“Where are you?” by Paul Wilson, Jr.

Have you ever been in the mall and had to use the directory to see how to get to your desired store? After looking all over the sitemap, you see a big colored arrow jumping at you, almost shouting, “You are here!” However, after initially looking at the “You are here” sign, you are still a little confused, because you don’t know exactly where “here” is. You have to look a bit longer to identify the stores and other things near you to be confident you can move in the right direction from “here” to where you want to go.

I’m sure most of us have done that. The interesting thing about those sitemaps and our lives is that “You are here” means nothing if you don’t know where “here” is.

If I asked you the question “Where are you?” as it relates to your station in life and not your geographic location, what would you say?

“Where are you?” is a difficult question that needs to be answered by every person who aspires to achieve great things. It has internal and external implications, because it demands answers from you in terms of your mental, emotional, relational, spiritual, physical and financial conditions.

How can you “do you” if you don’t really know you?

Your ability to answer difficult questions about yourself reveals how well you really know yourself. See how quickly you can answer the following questions:
- How would you define yourself without your relationships, job title, or educational degree?
- What is your personal mission statement?
- How do you assess your overall progress in life?
- What do you want said about after you die?
- What do you want to be your ultimate contribution in life?

The more easily you can answer these questions the better you know yourself. If it was hard for you to answer, that probably means you have some more studying to do – of yourself!

Most people equate busyness with success. They rush through life towards goals and dreams without ever intentionally stopping and assessing if all the activities they engage in are really contributing toward a meaningful and lasting purpose.

A life of significance doesn’t happen by accident. Legacies that positively impact multiple generations are not typically created by people who stumble upon them.
Take some time today to pause and consider who you really are and if what you’re doing is truly worthwhile. Ask yourself the hard questions. You might be surprised what your answers tell you.
