There comes a time when we have to stop and reflect... asking questions of where am I and how did I get here? Not literally, hopefully. But in the bigger picture sense...
Where am I? In the bigger picture am I where I expected to be at this point in my life? Have I accomplished realistic goals I set for myself? Am I happy with the current state of my life? What areas need improvement in some way, shape or form?
How did I get here? A restrospective view of the decisions, actions, non-decisions that led me to where I am? Would I do it like this again? What would I have done different if I had known what I know now? Will this information help me moving forward? What helped me achieve the goals I did accomplish and what kept me from the goals I did not accomplish?
Where am I headed? Looking forward, what decisions do I have to make that impact the immediate future? 3 months from now? 6 months from now? What decisions are there that will change the landscape that I will see one year from now? 3 years from now? 5 years from now? What are the next SMART goals I am setting? (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely)
Now what? What are the next steps? How is my big picture changing? Are there new players? What else needs to be taken into account? Do I have specific manageable pieces towards my goals? Do I still need to figure those out? What resources do I have? What resources do I need?
What's the point? Why am I headed where I'm headed? For money? Fame? Love? Family? Happiness? Habit? Because it's what I'm expected to do?
These are just some of the questions that have been floating around in my head as the year comes to an end and we are faced with the beginning of a new year. A blank calendar ahead that has so many possibilities. Well, I already have stuff on my calendar for January but you know what I mean.
