Day 160/252 - Monday 24th March

Today I heard this quote:
"Aim high because you never know if you will hit it, Aim low and you will always hit it."
It was a simple statement but it seems to strike a chord with me and I've been thinking about what that could mean to my life. 

I really enjoyed our lecture of an Introduction to Wisdom Literature. Something that really impacted me was the teaching about the meaning of wisdom in the ancient world. In the ancient world if someone had a craft that they were skilled at and they practically put it into action they were considered wise. The definition of wisdom biblically means that you fear the Lord, put your skill into good use and therefore you are wise. 

I just really like this somehow.
