Stop 4 1 Second

Stop 4 1 Second!

Often, we find ourselves stuck in a routine.  A victim and hostage of our long-time habits.  We've been doing certain things, or certain things in a certain way, for so long, possibly for so many years, that we find it extremely difficult to stop, step back, and ask ourselves a couple important questions:

1. Why am I doing this? 
2. Is this the best way to do what I am doing?
3. Is this the best use of my time?
4. Should I stop doing this and do something else?
5. Is what I am doing and how I am spending my time, my days, and my life in line with and in support of my most important personal goals and objectives?

Life is so, so short.  Every minute, day, week, month, and year is flying by.  Consistently, forcibly, and in an unstoppable manner. 

Someday towards the end of our lives we will be sitting in a chair, looking back, and assessing our life; we will ponder what we accomplished, what we did not accomplish but wish we had, and what our legacy will be.  How did we impact people lives?  Did we make a difference?  Did we make things better?  Were we successful according to our own personal definition of success? 

(We devote our time, money, and energy into what we value the most!)

Sometimes we have to force ourselves to Stop 4 1 Second.  Assess.  Evaluate.  Give ourselves a report card.  Critique ourselves.  Be honest. 

Change course if you must; make a change if needed!  Be brave.  Be courageous.  Be willing to adapt and proceed in a different manner if that is what is needed to help you with time achieve your goals.  To be successful.  To lead a purposeful life.  To make a difference.

Do not let the force of habit, complacency, and a fear of change hold you down. 

Stop 4 1 Second.

But then get moving again, steadfast, in the direction you choose..........time is of the essence!

When you look back at your life, many years from now, you want to be able to say "no regrets."  Good Job.  Success.  If you let life slide by and live without periodically taking time to assess and adjust to all of the inevitable change if your life and the world around you, you may be looking back without such admiration.....and instead with regret.
