Reading inspirational proverbs of Solomon has always aided me in
difficult times. Whenever I find myself in sticky situations, or
whenever I'm caught between two confusing paths, his wise words often
have the power to clear my head.
Why don't you read and benefit from Solomon's words of wisdom yourself?
Inspirational Proverb of Solomon # 1: “Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than him.”
This particular proverb always reminds me not to get caught up in my own
hype. No matter how much I have accomplished, I dare not think of
myself as the greatest or the wisest of all.
Sure, I like to reward myself for a job well done; but the truth is,
there will always be someone far greater and wiser than myself. And the
moment I start thinking that I am the best is the moment I stop growing.
Don't fall into this trap and keep finding ways to better yourself.
Inspirational Proverb of Solomon # 2: “An iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
This is one of my favorite quotes because it is phrased so wittily. The
way King Solomon uses the word “sharpens” can mean a lot of different
things.
There are times when “sharpens” talks about having a friend who keeps
you in line. Let's be honest. Sometimes, we lose sight of who we are on
the journey to success.
On the other hand, “sharpens” can also mean having a friend to help you
become a better person. Your friends at work, for example, can help you
develop your skills in pitching and presenting ideas.
Inspirational Proverb of Solomon # 3: “Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.”
Some people make fun of those who are kind and nice. Those in the
corporate world are particularly vicious when it comes to getting the
corner office or that impending promotion.
However, this enlightening proverb reminds everyone that while lying,
cheating and basically doing cruel things can get you short-term
success, your acts will destroy you in the long run.
Before you go down that path, think again. At the end of the day, can you really stomach what you're about to do?
These inspirational proverbs of Solomon are as good as gold when it
comes to making your life richer. Don't just limit yourself to reading
them once; read them again and again so that you'll always remember.
