Success Guru, Brian Tracey writes, “Life is a journey. And as with any
other journey, you have to do more than just think happy thoughts about
where you want to go. You need clear goals, plans, and schedules to get
from wherever you are today to wherever you want to be in the future.
Like any good pilot, you need a flight plan that you file before you
begin and that you use to guide you on your way.”

Purpose Journey, people use DISC to discover their personality. That

warm and relational, or perhaps perfectionistic. They achieve a
measure of freedom because they now know they were designed differently
from others, that they don’t have to be like everyone else, and can
embrace and enjoy their uniqueness.

Step One: Discover Your Personality
The first step in understanding who you are is to understand your personality. People have been trying to understand what makes us different from one another since before the time of Christ.

He held that a person's personality was based on the balance of bodily humours; yellow bile, black bile, phlegm and blood. He meant well, but ended up being very wrong. Since then many other physicians and scientists have studied the emotions, attitudes, and behavior that motivate people.
There are many good tools available for identifying personality. The Enneagram Personality Tests divides the human race into nine behaviors. Myers-Briggs identifies our uniqueness by focusing on four dichotomies. The one I recommend, because it is the most widely used method, and the one used in the GPS Life Purpose Journey, is the DISC Personality Profile. Disk focuses on four personality components:
