Growth means application. Every human being wants to grow in every way possible. It’s not only a person’s want but as well need. Without growth one perishes.
To grow one must constantly apply. All through the recorded history men and women who were enormously successful were all enormous “Applicators”!
They just didn’t stagnate in one place nor just had wishful thinking which is nothing but hoping that things would turn out their way!!
Now what does “application” indicate or mean here?
It means applying things that you know or have inside you.
Figuring out solutions to challenges is one form of applying your potential, your knowledge, your skills and whatever you possess so that you grow to the next level as well as find a way for your problem.
Wright brothers did exactly that when they invented airplane. They had known that there were laws that would enable humans to fly with the help of their aircraft. But then, they also applied:
1. What they knew (the knowledge they possessed)
2. What they were (their character trait which was comprised of persistence, hard work, etc)
And these coupled with their constant action and probing and exploring brought them success!
So, now let’s take a journey of revelation and capture what these great “Applicators” do:
Exploration is application:
Yes exploration is application. One got to keep searching for new alternatives and innovative answers if he/she wants to become better and that becomes when one grows! So on a daily basis just keep exploring for new possibilities. This is exactly what successful people do all the time!
And it is when they are immersed in this act they are typically labeled as “Weirds” or “Odds” but the truth is they always fight against all odds and win the battle with a will of steel! Now you too can when you start exploring for new possibilities in yourself!!
Learning and application:
Whatever new things that go into the mind of the people who are successful would return as “elegant acts” immediately. This means when they learn from a mistake the very next time they either avoid things that they shouldn’t do or they never forget to do things that they must do, in order to succeed.
This also means that when they learn a new skill pertaining to their job, they right away start applying the skills and try to become more productive.
The law “knowledge is potential power” is an integral part of this philosophy of “Application”.
Apply whatever you have at your disposal to achieve your goal(s).
3. Character too is application:
Greatness calls for character and character is nothing but application of time-tested success values in our daily life.
Men and women of greatness and high degree of success have their great values in active mode! They act on these values and exhibit themselves as an embodiment of these values!
So, first see how your character has been molded so far in your life.. If it’s not what you want, you can always change for you can always choose—you can choose your character and hence your actions and therefore your destiny!!
The higher you go the better “applicator” you must become and in fact the better applicator you become the higher you’d go!
Now, what’s the difference between the world that existed 200 years back and the world that we see today?
It’s APPLICATION!!
People applied laws that had always existed and discovered or invented new things or innovated so that life would become more entertaining, convenient, and luxury.
To scale great heights you must use up all that you have got through the law of “application” which would invariably expand your container and fill you with more powers than you had before. People of the highest calibers are always pushing themselves and that’s why they grow. By “pushing” they are applying the law of application and through this law they grow and their growth allows them to receive more!!
We use an applicator to apply a substance, more often to cure something or to mitigate something. In your life you are your own applicator—you cure you own circumstance!!
The first lap starts from your mind and the way you see things. When you see everyday as an opportunity to apply what you have, you can rest assured that you will see the light anytime sooner!!
