Every now and then, we should stop and take a self-inventory. This is to make sure that we are making progress on our personal goals and are not caught up in a routine that is working against us. This is also very necessary in order to make sure that we are well rounded in our activities, and apportionments of time.
Now is an excellent time for such an activity because we can change with the weather, if necessary. If not now, then when?
Our communities need more people, like yourself, who are concerned about being the best neighbor they can be.
Whenever, you decide to take such an inventory, make sure that you have made arrangements and are ready to accept honest and real feedback for evaluation purposes.
There may be some small changes that you can make in order to achieve your desired outcomes, however, there may be a requirement for some major things to be done as soon as possible, in order for you to achieve the desired results.
Having someone that you can trust along with you for feedback purposes is desirable because as the older folks say “ two heads are better than 1”.
However, it is very important who that someone is, how honest they will be, how confidential they will be, and how willing you are to accept their input into your process.
Upon receiving feedback that requires some changes to be made, be also willing to discuss these proposed changes with the person you have selected to include in the process. In this manner, you don’t have to feel alone with the decisions. Keep in mind that the reason for doing any of this is to make sure that you are making a much-needed contribution.
It may become necessary for you to make these assessments periodically so that you can stay on the right track. Sometimes, major events occur in our own lives that may require adjustments to be made.
This is so very important to the advancement of human – kind, that we must not take it litely, or not at all.
If you find that at this time you are not prepared to make the kind of commitment that you feel is necessary, then by all means get started by contacting us at gracechapelministries.org or email us at gracechapeldevelopment@gmail.com
If Not, You Then Who? If Not Now, Then When?
