Tell Me What Matters Most …

Thanksgiving is coming up in America and Canada. I think of it as a time
for reflection. I’ve made a concerted effort to bring more balance
into my life and work. So now it’s time to give myself a report card to see
how I really did.

How about you? What’s important in your life? Ready to find out? Here’s a
little exercise I’m taking with me as a conversation starter over turkey
dinner this Thursday.

As Stephen Covey says, clarify what is most important in your life. Decide
what is most worthwhile to you. Knowing what is most valuable to you
gives you direction in life. Rank each in order from 1-10 (1 being least
important and 10 being most important).

• Career
• Health
• Home
• Family
• Spirituality
• Finances
• Leisure
• Learning
• Creativity
• Communication

This should give you a fair assessment of what your priorities are and
where you want to be. Now what are you most grateful for? Make a list of
10 things and write them down. Finally don’t forget how far you’ve
come. Make a list of 10 of your proudest accomplishments for this
year.

Remember, we all have the same 24 hours. Some of us feel as though we
have no time at all. While others manage to get their work done and still
have enough time left over to enjoy themselves. Me? I’m a work in
progress. Sometimes I get it right. Sometimes I don’t. But I’m always
trying, doing the best I can. Happy Thanksgiving!
