If you are going to maximize your potential you are going to have to be willing to take a moment to assess what you're working with. I recently read an article by Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church. The objective of the article was to encourage leaders to "Think inside the box." What he was suggesting was that you should consider what you have before you assume that you need what you don't.
Take an honest look at what you have in your hands and consider what could help you as well as what could hinder your progress. A great way to do this is to complete a SWOT analysis on yourself. "What is that", you ask? That's when you reflect on your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. This could be a series by itself but the aim of this exercise is to help you to stop sleep walking through life and make the most of where you are.
If you use what you have where you are it can help you to get where you're going but if you fail to assess your surroundings you'll miss the jewels that are present in your everyday life. This week don't just look ahead, look around!
