Don’t wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater. – Mary Manin Morrissey
These Heels that I’m wearing are in the middle of nowhere. Everyone is somewhere (as the saying goes). And, if that is true – where are YOU?
Are you sane? Psychologists tell us that to be sane – we should know who we are, where we are, and why at any given time! Assuming you normally know who you are and where you happen to be; the operative word here is WHY?
Why and how are you spending your time, talent and finances in your personal and business life? What are your goals? What are your priorities? Where is your passion? What are you thinking?? Maybe it’s time to give some thought to what is important in your life.
Prioritize the words health, wealth, ego, spiritual, family/friends, business and any other category you deem as an important part of your world. Once prioritized – ask yourself, “How much time, talent, effort, money, and energy do I spend on those listed as my top three?”
Make a commitment to yourself? Develop a one sentence affirmation: “I promise to spend at least three hours a week on (fill in the blank with at least one of your top priorities).” Outline in your calendar what that time bloc looks like — exercising, reading, communicating with the folks you love, attending a seminar etc. MAKE A DATE WITH YOURSELF – PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR. Keep a record of how you are doing.
One thing is for sure, no matter who you are and where you go, you take yourself with you. You’d better like your own company!
In the play Give It Up! one of the title songs says it all: “Where Am I Now, Now That I’m Here?” (Book by Douglas Carter Bean – lyrics by Lewis Flinn)
Who are you? Where are you? Why?
