The Zone


Gotta stay in the zone!
The zone is the mind space we need to be in to live out our calling.
The zone is the environment in which our minds will perform at their highest ability.
Staying in the zone is based on three principles-
1. Spiritual connection; Staying connected to God through prayer and reading the word. Total devotion to God. Do this everyday.
2. Exercise the brain muscle; "the brain is like a muscle it expands with use" (Peter Daniels). Read autobiographies, listen to pod casts of preachers and teachers who do great things. Do this everyday.
3. Eat well and stay fit; Eat what you burn not what you retain. Do this everyday.

Watch what happens, if you're in the right environment you will flourish.

life

I have realised there really is a lot I don't know. My opinion is valid to a degree but my knowledge is what counts.
When I say knowledge it is based on what I actually know. The things I actually know are things that I have learnt practically in life. They are the things that will project me into my future.
Knowledge is compounding; As I learn more about life I add that to my knowledge stock pile and it compounds the things I do. The more I learn about life, the more everything gets stream lined and improved. Everything! relationships, work, ministry.

So it is better to commit to learn than try to prove myself. It is better to be a student rather than an expert.
If I learn and apply I will more than likely succeed.
