“The greatest waste in our society is in man himself, which is the consequence of man’s failure to appropriate his powers. The sleeping giant lies within each individual – all that is needed is to awake him… There is nothing that makes man strong except that which he carries on the inside of himself. As man cultivates the finer qualities, it is then that he makes the most of life and becomes great and happy, strong and successful” (Making The Most Of Life, Brownlow, p. 5).

•  Our failure to take responsibility is an epidemic, all the way from culture to the individual. Potential is stifled every time we put the blame on somebody else – it is like an opportunity lost!

•  Everything – from learning a new skill or hobby, to financial management, to cultivating relationships, to owning up to sin – is ruined when It’s always “someone else’s fault!”

•  Philippians 3:13-14, 1 Corinthians 9:22-27

•  What do you aim to be?
