If you want a simple list of areas that you should evaluate in your personal life on a regular basis, here they are:  Your Habits, Your Health, Your Relationships, Your Time, and Your Money.  These are the areas that require consistent self leadership and if neglected eventually make their way into your professional life and effect your ability to perform at your full potential.  You might take some time this week to ask yourself some honest questions about these 5 areas and give yourself a personal evaluation.  If you find an area that needs improvement, identify 3 things you can do in the next 24 hours to start the process of changing.  Finishing well is not automatic and requires self leadership and this is something that no one else can do for you.  Be willing to make whatever changes necessary so that you can experience your full potential.

The following truth is at the very core of all of my coaching; your story is not predetermined!  You and I have the opportunity to respond to what God has entrusted us with including our talents, passions, vision, resources, and opportunities.

You will find yourself becoming more motivated on a daily basis when you make the decision to do a better job of stewarding your one and only life.  This is the very essence of self leadership; stewarding what has been entrusted to you.

The work involved in stewardship is the work that will bring you closer to finishing well.  If by chance you are in a low season of life, consider closing out this chapter, turning the page, and then doing the work required to write a new chapter in your story.

Usually, I can have people moving in a good direction within a few weeks and we always begin by simply listing out where they would like to be in 90 days.  Then, I have them schedule personal development time on a weekly basis to review and refine their 90 day vision. I reviewed mine this morning and found a couple of places that need more attention.  Give it a try!
