If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities that I consider to have significantly influenced my journey are determination, flexibility, and faith. For those who are just beginning their own paths, always keep your motivation and aspirations in mind; your purpose for starting this journey will fuel your determination. When challenges arise and doubts creep in about your choices, recalling your original dream, motivation, or purpose will help you maintain your faith and stay focused.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
The Bible. Having read the Bible from beginning to end multiple times, I can’t pinpoint a single book that has profoundly influenced my life. My approach to the Bible is different.
Having gone through it so often, I don’t view the chapters as standalone pieces. I also don’t separate the Old and New Testaments in my mind. For instance, when I think about how God works through individuals for His purposes, even when they are reluctant or disobedient, I consider figures like Jonah, Moses, Paul (formerly known as Saul), Matthew, and John the Baptist. They all exemplify this theme, despite belonging to different eras. There are countless other instances that reflect similar ideas.
The same applies to the verses. I draw on specific verses based on my emotional state; at various times, I might seek reassurance, comfort, strength, clarity, or courage, and I find these in different books throughout the Bible.
Until now, I hadn’t really contemplated the significance of individual books. It’s not feasible for me to select just one and adhere to it indefinitely.
Therefore, it’s crucial for me to continually explore all the books.
