To become a thoughtful person, you have to:
- Have the intention to become one.
- Learn to profit from good advice.
- Choose friends that will inspire you to grow.
- Remain humble and dependent upon God.
The empty-headed treat life as a plaything;
the perceptive grasp its meaning and make a go of it.
22 Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail;
take good counsel and watch them succeed.
23 Congenial conversation—what a pleasure!
The right word at the right time—beautiful!
24 Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful—
it’s a clean about-face from descent into hell.
25 God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant;
he stands with those who have no standing.
(Prov.15:21-25 MSG)
Prayer: Give me perception to look for meaning, purpose, and success on what you put in my hand. Make me open and help me to pay attention to counsel and discern a good advice. Help me fight for thoughtfulness and against mediocrity. Help me to cultivate congenial friendships and be nurtured by it. Thank God for standing with me.
