I’ve laid it all out for you in this new video post:

 

 

Notes on Expanding Your Thinking:

 

It’s very important to read.

  • A huge common denominator in wise people is that they read.
  • I’m not saying you have to read my books, but you should read somebody’s books.
  • Find something that doesn’t bore you to tears.

 

Seeking wisdom is the only thing that will allow us to think beyond what we know.

  • It’s the “seek” part that’s so important.
  • Like Jones told me, you have to ask questions in order to receive wisdom.
  • You rarely just stumble upon wisdom.

 

Proverbs is one of my greatest sources of wisdom.

  • For years, I’ve read one chapter of Proverbs every single day.
  • That’s a great place to start.

 

Question: What are some methods that YOU have used to expand your thinking?
