Multiply my value one hundred fold

This week I have been trying to apply a few concepts I learned from "the Disciple-leader conference I went to last Saturday. The first big thing is 1) Finding serendipity, and 2) becoming anti-fragile. These go hand-in-hand with this weeks scroll, "I will multiply my value one hundred fold." What will I do today to multiply my value? I just barely got done doing the dishes for me and my roommates. It's something simple, nothing to brag about, but it increased my value nonetheless. Even the smallest acts are still fuel in the tank. Service is a huge way to multiply your value. We may have just one grain of wheat, and the wheat may be able to be multiplied if planted, but we must never forget who gave us the grain of wheat in the first place. Anything that I have to give was divinely bestowed upon me, so it is my duty and stewardship to multiply it.
I love the example Mandino uses in aiming for the stars by saying: "Never will I be of concern that my goals are too high for is it not better to aim my spear at the moon and strike only an eagle than to aim my spear at the eagle and strike only a rock." If we are really to achieve our potential and our callling, we can't be content with mediocrity. We should set goals that not  only stretch us, but also require is to call upon our mighty creator for assistance. Dang-straight we should aim at the moon again and again.
"I will announce my goals to the world. Yet, never will I proclaim my accomplishments. Anyone who goes around boasting of their accomplishments will not be able to humbly accept any praise. Someone who wallows up on pride doesn't leave any time for continued improvement. The past is the past. We can't let our past actions define us, whether good or bad. What matters is who we have become in the process. If people wish to praise me, I will humbly acknowledge their kindness, but also knowing that I can never do things alone. I am a make-up of the influences God has put into my life. I'm nothing without Him. Only the wise can receive praise with humility.
