Human beings are the greatest of all creations. You and I are blessed to be on our journey through life on this beautiful planet.
We don’t get to choose everything, but we do get to choose how we will respond to everything life throws at us–or offers to us.
To maximize our time on the earth, we need to understand our identity–who we are and why we are here.
Alex Haley, the author of Roots, said that in each of us there is a “deep hunger, marrow-deep, to discover our heritage, to know who we are and where we came from.”
We started Ancestry.com in 1996/7 so more people could discover their family stories. Much of our identity and resilience comes from deeply knowing and appreciating our ancestors–and what they did to get us here.
Another part of our individual identity is our natural talents. Gallup invited me to evangelize the global strengths movement for nearly 5 years. I soaked up the teachings of Dr. Don Clifton, the father of strengths psychology and grandfather of positive psychology, and met great people who were taught and trained by him.
