It all started as I looked for a moment of quiet, just me and a cigar on my porch late one rainy night....

Who Am I?

I am a father
I am a christ follower
I am an apostle
I am a leader
I am a husband

To be true to myself and be the best 'me' - My goal is to be the best husband, father, christian, leader, apostle I can be.

My biggest roadblock or distraction could be a desire for material possessions... ...which is in complete contrast with who I am or who I want to be (as detailed above).

Perhaps some of what I considered above are really my core competancies:
Leadership Skills
Apostolic Annointing

Then I use these talents to achieve my goals of being a great father and husband and a dedicated christ follower.

Now if so much of my current struggle is my business verses my current job verses potential future jobs this is completely external to my family or christian life and yet is so personally all-consuming.

If my real identity and life purpose is not at all or not directly related to my current personal turmoil then I am in fact in crisis. Based on the fact my focus is completely redirected away from what it is to 'me'.

A person in crisis, not being true to himself is actually not going to achieve full potential in any area. For the conflict is within and any battle external to the root issue is just a cosmetic attempt to coverup or distract.

The answer then is not to list the top ten issues or outstanding tasks but it is to create a new list made by 'me' in my true self.

A list not of things un-done but of things yet to be done.

It is with this positive drive that one's true potential can be tapped and is the required catalyst to take 'me' from crisis to completion.

It almost seems like it may have more general applicability...

Take a situation that seems negative, impossible, has issues or problems. Create true identity and vision. Plan action based on the future potential and vision not bound by the conflict of the past.

Ah those sweet moments of serendipity....
