You’ve probably heard someone say, “You reap what you sow.” In other words, you harvest what you plant. The law of reaping and sowing is just as real as the law of gravity. If I jump off the stage, I’m confident I will land on floor. While it may be fun for you to watch, it might not turn out so pleasant for me. Some of the most frustrated people I know are those who want to experience change but don’t want to do anything different. It doesn’t work that way. Generous people don’t think like stingy people. They understand the law of the harvest. They understand that whatever you want out of life, give it away: If you want to be loved, love people. If you want to be alone, grumpy, and bitter – give nothing away. What do you want? Really want? Are you willing to give it away? Professor…

When we do what is convenient, we tend to get common results. When we do what is inconvenient, we will get uncommon results. Why do most people simply do what is convenient?

If you were tired of having sand kicked in your face by the bigger, more muscular bully, the Charles Atlas dynamic tension workout program promised dramatic results … in only seven days! Although I'm pretty sure Charles Atlas was not a physiologist, he had captured a principle that is critical to success in any area of life: growth – personal or physical – doesn’t happen within our comfort zones. Growth requires pushing through boundaries, not staying within them. The 97-pound weakling is transformed by applying a load of stress to his muscles that is greater than what his muscles had previously adapted to. During the period of rest that follows exercise, muscle mass is added as…

The only way to increase muscle strength is to increase the tension. The only way to grow spiritually is to stretch beyond where you are comfortable. Why is that?
