Live intentionally.

"Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches."

Proverbs 24:3-4(AMP)

There is a man named Steven K. Scott. He was flunked out of nine jobs in his first six years after college. Then his mentor, Dr. Gary Smalley, called him and told him that if he would read the book of proverbs everyday for five years, he will become a millionaire. When Steve Scott heard it, he started doing it and in two and half years, he was worth about four million dollars from principles he learnt and practised from the book of proverbs.

The story I just shared with you above is a proven story. Therefore, I recommend the same thing to you. Start reading a chapter everyday in the book of proverbs. Write down and practise the principles you learn every day. You will definitely turn out to become one of the wealthiest in the world.

Do not be too busy to practise things that will add value to your life. Some young people spend their time reading novels and watching soap operas that will not add any value to their lives when they should have been reading the book of Proverbs and other good books that will prepare them for a great future; building their capacity and character.

They have not learnt to add value to their lives by giving value to their time today. If only they knew that there are three phases of life they could have been more purposeful. 0-30 are your learning years. 30-60 are your giving years and 60-90 are your rewarding years.

Therefore, if you do not decide to add value to your life today and learn the right things, you will have nothing to give because you cannot give what you don't have. Also, if you have nothing to give to your world, there will be no rewards accruing to your life. That is why many people are poor today. They did not trade the phases of their lives with wisdom. Wisdom is living your life intentionally to achieve a desired end.

Instruction.
