Mike,

This article serves as a wonderful reminder that we need to explore ourselves and figure out who we are before we can make the most of our potential and focus on the things that are important to us. Without perspective, we’ll just be swinging in the dark.

Glad to see that you’re helping people find clarity on this topic! Great article.

Hi Mike, my last post happens to be writing about a very similar topic.

Perspective of who are we doing it for.
One particular insights I learn is about holiness, where we’re not doing it for our own victory, but it’s more to please God. And it’s similar to a lot of our personal development efforts.

Here is the complete article:

Thanks Viriya, I certainly don’t take any offense. That would be quite a contradiction to an article on widening your perspective heh!?

I really appreciate your comments and love getting more discussion from readers. I wish more bloggers would challenge others instead of simply putting “great”, “love your stuff”, or “I like it” as comments. There is value in discussion you don’t get with those types of comments.

So ya, I appreciate your stuff and think you’ve started a great looking blog. I love your book reviews how you break them down into separate ratings. Great idea!

My blog is http://www.tedded.net and my latest post refers directly to you;

I hope you don’t find it offensive because I add something and raise some questions.

Hang on, I’ve just seen your comment in my blog, I’ll read it.

Thank you!

(this is real time here!)

Great article Mike. Those are some great things to think about. I like your quesitons for evaluation.

I love that verse at the end.

I’m doing what I’m doing for the world, God and myself. It drives me, but I still struggle with productivity, so I look forward to the rest of the series and to thinking more about these questions you’ve posed.
