DILIGENCE
“Do you see a man diligent in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”
— Prov 22:29 (NKJV)
The verse above is not necessarily talking about hustling.
Diligence therein talks about ability to align with the principles and secrets that guarantees success.
Diligence is wisdom.
Diligence is not just about running Helter skelter.
Diligence is first a mental work.
Just because you are working doesn't mean that you are diligent.
Diligence is a state of applying yourself to the principles that guarantee results.
Diligence is similar to smartness.
Diligence is applying yourself to the principles that work not just working.
Diligence is making due understudy before embarking on a thing.
You're working to make money but do you know the principles of making and multiplying money?
Sweating under the sun may not mean that you are diligent. You can be ignorantly hardworking.
