Give or take a few days, we’re about halfway through the year right now. Pretty crazy how fast it flies by, huh?
So now is as good of a time as any to evaluate how things are going for you, where you’re at, and where you’re going.
If you’ve ever played sports, you know halftime is that opportunity to figure out what worked in the first half and improve on what didn’t work. You have the same opportunity with your life in 2009.
Regardless of whether you’re doing well or have fallen off the wagon, here are some key questions to get you on track for the second half of 2009…
- What’s Working? – Hopefully you’ve been doing something right so far in 2009! Not only are you looking for areas to improve in, but you also need some “atta-boys” of where you’ve been successful. What are the areas in your life that you’ve really been solid in?
- What Do I Want To Accomplish By December 31? – Goals don’t just magically happen. You have to be proactive in working towards accomplishing them. If you know what you want your life to look like on December 31 of this year, you can work backwards to figure out how to accomplish it.
- What Regrets Do I Have? – Great leaders (and smart people in general) learn from their mistakes. Regrets can either be mistakes of things you did that you wish you hadn’t done, or things you didn’t do that you wish you had done. Live with none of the above.
- What Do I Do For Fun? – Life is too short just to go and go and go and then fall over and die. What gives you life? Besides breathing. What hobbies or passions do you have that give you energy?
- What Matters Most To Me? – How can you set any goals or make any adjustments in your life if you don’t know what matters most? Write down your top 3 priorities and adjust how your time is spent according to these items.
