I recently celebrated my birthday and of
course, I tried to recap my life in the previous 365 days to see what I had
accomplished and whether or not that met up with my expectations.
What
I have learned over the years is that your life now is a sum total of all your
past decisions. If you don’t like your life, you have to make new decisions.
Family (my own/my parents/my siblings/my
nephews/my in-laws)
Health
(physical/emotional/spiritual/financial)
Career
Personal Growth
Marriage
Rather than give myself a grade or points I
think about them all and how I’ve done in the past year. Keep in mind that many
times one value is prioritized over another at different points in your life.
So for example, this past year I get full points for Family (because I
delivered my son!) but my career did have to go on ‘hold’ if you will as I was
on maternity leave for most of the past year. That’s life. At different times
in our lives, different values will trump each other depending on
circumstances, environment, people…different stimuli really.
