Who am I? This simple question has been asked by people for ages. In the Bible, Psalms 139:13 says that God carefully created each one of us. He formed our innermost being and shaped us even before we were born. But beyond knowing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, we still search for the answer to who we truly are and why we are here.
In this episode of the Leveraging Success Podcast, Rob Dayton and I explore the profound question “Who am I?” by discussing the journey of self-discovery and the importance of understanding one’s purpose and identity. Rob shares his personal experiences and insights, emphasizing the need to align activities with one’s strengths and values. We discuss the ongoing process of growth and the evolution of understanding oneself, the significance of community building, and the impact of leadership.
Remember, the path to understanding who you are is a journey, not a destination. Until next time, may you find clarity, embrace your passions, and God bless you on your quest for a significant life.
