Show notesToday we explore insights into how 'power laws', often applied to investing in companies, are also applicable to personal virtues. Josh encourages investing one's time, action, and energy into cultivating virtues such as honesty, courage, love, and service. Comparing the virtues' growth to a company's growth over time, Josh suggests that the returns may not be immediately obvious but will yield significant results in the long run. You are invited to surrender to God, equating this to the ultimate investment. This analogy is reinforced with biblical quotes from Matthew 13 and the idea of virtue as a hidden treasure. Finally, the listener is invited to reflect on their own path to virtue and areas they need to address.00:00 Introduction to Power Laws of Virtue00:05 Investing in Companies and Power Laws00:41 Applying Power Laws to Virtues01:11 Investing in Virtue: A Comparison with Company Investment01:42 The Power of Law Growth of Virtue02:25 The Importance of Virtues in Life02:43 Biblical References to Virtue and Investment04:00 Reflection Questions on Virtue and Investment04:28 Conclusion: Entrust Yourself to GodAbout Josh Kalsbeek, LMFT• As a Psychoherapist I help people overcome their greatest struggles.•Founder and CEO of Great Oaks Collective, and it's flagship program Overcome, a 10-Week virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for Christian couples experiencing sexual betrayal and addiction. www.greatoakscollective.com. • Sign up to receive my weekly email newsletter, Words of Wisdom. ​---LinksJesus, ​Matthew 13:45-46​Jean Calvin, ​Institutes of the Christian Religion​Who are you becoming?Strongholds​In case you missed it, if you're hoping to live a more purpose-filled life, I have a 10 post series on ​Meaningful Action​.
