consistent basis. We don't want to continually lose our way to success, we need wins and victories under our belt to keep us going. Success is all about several wins and steps taken, and you step your way up to success. Do what you can to help people get little wins under their belt. 

https://youtu.be/7Bbp7kuvdzI

Who doesn’t want to win? We are experts at desiring to win. We all want to be winners so much so that we live by slogans that tell us if you’re not winning, you’re losing. But, sometimes, if you’re not winning, you’re simply not practicing. Everyone knows the saying, “Practice makes perfect.” But practice also makes winners. The formula to winning: Do the practice—do what you need to do to get to where you need to go. It’s really that simple.

https://youtu.be/62l1SA2hAW4

Tim Tebow, like many of us, enjoys winning. He enjoys winning so much that he despises losing. Losing, for Tim, is painful. But Tim soon learned that he may have been wrong about what makes a winner. Is it a championship, a trophy or a well-known name? Or, is a winner made up of something much deeper, much more significant, impactful, purposeful and powerful?
