Self-Directed Learning: Color Your Life by Learning Something New Today and by Discovering the Vision for Your Tomorrow

Human apathy is one of the worst attitudes towards life there is. It leads us to a spiritless state of mind that just languidly accepts living day in and day out without ever expecting anything to change for the better.
When we come to this point we accept life as a lackluster sequence of unattractive, but necessary events, with hopefully a few gratifying moments in between. Worries, problems, and disillusions take their toll on our daily walk and nudge us, in a very subtle way, towards a stagnant existence of listless detachment.
The problem is that we abandon our dreams and resign to a lower level of life.
But your dreams were not intended to end up in a funeral, destined to get buried and lost forever. They were placed in your heart by God Himself to impulse you forward toward constant growth in pursuit of them.
They are there to give you a vision and a purpose for your future. So no matter what state your life is in right now, if those dreams are still dormant, it’s time to arouse them.
The best way to revive your dreams is by determining to learn something new related to them. If you’ve always wanted to write a book, maybe it’s time to study the style of your favorite author, or to take a typing course. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to be an artist, but never had the chance to develop your gifts. Well, today is the day to start. That “some day” when you’ll have time will never arrive!
Then, when you’re well on your way, start sowing your gift into other lives. Pass it on to bless others. That is why God put it there in the first place. This will bless you more than anybody else.
Take some time to assess what you have to do to arrive where you want to go. I can assure you that God will open doors for you when you determine to get back on track with His program for your life.
Even if you just take a small baby step today, at least you are on your way and you’re not stagnant any more. You can make changes today that will affect the course of your life forever.
