Live your life your way

Time

Half the year has gone, it’s time to Review, Celebrate, Plan & Do!

by

julyMonday July 1st signalled the beginning of the second half of 2013, and if, like me, you’ve not only set goals, but also set milestones for your progress, then this date is very significant.  Obviously, being the half way point of the year, it allows us to take a sensible measure of how far we’ve advanced against our goals, and then to consider our plans for the next six months.

Alternatively, if you haven’t set any goals, then the half way point of the year is a good time to take stock of how your life has progressed during this period and to select a few meaningful goals so that the second half of the year brings deliberate direction to your life.

To start the process, it’s best to look back over the previous six months and review our progress so far.  This is relevant whether we’ve set goals or not, because even if we haven’t set goals, we will have progressed, albeit in an unplanned direction.  So what should we be looking for?

DandelionTime is amorphous and unique.  We can’t capture or hold it and it’s the one resource that we can’t get any more of.  But one way or another, it affects us all.  Whatever our life choices, time will force difficult decisions upon us about how and where to spend it.  Sometimes our decisions will feel in absolute alignment with who we are or want to be, other times there will be a complete disconnect and we will feel unhappiness, resentment and confusion about our choices and the time spent on them.

In modern culture, we view ourselves as always trying to save time, or trying to fit multiple tasks into the day.  We’re busy getting on with our lives and sometimes it might feel that there’s far too much to do.  The mantra of ‘work hard, play hard’ is common, and it’s not unusual for us to put our personal lives on hold while we attempt to make our mark in the workplace or see to the needs of the family before our own.

But is there a price to pay for this hurried way of life, and is there a better way?  You will recall from my very first post Are You Successful?, that I believe that everyone should live their life by their own standards and not those of others, and for me this belief extends to how we use our time.
