ASSESSMENT OF A BETTER YOU

In the last 11 days of the New Year many people have asked themselves how can I do better. What am I going to focus on this year that will help me have a more challenging and productive life? I want to share with you that a better you has always been available. The true question is will you let that person out.

In order to see the new you there are five simple things that you are going to have to evaluate about yourself. This can be a simple or very complicated exercise depending on how honest you are willing to be with yourself. The first step is to sit back and meditate on who you think you are. The second step is to write down your best attributes, then your worst. The third step is to ask at least five of your friends what they see your best and worst attributes are without having to worry about any drama.

Check to see if there are any attributes that have been duplicated among the answers you have collected including yours. After you have evaluated the top five in each category set out in your mind that you will work on each attribute daily. That was the easy part! Now it’s time to make the commitment to yourself that will change your course for the rest of the year.

Evaluate yourself in these five areas and see where you stand. What do you think and what are other people saying about you in these areas. Remember this is a “me” exercise that will only benefit you if you let it. After answering these simply questions make a commitment that you will make a conscious effort to change for the better.

Trustworthiness
Respect
Responsibility
Fairness
Compassion

Trustworthiness
What do people say about your integrity? Are you a promise keeper? Do your words line up with your actions? If you were someone else could you trust yourself?

Respect
How well do treat people, family, friends, and strangers? Do you play well with others? How do you act when no one is looking?

Responsibility
Are you accountable to someone for your actions? Do you take life seriously? Can you say that you are a prudent person?

Fairness
Do you exercise consistency in all that you do and make sure that you avoid favoritism and taking advantage of others?

Compassion
How do you rate your level of kindness, caring, and empathy towards others and the issues of life?
