Encouragement for New Believers預覽

Another sign that you need personal growth is losing interest in your career. Many people think this happens from staying in one job too long or having a midlife crisis. But in reality, we often lose interest in our jobs because we stop focusing on our growth.

Look at those who show the most intensity and creativity. Typically, they’re passionate about their work and focus more on the big picture than on small details. While others get stuck in daily routines, growth-oriented people are actively trying to make a bigger impact.

These are people who are constantly growing, learning, and gaining new experiences—people who never lose interest in their work or their life. Growing peanuts sounds pretty boring, right? Not to George Washington Carver! He studied them, developed them, discovered hundreds of different uses for them, and became so famous he was invited to Washington, D.C. to explain the secret of his success to a congressional committee. Here’s what he told them: "God created the peanut. So I just asked Him to tell me what could be done with it, and He showed me!" It’s that simple.

Spend as much time growing your knowledge and experience as you do on routine tasks, and see if your interest and excitement improve. The Bible says, "A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength." (Proverbs 24:5 NIV)
