Understand Yourself

Stay HUMBLE! Stay HUNGRY! Stay TEACHABLE! PRAY without ceasing! Go DEEPER in the things of God! Study yourself to death and pray yourself back to life!
This is the advice I give people regularly. It’s amazing what we can do when we take the time to apply information we are taught.
It should be your goal to understand yourself to the fullest on your journey to maximizing your potential. Gaining a better understanding of how you became who you are today can be a wondrous journey of self-discovery. I truly believe it’s the difference maker to those who create a life they don’t need to take a vacation from. 
If you want to live life effectively…- Dive into your different personalities.- Study like a philosopher.- Train like an athlete.- Conduct yourself like a businessman or businesswoman.
You need to figure out what motivates you.  So many people are wasting time not realizing who they are at the very core and that is unfortunate.
Here are 10 questions to get you started on your “core” search.  Each answer will shed light on your individuality and unlock your potential:
1. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?2. What are the top five words that describe your personality?3. Are you comfortable or uncomfortable in a disorganized environment?4. Are you comfortable with taking risks?5. Do you work better alone or in a busy environment?6. What are your strengths?7. What are your weaknesses?8. What sets you apart from everyone else?9. Are you motivated by competition?
10. What are your favorite movies/shows/books?
Were you able to answer all of the questions or are there some you need to give some thought to?   If you were unsure about any of these questions, consider getting alone and take some time to understand yourself.  It’s the only way you’ll be able to take full control of your life. Focus on you, study you, know you better than anyone else!
This week, I want you to observe what makes you happy, what excites you, what makes you want to get out of bed in the morning and what makes you feel fulfilled.
Focus on doing the things in life that you’re seriously excited about. Don’t just read these questions. Meditate on them and search out the answers. Take time to really know yourself as you embark on getting the most out of this month and ending the year strong. 
If you are to understand something, you must not compare it with something else. You must study it by itself.  When you understand it, you must not judge or condemn or identify yourself with it.  Be content to know you understand yourself.
