Hey! How many lives do you have?
If you answered ‘more than 1’, what’s your secret? I’m genuinely curious.
Anyways, if you’re like most people, and have only 1 life…
You want to live your life in the best way possible!
Today, I’ll discuss ACTIONABLE steps to achieving fulfillment. Enjoy :)
Reading time🕰️: 2:00 minutes
1 MINUTE CHALLENGE: Write down something that has been bothering you, then think of one ACTIONABLE step you would take if you could do it right now.
Your Weekly Challenge:
REMINDER: You don’t have to do the challenge! See it as an idea on how to spend your week more productively.
Identify ‘unsatisfying’ behaviors. Each day, take some time to reflect on your day by writing down answers to the following questions:
What did I do today that made my day better?
What did I do today that made my day worse?
You can also add other questions that help you identify the good and bad things in your daily routine.
Your Weekly Inspirational Story:
“While strolling along the bike path with a friend we met a well-fit white-haired man with a marine label on his shirt and hat showing his pride for being a veteran.
His grin went from ear to ear as he said,
‘Hello ladies! It looks like I am going the wrong way. I would turn around and join you but I have many miles to still put in for the day.’
He gained our curiosity and as we urged him to share more, he began explaining how he ran his first marathon after his wife died at 80 years old.
His doctor recently told him after having knee surgery he should let his knee heal and shouldn’t do any more marathons. That was not stopping him.
He could outrun his young Doctor. He had a goal of running in the New Mexico Death Run this year even though eight people had died in that race in years past.
He was proud he would be 86 at the time of the race.
[…]
He had nothing but the look of joy on his face sharing his story with two women on the bike path half his age.
Little did he realize what an inspiration he was to those two women.
No matter the miles, the years, or the sacrifices, remember it is never too late to start running your race.”
!!!- I advise you to write the answers down on paper, as they help you figure out stuff about yourself, which you might find useful later on!
Reflective-thinking question:
-Why do you think the man was so happy in the story? Can being productive perhaps help you achieve the same happiness as his?
-What lessons can you take away from the story?
Critical-thinking questions:
-Do you agree with the last sentence? If so, why or why not?
Your Weekly ‘Food For Thought’ question
What makes you happy?
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Stay productive 💪
