We’re halfway through the month already! Congratulations for making it this far.

We’ve also made it through Part Two of the 31 Days of Goal-Setting challenge. Tomorrow we’ll be starting Part Three: Finding Your Purpose.

But today, we’re wrapping up part two with this question: Overall, how do you think you’re doing?

Isn’t that a loaded question? But it’s an important one. Remember, the point isn’t to assess yourself based on an arbitrary standard. Your goals should be based on what you want out of various aspects of your life. If you’re out of shape by conventional standards but your level of fitness suits you just fine, than congrats! You are doing GREAT in that area of your life. Making a goal to go to the gym five times a week because you “should” be trying to run a 5k would probably be a waste of time for you.

For me, briefly:

• I’m happy with where I’m headed in terms of my health and my finances and lifestyle.
• I have a ways to go regarding career and purpose and my family, but I think I’m on the right path.
• I have a lot of considerations when it comes to joy and fulfillment, my friendships and community, and the ways in which I give back to the world.
