Beginning in the late 60s and early 70s, people began talking about "finding
themselves," meaning that they were searching for a way to become self-fulfilled. It's like making "happiness" your goal, because self-fulfillment is about feeling good.
But, what is really needed to reach God's given vision and dreams is self-development. Self-development is different from self-fulfillment. Sure, much of the time self-development will make you feel good, but that's a by-product, not the goal. Self-development is a higher calling: it is the development of our potential so that we can fulfill the purpose for which we were created. There are times when that's fulfilling, but other times it's not. But no matter how it makes us feel, self-development always has one effect: It draws us toward our God-given destiny.
As Rabbi Samuel M. Silver said, "The greatest of all miracles is that we need not be tomorrow what we are today, but we can improve if we make use of the potential implanted in us by God. " Think about how that line-of-thinking applies not only to your personal goals, but also to the goals for your marriage and family.
If you want real change, start with self development and self fulfillment will be come.
What do you think? Let me hear from you.
Your for a divine marriage,
