1. Don’t feel bad about where you stand currently. It doesn’t matter nearly so much where you fall on the spectrum as the direction you’re moving in.
2. IGNITE is not a competition. The point is not to compare your score with others but to enable you to develop a personalized strategy for moving ahead.
3. Don’t try to rush through IGNITE. Remember that spiritual growth is a process not an event.
