Your personal history often creates barriers to your effectiveness as a communicator. How do you overcome those past experiences that seem to chain up your personality and so often hold you back from being completely free to express yourself and be content with YOU?

What kind of personality do you have? How much baggage holds you back?

(01:45) Each one of us needs to be good at Self-Assessment. We have a tendency to be hypercritical when we self-evaluate. (02:50). There is a plethora of personality tests that claim to help us uncover the mysteries of who we truly are. But there's a big danger in their misuse. (03:42)

One thing will never change: change happens throughout our lives. You are also a little bit of each type of personality trait. (05:15) Learn to stretch yourself. (06:00)

(06:28) Jordan B Peterson challenges us to always have an area of chaos in our lives that is stretching us. The Bible is a record of men and women in the throes of change. Embrace change in your life.

Joel toured the world on stages with the likes of Billy Graham the evangelist. He never envisioned those experiences as a young man. No one knows when they will be asked to take a platform.

Always be seeking a certain amount of chaos in your life; step into areas of discomfort to keep you on the edge of personal development. (09:24)
