Are you better today than you were yesterday?
Let me ask the question differently – Have you learned something valuable in the past 24 hrs that will help you in the future?
When I ask this question, I almost always get a look of confusion followed by a timid – “I don’t think so.”
That’s crazy!
Unless you were in a coma you definitely learned something.
It may be small, but there is no doubt in my mind that you had at least 1 experience that provided a bit of education.
For example, in the past 24 hrs I have already learned (or in my case relearned – that still counts!) a bunch of stuff including:
· When there is a heat advisory I had better bring my running clothes to work because my wife won’t let me run outside.
· My clients don’t always respond to my advice the way I want them to.
· Relationships with fellow church members are extremely important to me
That’s after no more than 60 seconds of brainstorming.
Every day is filled with multiple opportunities to learn and improve. You just need to keep your eyes open and recognize these opportunities.
What did you learn today?
