What should we measure versus what we actually measure?

What should we measure versus what we actually measure?

The challenge is that we can hide behind things that don’t matter nearly enough – certainly not as much as some other harder to measure and more difficult to improve metrics.

Often what is convenient and measurable has the least impact.

Measuring my annual income doesn’t actually measure my happiness.

Measuring my body weight doesn’t measure my strength, cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility, or core.

Measuring my sense of peace and contentment, from a deep sense of contribution and balance, is challenging to quantify, but easy to feel a sense of accomplishment. Or not.

We are in charge of our life.

Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal. – jn

What is the weight you would call your ‘fighting weight’? Where you feel (or felt) absolutely invincible? Mine = 151.

 

Very often, because we treat everything coming at us as important, even the trivial stuff, we go through our day without a sense of balance or sense of priority. Yet we want to get better at so many things in our life.

We cannot improve this one thing.

We cannot improve what we do not measure.

As a small example of a high priority go to the next blog and you’ll see one thing I do (twice) every single morning…
