Either Use It . . . . Or Lose It

By
Education & Training with Ludwig & Associates

Either Use It . . . . Or Lose It  

“God gives everyone certain attributes, characteristics,

talents, and then he says, ‘if you use what you have

I’ll increase it, But if you don’t use it, you

lose it.’ Use it or lose it; it’s a law.”

Charlie “Tremendous’ Jones, Motivational Speaker  

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Either use it . . . . Or lose it

 

Talent is meant to be used . . . . and to be expanded. As you expand your talent you grow as a person . . . . That growth enables you to achieve greater levels of success . . . . and enjoy a more productive life.

 

The more you use your talent the more it grows . . . .  expands your reach . . . . and the more valuable it becomes.

 

Talent that goes unused will wither away much like unpicked fruit from a tree . . . . and will return very little . . . . or no benefits to the holder.

 

Talent is meant to be expanded . . . . and stretched . . . . and once expanded your talent never return to its original size.

 

You build your future from your strengths . . . . and when you take your talent . . . .  and continually expand them. You expand not only your talent you also expand your future. 

 

Either use it . . . . Or lose it. Bring your talent to the surface . . . . No matter what level talent that you currently have continually to build on it . . . . and your will expand your future and your potential.

Hello Lou,

Use it or lose it is right...take your talent and make it grow.  To let it be wasted would be criminal!

So true Lou, exercise that brain or you will loose your memory. I really like what William Feela said. So true, use and expand your talents or you will go backwards.

Good morning Lou Ludwig. That is so true. Parallels the parable of the master giving talents to his servants.

I read the following somewhere, sometime ago...It's been said you can live 40 days without food, 4 days without water, 4 minutes without air. But you can't live 4 seconds without hope.
