This is the time of the year when most companies evaluate their employees and see where the company is in relation to its goals.

Like a corporation, I believe we should all take time to assess our lives and evaluate where we are we in relation to our lifetime goals? Some people may choose to do it once a year, others may choose to do it more often. We don't need for the arrival of the New Year to make resolutions to change the direction or quality of our life and/or health. We can get a headstart and begin evaluating our lives right now.

Have we reached our goals? Are there things we can weed out that we don't need? I'm not talking about just cleaning out closets and throwing away old shoes or clothes. I mean we need to lose our bad habits or behaviors that hold us back. We need to remove the clutter that fills our minds.

That being said, it is easier to know that it should be done and even realize that it can have a positive result, than it is to make the commitment to actually take the time and assess our lives.

A turbo powered year that is rapidly coming to an end combined with my ever growing frustration that I haven't yet been able to meet many of my self imposed deadlines and goals have inspired me to stop and devote some time to self evaluation.
