Who or what has shaped your identity? Did you cultivate it yourself, or did someone else choose to prune you to grow in a particular direction? Often, this pruning happens unintentionally and is the product of the environment in which we live. You have to nurture your own growth in the direction of your own Meaningful Mission, or it will flow wherever other people take it.

If you hold a clear image of your ideal self as your North Star, you will make incremental life changes that will bring you closer to the meaningful success that you find fulfilling.

Remember, no one has ever achieved anything truly great without going through extreme adversity.
