potential is almost limitless.

purpose for which you were created.
There are times when that is fulfilling, but
other times it is not.

your destiny.

accomplishment:

Enjoy your successes briefly, and then
move at to greater growth.

improvement lies in developing a
specific plan for growth and following
through with it.

making a person happy, where as self
development purposes to help a person
reach potential. This development costs
