1). Do not procrastinate in starting your book or computer file.

2). The list of poor human responses have become your natural yet fatal reactions to life. By studying these items you will discover that these are evil spirits that make you seem foolish, lazy, disobedient, prideful, intellectually and professionally blind.

The above is an opposite list of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

3). Wisdom is usually associated with age, and this daily exercise will stimulate spiritual and intellectual maturity in just a few days.

4). Please take the time to review all your foolish mistakes even if you think many of your decisions were right. Often letting go of false justification can improve your health and talents. The man who suffered from palsy was spiritually suffering from several grievous sins of his past. (Mark 2:2-5)

5). Some of your review is going to be things you forgot because they were so painful. Review them nonetheless because the more painful, the more powerful to inhibit your professional success. Jesus asked Peter to confess his mistakes three times before he was ready for leadership of the Church. (John 21:15-17) Remember you can forget, but your soul always remembers everything.

6). Someone said, “the night has eyes,” so be vigilant not to allow your enemies to hear your prayers and confessions. The word from Jesus is do these prayers and confessions in your secret closet, (Matt. 6:6) and He will grow and reward you publicly. Remember Jesus said, “…don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” (Matt. 6:3-4)

7). Finally, this growth in strength, wisdom, understanding and professional success is purposed to defend the Church against the rampant evil in the world today. Be a good soldier and follow His orders.
