A Closer Look


Sometimes i get caught up with all that's going on in my life that i can fall into a rut that is not healthy. Here are 10 things i'm looking at and trying to practice for my own benefit as well as those around me.
  1. Are the people closest to me lifting me higher or dragging me down?
  2. How have I intentionally encouraged people around me in the past week?
  3. Am I speaking transparently with at least two other close trusted friends on a weekly basis?
  4. Am I submitting myself to the correction and coaching of at least one mentor?
  5. Am I holding a grudge against someone?
  6. Am I speaking well of other people?
  7. Am I falling for the temptation of comparing, complaining, criticizing or gossiping?
  8. Are my words and relationships characterized by words of faith or negativity?
  9. Do people enjoy being around me or am I often “down”?
  10. Have a made at least three new friends in the last year?

Anything you could add?

Thanks for those questions. Some of them I've been thinking about for a while, and I need to act.
