New Standards

In the past, I've measured my success by what and how much I got done.  Recently I've chosen new standards. At the end of the day, I ask myself:

  • Did I reach out to call or visit with a friend? Or make a new one?
  • Was I respectful of myself and others, even those with whom I disagree?
  • Did I treat myself well with diet, rest, exercise, and spiritual practice?
  • Did I challenge my mind through reading or other new learning?
  • Was I kind, calm, and loving?
  • Did I do something just for fun?
  • Did I set good boundaries, focusing on what is my business and letting everything else go?

You write it: At the end of the day, how do you measure your success?
