who is the real me?

Where do you spend discretionary funds?

What opens your heart?

Who do you admire?

What closes your heart?

What causes you pain?

Who do you pity?

What do you hate?

What brings you joy?

What do you consistently seek?

What movies do you prefer?

What is the most prominent goal in your life?

What are you ashamed of?

What TV programs do you watch?

How do you want others to see you?

Who are your friends?

What are your secret desires?

Who makes you uncomfortable?

If you have been totally honest in your answers you should have a much clearer picture of who you really are.

Where you go, who you choose to spend time with, and what brings you joy will reveal the kind of person you are. My mom had a saying, "Birds of a feather, flock together." This is a proverb that has been around since the early 16th century. This also emphasizes another saying she had, "you are known by the company you keep." This principle is reinforced in scripture.

Your secret desires, what causes your pain, and who you admire, also reveal much about your natural bent. While things such as what you are ashamed of, and the entertainment you chose say a lot about where you are heading.

Evaluate your current position and monitor your progress. This will help you set clear goals and stay on course. Don't let the enemy lure you off your course. You are not here to be seen or admired. You are here to make a difference.
