Medaling in Life
Yvette has been following the Olympics and occasionally updating me on results and medal counts, when I will listen. This got me to thinking about whether I would medal in certain areas of my life. After giving it some thought, here are my results.
Myself – Bronze Medal: While I have lost over 30 pounds in the last year and have kept the weight off for the last six months, there are areas where I am falling behind. For example, I keep telling myself that I need to take my GRE and register for Graduate school; however, here it is almost 5 years after getting my Bachelors degree and I am still not back into school.
Marriage – Silver Medal: I am doing a great job. Yvette and I are a team. She loads the dishwasher and I unload. But in other areas, I could be a better husband. As Yvette will say, our marriage is great, but not perfect. That leaves us something to strive towards.
Spiritual – Did Not Medal: This is the area of my life where I am really falling behind. As much as I want God to be a part of my life, he is not first in my decisions. That’s not to say I am not a good person. I have tried to read the bible in a year, but as soon as I hit a dry section, I stop. I have been away from the church for over a year. In another post, I hope to write about my ideal church.
Work – Bronze Medal: While I am doing my best as an individual, I need to step up my game when it comes to motivating my employees and getting them to perform at their very best.
There are no gold medals this time around. How would you medal if you evaluated yourself?
