Seek Wisdom

In this episode of Principles with Cory and Logan we continue our book series discussion on the book: The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews with Scott King. Scott King is a community leader focused impact and changing his branch of the family tree. In this episode we an excerpt from the book: The lazy man never seeks wisdom. At what age are we no longer influenced by those we associate with? ALWAYS. Many of our problems can be traced back to relationships with the wrong people. Guard your associations with other people, anytime you associate with mediocrity you become comfortable and tolerate mediocrity in your own life. If a lazy man isn't an irritation to you it may mean you're becoming slothful yourself. Only a fool refuses the counsel of wise men. Find a wise man and listen to his words. Serving is a way to place value on others. Do battle with the challenges of the present and you will unlock the prizes of your future. I WILL SEEK WISDOM.- knowing wisdom waits to be gathered, I will seek her out. No longer will I bombard my mind with material that affects negativity. God gives us opportunities to move mountains. If I choose to associate with chickens I'll learn to scratch and squabble over crumbs. If I choose to associate with eagles I'll learn to soar to great heights. The words of a wise man are like rain drops on dry ground. When I counsel with just myself I counsel with what I already know, by counseling with a wise man I add his knowledge and experience to my own. He who serves the most grows the fastest. I will not look for someone to open my door but I'll look to open the door for others. I'll listen to wise counsel. Only the diligent find wisdom, the lazy don't even search. Another thought we discussed in this episode is: MOST PEOPLE HAVE A COMMON CONDITION IN THAT THEY HEAR BUT DO NOT LISTEN. What we allow into our eyes and ears plays a huge role in how we believe and shapes our wisdom. Those we hang out with also play a role. Here are just a few questions you may ask yourself as it relates to wisdom as well 1. THE ASSOCIATIONS YOU HANG OUT WITH: WHAT ARE THEY ADDING TO YOU? 2. WHAT ARE THEY SUBTRACTING FROM YOU? 3. WHO DO YOU NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME? 4. WHO DO YOU NEED TO SPEND LESS TIME? 1. HOW COMMITTED TO SEEKING WISDOM ARE YOU? 2. PART ON SEEKING WISDOM IS GUARDING YOUR HEART, HOW INTENTIONAL WILL YOU BE IN PROTECTING WHAT GOES IN YOUR EYES AND EARS? 👇 STAY CONNECTED WITH CORY HERE 👇 Stay Connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cory.lee.311/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cory_lee_leadership/ Website: www.coryleeleadership.com/legacybuilders Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/principles-with-cory-and-logan/id1500804875
