I suppose being half a century young, allows me the privilege to say that I am more and more convinced that the pursuit of intelligence can be fruitless and even deceptive. There, I said it!
Everyone has passion, but we have it for different areas / focus / intensity / way of expressing it. For some, circumstances might have numbed / destroyed the passion.
Diligence is a discipline. Anyone can develop diligence if he / she is willing to discipline oneself.
Passion and diligence shape the depth of the reservoir onto which revelation is poured.
Revelation can be through mentors, books, life experiences, etc. But the architect behind those revelations is God Himself.
So, instead of placing so much effort / energy / emotion to pursuing the illusive intelligence, I am now happy to wait for God’s downloading, as and when He inspires me.
That is how I get my ideas when I design the learning experiences for my clients. I don’t have a mental storehouse and I don’t have a manual to refer to. I have the potent formula made up of passion, diligence and revelation!
