Achieving a life of Purpose and Influence

As you look at each statement, determine the degree to which you focus on it, i.e. the degree to which it is on your radar screen and it is true of you.  Most of us rate ourselves higher than others. 




Take this into consideration as you respond to each statement. Be bluntly honest with yourself. 
1 – Strongly disagree  
2 – Disagree  
3 – Uncertain                        
4 – Agree

5 – Strongly agree

This season of my life right now is packed with fun, growth, and fulfillment.

 I find myself thinking about something that would bring more excitement and adventure into my life.
20
I feel trapped - I’m stuck in a career that pays really well but is unfulfilling. I spend most of my time on things that don’t really matter.
21
I am in mid-life panic - I’ve spent my whole life getting good at this one thing, but I wonder if there’s something else I was created to do, and I might miss it. Time is slipping by.
22
I’ve lost my platform.
23
I am finding myself living a disintegrating life

29
I have had a growing sense that there is a new calling in this next season, and I need to take time to listen, and then develop a plan to live it out.
30
I’m comfortable - From my perspective life is good the way it is, so don’t mess with it.
31
I have not taken the time to really get close to God personally, much less understand what He has in mind for me in this life.
32
 In the light of my unique design I know what is my  highest and best” contribution in advancing the cause of Christ on this earth
33
I am not  wrestling with anything in this season of  my life
34
My personal mission statement says what, in the end, I want to be remembered for.
35
My personal mission statement is dynamic.
36
My personal mission statement articulates what I believe God is calling me to do and it assists me in making life choices in alignment with my mission.
37
My passion remains buried as unfortunately, the challenges and busyness of life have hindered me from identifying the burdens and passion(s) that God has put on my heart.
38
Passion is the fuel of my life. It is the great source of my energy and drive. I am fully aware of my deepest inner drives and motivations.
39
I have clear understanding of my God-ordained, distinctive contribution.
40
I am living and achieving a life of purpose and influence
