Whole-person is about the entire “me”.  This can probably be defined in many different ways.  For now, I will describe this as personal; professional; spiritual; physical; intellect; husband; and friend.  The “whole” me is a full context picture.

How do I offer my best?  Am I offering my best?  What might be holding me back?  What is my identity?  Do I believe I am a liability or an asset?  Am I an investment or expense?  Am I defined by the accounting office?  Who do I believe I am?

Quotes that caught my attention:  “We manage things without the power to choose, but lead people who do have the power to choose.”  “Leadership is not about control.”

One book that I think of here is “Wild at Heart” by John Eldredge.   From his worldview, one can never offer their best without a connection to God.  To what am I called?  If I offer my best I may be view as “wild” by others.  I may be viewed as one who cannot be controlled.  Yet, it is my best that I chose to give.  In this way I give what God has called me to give.  I do have a variety of roles to play in my life.  Yet I am more than any one of these roles or even the sum of the roles (as if that were possible).

This means I must spend time getting to know the real me.  The “me” that is whole and complete.   What are some ways you do this?  What are your insights and thoughts?
