Personal DevelopmentWhen I look at a carpenters hammer I know it has been designed to do a particular job. The person who designed the hammer had a specific function in mind. They can be used to drive nails, bend nails, pull nails and hurt fingers. If you try and use a hammer as a screw driver you will find it is a poor screwdriver but a great hammer for driving nails. People are also designed on purpose by their creator to perform to specification. High-Octane Living is all about helping your in your personal development to be the person God designed you to be and therefore fulfilling your purpose just as King David did in his generation. Understand Design and Purpose Design and purpose are intimately related. The impact of design on
an automobile is easy to see. The impact of the Creators design in each of us
is not as obvious. With knowledge of design and understanding of purpose
parents have the foundation to give wise guidance to their child.
What were your children designed for? What are they
capable of doing? What unknown talents, passions, and traits do they possess
which would empower them to have a profound impact on their fellow brethren?
Will they become the next Einstein? Or maybe the first astronaut to land on
Mars? Or how about a great Statesman who brings peace between two war-torn
countries. How about a true craftsman that brings joy to all he touches, or a
highly skilled technician that helps keep your car safe on the road? The
capacity for High-Octane children is there if you learn to spot it early on
when you give your child a careful test drive. While we were yet in
our mothers womb, God designed certain capacities and capabilities into
each of us. Understanding and assisting your child where they excel in life
will help give them a much better chance of performing to Gods
specifications. He who cherishes a beautiful ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. It is one of the great tragedies of our times that so many of our
young people have no sense of why they are here. Without a feeling of personal
worth and self-significance, many teens become depressed and suicidal. Much of
the drug abuse in our culture can be directly related to depression. Experts
agree. The most common reason people abuse drugs are to get
high. Adolescents can become involved in experimentation with drugs.
However, only a small percentage of people who experiment with drugs become
drug abusers. The desire to get high may be from an underlying
disease such as depression. It may also come from the pressures of coping with
school, work, or family tensions.[1] Taken from my book "Raising High-Octane Kids" Life CoachingPeople in our society are obsessed with discovering their personal significance in the world. When each one of us finds significance in life it motivates us to become high achievers. However, the lack of personal significance is cited as one of the leading causes of depression, suicide and personal regret. Left to chance, people in increasing numbers do not find their way and in fact end up in the wrong career, wrong marriage, or even worse end up as a suicide statistic.Personal GrowthOnce High Octane Living has helped a person develop his or her "Created Profile" they will begin to see personal growth as the start living life on purpose, God's purpose. People have the ability to know how they have been designed; to understand what they are capable of and how to map out the future God made them for. Left on its own personal growth typically takes the path of least resistance. This sort of personal growth is not God's plan, it is no plan at all. God's plan is for us to live out the purpose He designed us for.Personal CoachingPersonal coaching services include the testing of teens and adults to develop their "created profile". Once your profile is developed personal coaches can help people understand the results of the tests and guide them through the process of planning their High-Octane Life utilizing High-Octane V3 system.Professional Growth and Choosing a CareerHigh Octane Living is about personal development, professional growth and choosing a career. High-Octane Living is achieved by living life the way God has designed every one of us to live. Living life based upon how God designed us instead of the path of least resistance. It is a life of fulfillment directed by God's plan for our lives instead of a life directed by choices made in the absence of knowledge, understanding and wisdom.Spiritual Gift Test and Spiritual Gift InventoryWe are often asked about spiritual gift tests and spiritual gift inventory tests. These tests are valuable tools which can help you understand your interests and how God is working in your life. Spiritual gift tests and spiritual gift inventory test results change in time so you should take them periodically.Spiritual GuidanceOur spiritual guidance needs to come from God Himself, and more specifically through His revelation to us which is primarily the Holy Bible as delivered to us by the Holy Spirit. Pastors, teachers and others are used of God to assist us in understanding God's word but they must be tested to see if they are of God. Spiritual guidance can be the most important and the most dangerous type of guidance you can get. The only protection any of us has against false spiritual guidance is the Holy Bible itself. We are all ultimately responsible to God for how we deal with His Son, His Word and His testimony to us in the creation.If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your personal savior, I urge you to do so right now, wherever you are. To receive Christ you must confess that you are a sinner, ( a person that does wrong) ask for forgiveness, repent (or turn away from sin) believe that Jesus is God sent as God's only Son, ask Jesus to come into your life and trust Him and you will be saved. If you have prayed this to God the next step is to find a Church, a bible believing Church, one that teaches that Jesus is God, not just the Son of God but God. This issue is at the core of Christianity and separates cults from true Christian churches. They must preach that the Son of God is God.
