DEEPENING
OURSELVES

Topics: Maturity; Meaning; Planning; Purpose; Understanding; Wisdom

References: Ecclesiastes 12:13–14; Philippians 2:12–13

Unless the distant goals of meaning, greatness, and destiny are addressed, we can’t make an intelligent decision about what to do tomorrow morning—much less set strategy for a company or for a human life.

Nothing is more practical than for people to deepen themselves. The more you understand the human condition, the more effective you are as a businessperson. Human depth makes business sense.

—Peter Koestenbaum, Fast Company (March 2000)
