Self-check
Dear Friend,
The first month of the new year is behind us. I wonder, did you follow through with your new goals and new habits? At the beginning of every month, I do a self-check. This helps me identify where I am living up to my goals and where I am falling short.
The American philosopher, John Dewey wrote: “What is sometimes called an act of self expression might better be termed one of self exposure. It discloses character – or lack of character – to others.” Here is the core of Dewey's good idea: Establishing good goals and new behavior develops a richer quality of character; and quality character expresses itself in higher qualities of life.
• Are your goals developing your character?
• Is your character improving the quality of your life?
February is a great time for a self-check!
