Would you like to be more comfortable with yourself? How's your self esteem? Do you constantly compare yourself with others? Do you compete with other people who you think are better than you? Do you try to be someone your not? Do you act differently depending on who you are with? Do you wear masks and pretend to be someone you're not?

As you understand yourself more, as you identify how God wired you, as you learn more about your gifts, talents and abilities, you won't have to compete with others and you can run your race in your lane and be more effective.

Check out this message on "Being comfortable with who you are" as I share 5 tips to help you on your journey.

We are encouraging our participants to take advantage of self assessments to know yourselves better. God made you the way you are on purpose and for a purpose. You don't have to compete or compare yourself with others. Isn't that freeing?

Feedback is a gift.

Ask someone you trust for feedback. Ask them, "What's it like to be on the other side of me?" Don't be defensive, just listen. You don't have to accept all feedback but if it's from a trustworthy source, it's worth evaluating if it's an area you need to work on. You'll also learn what you do well and reinforce your positive behavior.
