So, be truthful, no matter how much it hurts.

Get to Know More About You

1.  Have I obtained the goal that I established for my objective this past year? (You should work with a definite yearly objective to be obtained as part of your major life objective.)

No, I haven’t.  Well, maybe I have.  I had no clear objective for the past year.  I was just looking for the next best thing.

2.  Have I delivered service of the best possible QUALITY of which I was capable, or could I have improved any part of this service?

For what I was doing last year, there were a lot of improvements I could have made.  My progress on each project was so short lived, because I was not definite in my purpose or plans.

3.  Have I delivered service in the best possible QUANTITY of which I was capable?

No, I could have blogged more and written more.  I could have done so much more.

4.  Has the spirit of my conduct been harmonious and cooperative at all times?

No, I wasn’t at peace with myself or my environment.  That is why I wasn’t definite last year and I am sure there was much chaos.

5.  Have I permitted habit of PROCRASTINATION to decrease my efficiency, and if so, to what extent?

Okay, so this one was major.  The answer is YES!  And to what extent?  Well, I always start projects and never finish them.  I start way too many projects.  I change my mind with the wind.  How is it that I am into personal development again?

6.  Have I improved my PERSONALITY?  And if so, in what ways?

Yes, I have learned to be more sweet and soft.  Since learning that I have been angry, I am working on more ways to see things differently and having a better attitude.

7.  Have I been PERSISTENT in following my plans through to completion?

No.  Not at all.

8.  Have I reached DECISIONS PROMPTLY AND DEFINITELY on all occasions?

NO!!!!!  I have to be clear about that one.

9.  Have I permitted any one or more of the six basic fears to decrease my efficiency?

I believe I have allowed all six fears to plague me.

Fear of poverty:  I hoped for money all year without taking much action.

Fear of criticism:  Sometimes it is hard to write, because I don’t feel qualified.

Fear of Ill-Health:  I have been sick quite a lot these past couple years.  I have had 4 outpatient surgeries!  Not good!

Fear of Loss of Love of Someone:  I was holding this fear that no one would ever love me.  I believe I’m still working on that one.

Fear of Old Age:  I didn’t think I had a problem with this one, but I fear being old and poor and watching my children live the same horrible life.

Fear of Death:  I don’t want to die without leaving my children a legacy of wisdom and finances.

10.  Have I been either “over-cautious” or “under-cautious?”

I haven’t been cautious at all.  Just living on whims.  Sad to admit.
