The Starting Point

If you plan to go somewhere, you must begin by knowing where you are.  If you want to become a successful person, you begin with having an accurate understanding of who you are.  It is absolutely necessary that you ask yourself some honest, tough questions to be sure you have a correct assessment of your talents, abilities, and the things you do well and those you don't.  Sadly, many people won't address these issues nor ask themselves hard questions.  Some even live in a fantasyland of dreams and in a life of self deception.  Many pretend to be something they are not while others simply accept their current condition and make no effort to change.

Today there are numerous aids available to assist a person who wants to better know himself.  Growing in our understanding of how God made us is, in itself, part of what I believe success is all about.  As we progress in the apprehension of this knowledge, it provides us with the goal of becoming all that we were meant to be.  Find where you are so you can move to where you were made to be.
