The Maxwell Daily Readers:
Set your priorities and focus on your strengths today.
Everyday its important to work towards building your strengths and focusing on skills that will continue your personal development. Most days, I get up first thing in the morning and start the day with a workout. Exercising first thing gives me the energy to pursue the rest of my tasks for the day. Then, I focus my attention on my academics. The assignments that I work on can be difficult and provide all my concentration to generate a passing grade. These are simple examples of the priorities I focus on.
Daily Reflections
It is truly awful to admit that, glass in hand, we have warped our minds into such an obsession for destructive drinking and using that only an act of providence can remove it from us.
My predicament has given me the time to introspect . And, I realized that something needed to drastically change. I began my spiritual journey at that point and I have been progressing ever since. My devotion is to my faith and personal development. The guidance that God has given me has been life changing. The overwhelming sense of serenity provides me a foundation that I never had before. I accept God into my life today because He gives me the tools I need in order to continue my recovery.
Education
The most important aspect of my daily life right now is pursuing my education. In fact, it gives me a sense of purpose that helps me gradually evolve into the person I’m working to become.
Philosophy 201
After having an assignment on the great Rene Descartes, I’ve developed a key interest in his beliefs. My textbook “The Great Conversations: A Historical Introduction to Philosophy, Norman Melchert provides an interesting example of Descartes method of systemic doubt and his arguments for the existence of self, God, and the physical world.
