When you stop learning you stop living. Are you stressed, overworked, having trouble dealing with the everyday challenges of life? Have you encountered the same problems over and over again in different situations? It's not what's happening to you that is stressing you out, it's how you are handling it.
"God keeps giving us the same lessons until we learn it."
~ Noelle Clay
Often a young student would walk by the home of a well respected professor in the community. The student noticed that at many different times of the day he walked by, the professor would be reading books in his study. One day the student had an opportunity to speak to the professor and asked, "Doctor, What keeps you studying? You are top in your field. You've spoke at many universities and you never seem to stop learning." The professor replied, "Son, I would rather have my students drink from a running stream than from a stagnant pool."
If we continue to swim in the stagnant pool, we will continue to handle situations the same way and we will get the same results. With a running stream, comes new information on how to handle adversity.
"The problem isn’t the problem, how you handle the problem is."
~ Dr. Rob Gilbert
Quote of the month: "Most of life's failures are those people who didn't realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
