Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
Self-ImageSelf-image is how one views oneself. Healthy self-image is the fruit of true humility.
I am continually learning about myself - my weaknesses and strengths, what makes me frustrated and what makes me joyful, what brings me great sorrow and what has my soul leap for happiness. My sustained peace comes from the realization that I was not made for this world but the next, and my role now is to be and become the best version of myself. |
Personal ReflectionPersonal reflection is the earnest evaluation of oneself. One must develop a deep honesty in order to discover the fruits of personal reflection.
I know indeed my great obstacles that hinder me from becoming the best and most true version of myself thanks to the tool of personal reflection. I am weak in the face of fatigue and too often over-emphasis the strivings for perfection while leaving behind the triumphs of excellence. |
Taking the Initiative to LeadTo take the initiative to lead is to make and take opportunities to serve, lead, and love. One must be vigilant and aware of situations that may arise and make the most of each opportunity.
One great leap in my own development of taking the initiative to lead is in my involvement in creating a new student organization that exists to unite athletes on campus in faith in Jesus Christ. |
Connecting with OthersMan was made a social being and so to connect with others is to fulfill our responsibility to be relationship beings. Connecting with others requires both a giving of self and also a receiving of other.
I have learned of a special word that unlocks the great gift of connecting with others: receptivity. Receptivity is to quiet one's urge for selfishness and respond to the need of the person before him/her. I believe a great skill to be learned is how to truly listen to the people in one's life, and look through there lens of life in order to offer back to them something that directs them to the good and the true. |
Team Building SkillsTeam building has become a must in our society; healthy team building is to gather a unit united by a common goal where each member is granted the opportunity of utilization of their gifts for the greater good of their cause.
I have learned that communication is especially important in the develop of team. Each member must be given the shared goal, so each member knows what he/she is helping build. |
