Getting ready…
If you are like many people, in a week or so you'll be sitting down and writing out your New Years Resolutions. I will be doing something like that too. I like to prepare for that a couple of weeks in advance by considering a couple of questions so that when I sit down to contemplate the new year I've seeded the ground a bit. Here are four questions to ask yourself as you prepare:
QUESTION #1: What am I no longer willing to tolerate or compromise on in my life?
QUESTION #2: What are my basic core beliefs?
QUESTION #3: What specific things do I need to be doing for my behavior to be more aligned with what I truly believe.
QUESTION #4: What would I be willing to give up to have more of what I truly want?
I won't provide many examples because I don't want to limit how you might think about these questions, but Question #2 might require a bit of explanation. For this I try to think about things where my internal thoughts don't seem to match my external behavior. So I might really believe its important to serve in my community, but I never really do. Or do I really believe its important? I mean watching TV is pretty important to, right? Or I might believe that be truly successful at the level I want I'd need to eat a healthy diet, but I eat at McDonalds twice a day, or....what is it for you? And what does it take to begin doing more of what really matters?
Happy New Year!
