Evaluation Season
I love this time of year! No, not for all of the reasons you may be
thinking. I can leave the decorations,
cookies and all of that. In fact, I
grumble every year at the inefficiency of Christmas. In my brain it makes no sense why you would
spend an entire day decorating something knowing you are going to un-decorate
in a month. Pointless…to me, not my
wife=)!
The reason I love this time of year
is because it is what I call “evaluation season”. The name of my BLOG is Life on Point, and as you can imagine there is a reason I chose
that name. I chose that name because I
think the greatest waste of all is a life wasted; thus we need to ensure we
live our life on point. “Evaluation Season” gives us an opportunity to
evaluate the previous year and look forward to the next so we can remain on point.
I was meeting with my good friend
Denny Bates this week and he made a profound statement. He said, “I cannot wish my legacy at my
death.” Do you hear the significance in
those words? What is being said there is
that your legacy is not made at your death; your legacy is made day after day
after day by the choices you make and the attitude in which you live out those
choices. God has given you life. What a gift!
However, it is up to you to ensure that you live your life on point -
that you live it with significance, purpose and intentionality.
Over the next couple of weeks I am
going to share with you what I do during evaluation season. Some of the ideas you will want to
adopt. Some of them will not make sense
for you, but for now, consider 2017. Did
you live it on point? A worn out, but
apt cliché says this, “If you aim at nothing you will hit it every time.” What did you aim at in 2017 and did you hit
it? Worse yet than not hitting your
target is not knowing your target. Over
the next few weeks we will discuss how you can both know and hit your target
for 2018 and beyond.
