“…that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” - Philippians 3:10
The person you spend the most time with is you, so we tend to be pretty interested in ourselves. I ask you: Do you really like yourself? Would you rather be somebody else? Are you realistic about your strengths and weaknesses?
Socrates gets credit for saying, “Know thyself,” even though what he really said, was, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” Either way, the message is clear. Knowing ourselves is a key to the meaningful life.
Let me go a step further. Since God is your Creator and He knows you better than anyone, why don’t you get to know God personally and then you’ll get to know yourself - the real you - better than you ever could on your own. God gives us the way to know Him through Jesus and His Word. If you get to know Him, you’ll come to know yourself and why you’re here. You’ll be on the road to a very meaningful life.

Yes, report it NevermindPeople are so shallow today. Examine their life? Heck, they're to busy trying to "have fun" and chasing the stuff they think will make them happy.
Solomon, in the Book of Ecclesiastes, "examined his life". His conclusion was the same as Bryant's in today's message. There is really only one thing that truly matters. To love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength, and to seek to obey his will for you.
Drink from the water that will never leave you thirsty.
