Summary

There is a valuable question we should all answer from time to time. The question is simply, “Who am I?” “Who am I?” should be addressed from time to time because the complete answer changes as you change, and one way or the other, you are always changing. Getting a fix on who you and where you are is essential to staying on course. How you view yourself and getting a fix on who you really are, may be more important than where you are. Those few who have a clear definition and vision of who they are, are more settled and usually accomplish more. If you see yourself as you really are, you will be humble. Humility is the condition of the human spirit when presently aware of who you are and who God is. It is to recognize the gap, recognize your weakness and absolute dependence on God for every good thing, including breath and the beat of your heart. Joseph Smith said: “There are but a very few beings in the world who understand rightly the character of God…If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.”

1:22.6	Who am I?
1:25.6	My name is Larry Corbridge and this is episode 17 of the Stand Forever series.
1:33.2	To chart your course in life, you must know where you want to go, that's point B, and
1:38.7	then get a fix on where you are, point A.
1:43.5	Only then can you chart a course in between the two. And again,
1:48.0	what is point B? What is the destination? Life is about getting to the end, getting to the

2:03.6	life, and helping others do the same.
