The Bracha of Self Knowledge

The Bracha of Yakov to his children is the Bracha of Self Knowledge.  One of the greatest tragedies that can happen is to live our lives without using our potential.  At the end of our lives, it will matter more if we lived up to our potential, then how much we accomplished.  If we do not know what we are capable of , we will not know how much we can do.  It is important to do a real Chesbon Hanefesh and speak to people that we respect who know us to gain an understanding of our true potential.
