Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - October 15th


Potential is not an endpoint but a capacity to grow and learn. -Eileen Kennedy-Moore



Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting. - Joyce Meyer



Hardships occur to build a person’s character. - Sahara Sanders, Gods’ Food



Last week, the author wrote about patience and what it is like when a seed is planted.  The seed does not sprout overnight and a new tree appear the next day.  It takes patience and time for the new plant to grow.  During this time, the farmer continues to water and fertilize the plant.



Just as a farmer develops a plant during the waiting season, the reader also can develop during the waiting season.  Based on the dream, the waiting season can be used for professional or personal development.  Also, it is a great time to clean out spaces to be prepared for the future.  Lastly, this time can be used for developing relationships. 



This time of patience also provides the opportunity for character development.  The reader can do everything they possible can and still not accomplish the dream they desire.  During the waiting season, the reader has to be resilient, have gratitude and be patient.  A decision has to be made during this time of character development.  Will they keep pushing toward their dream praying for a breakthrough or will they quit?  Trying times develop the reader’s character and just like a tree the reader develops great strength and roots during the growing season.  Character development will be beneficial when the dream comes to fruition. 



A tree that grows too quickly without developing deep roots falls over in the slightest wind.  Develop depth not shallowness of character. -  David Cuschieri



Where victims see adversity, extreme achievers see opportunity. — Robin Sharma

CHALLENGE:  What areas of character development are you working on during this season of life?
