The 365 Commitment

Day 36 – Who Are You?

I have to admit that there have been a few mornings (like today) when my mind is completely blank on important tasks to write down on my 365 list. Of course, I have things TO DO, but not necessarily things I can clearly come up with that will help me achieve whatever great ambitions that I aspire to.

This brings me to an exercise that helped this morning. A while ago, I wrote down a statement in which I described who I was going to be in one year. I did this when I started 365. This is a powerful tool, I immediately was able to do a bit of course correction this morning and more importantly feel ok with some of the tasks I had already written down.

You want confidence that you are doing the right things on your 365 list? Then read this personal vision statement of who you are going to be in a year and ask yourself – will these tasks help me get there?

Do not have a personal vision statement? Sounds like an awesome task for today!
