I’m trying to formulate my personal rules for success … the principles that I think will make me “successful” given what I know of my personality (strengths and weaknesses).
They’re a work in progress, obviously. And each is a guideline, not a law of the Medes and Persians.
In no particular order:
- Don’t eat after 8 PM
- Do daily devotions at 10 PM
- Get up no later than 7 AM
- Plan what I need to do
- Do what I planned to do
- Exceed expectations that are important to me
- Leave everyone feeling better than when we met
- Get serious exercise at least 2x/week
- Have a family fun night every Friday night
- Take each child for a “date” once a month
- Put in 1 hour of study/work every weeknight
- Drive like a Christian
- Pause before reacting in anger
More to come …
