“God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.”
— 1 Peter 4:10 (Living Bible)
The Calling Within
In the Academy of Life Planning, we begin with a simple but profound truth: you were designed on purpose, for a purpose.
The Values Assessment in the GAME Plan helps you uncover who you are—your principles, your drivers, and the essence of your being. But knowing who you are is only half the journey. The next question—the one that gives your life direction—is “Why am I here?”
To answer that, we turn to the Talents Assessment.
Talents: Gifts Entrusted for Service
Talents are not accidents of genetics or outcomes of circumstance; they are divine endowments—gifts from God, entrusted to you to use for His glory and the good of others. As stewards of these gifts, our purpose is to cultivate them, not conceal them; to multiply them, not hoard them.
In the GAME Plan, this is the moment we begin to see your life as an economy of grace. What you have been given—your abilities, insights, experiences, and even your scars—can all be transformed into service.
Each of us has something uniquely powerful to contribute. One may bring the analytical mind that creates clarity from complexity; another, the empathy that restores faith in humanity. The diversity of our talents mirrors “God’s many kinds of blessings”—each expression vital to the whole.
The Human Capital Audit: Seeing Yourself as an Asset
To make this tangible, we conduct a Human Capital Audit.
This is not about financial capital—it’s about recognising you as the most valuable asset in your life plan.
Through this process, you’ll identify the productive assets—your skills, knowledge, relationships, and inner wisdom—that can be leveraged into sustainable livelihoods. We ask questions that reconnect you with your life story:
- Where have I shown resilience and creativity?
- What challenges have I overcome that could now become someone else’s guidance system?
- How might I turn my pain into purpose?
This is where spirituality meets entrepreneurship. Purpose becomes productivity; human potential becomes human capital.
You stop chasing external validation and start creating value from within—building not just wealth, but meaningful work that blesses others and sustains you.
Your Hero’s Journey: Finding the Threads of Meaning
To map your unique path, we trace the Hero’s Journey across five domains:
Family, Education, Vocation, Spirit, and Ministry.
Each domain reveals formative experiences that shaped who you are today. Some moments brought triumph, others deep trial—but all were training for your purpose.
The GAME Plan helps you recognise these experiences not as random events, but as stages in your preparation. You begin to see that your story has structure, your struggles have meaning, and your life has momentum.
Like Joseph rising from the pit to the palace, or Ruth journeying from loss to legacy, your past is not a liability—it’s the curriculum of your calling.
The Ministry of Experience: Healing Through What Hurt You
Pain is often our most faithful teacher.
As 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT) reminds us:
“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
This verse transforms our understanding of suffering. Every hardship, once redeemed, becomes a ministry—a way to guide and comfort others walking similar paths.
In the GAME Plan, we teach that your wounds can become your wisdom.
The places you were once broken are precisely where you will carry the greatest light. When you integrate your experiences through reflection, compassion, and purpose, you turn pain into power—and isolation into service.
The Economics of Purpose
In the world’s economy, wealth is measured by accumulation.
In the divine economy, wealth is measured by contribution.
The GAME Plan bridges the two—turning spiritual principle into practical livelihood.
By identifying, aligning, and activating your talents, you create enterprises that sustain both body and spirit. Whether that takes the form of a business, a community initiative, or a creative project, your work becomes worship in action—a visible expression of your inner calling.
When you use your talents in service, you become a vessel for something greater: the flow of creation itself. You join the universal cycle of giving and receiving—Goals, Actions, Means, Execution—the very rhythm by which intention becomes form and spirit becomes life.
The Gift of Alignment
When you align your values (who you are) with your talents (why you are here), something miraculous happens:
You stop striving and start serving.
Your work stops feeling like labour and becomes legacy.
You move from survival to significance.
And in doing so, you reflect the Creator’s design—living proof that life planning, when done with spirit and integrity, is not about making a living but about making a life.
đź”” Reflection for Readers
Take a quiet moment today to ask yourself:
“What has God placed in me that the world needs through me?”
Write down your answers. These are your seeds of service—the clues to why you are here.
