When you want to know how to do something, what is your best options? In reality, who do you listen to? It would be a good idea to go to the source for your information on what you want to know, wouldn’t it? You know what happens when information gets passed from one person to another, right? It gets changed and modified. Think about the children’s game where someone tells a simply story to another person, who then passes it on to the next, who passes it on down the line. In fact it can get transformed to such a great amount it looks nothing like it did when it came from the original source. First hand information is always the best.
The next best option would be to listen to people who have what you want and have been where you are now. These people can provide you with the information to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Take advantage of someone else’s experience to move you along your journey quicker avoiding the pitfalls they made. Remember however, you are ultimately responsible for your own decisions.
When you consider the principles for successful living contained in the Word of God and the variety of accounts of various people who demonstrate both what to do and what not to do, you have both of the best options of who do you listen to in one location.
That being the case, who will you chose to listen to on the path towards what you believe is success?
What steps will you take towards becoming the best version of you possible?
