Tip 3: Take a good long look at yourself — evaluate what you have done, not what has been done to you

Mike argues that a good annual review requires focusing on what you have done with what you have, not on what has been done to you. He ties this to the idea of fulfilling one's calling. He then references the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3, noting how those churches were shocked by Jesus's assessment of them — they did not see their own spiritual poverty, blindness, and nakedness. This is used as a warning about distorted self-perception.
