I find myself muttering this phrase after completing significant tasks. But it wasn’t until recently that I have started to consider the significance (or the lack in certain instances…) of the phrase. Really looking critically at
1) the Mission and
2) the Accomplishment
I, like many of you, am at a point in my life where I’d like to live my purpose and passions more often than not. It is so important for me to be more critical of the missions I accept. Which brings me to accomplishments...Can we really call them that if they don’t serve a greater good? For instance, finishing all the laundry will ensure that my family has a sufficient supply of clean towels and undergarments (there are five of us at home) – certainly an admirable cause. But at the expense of quality time with family and friends, squeezing in a run or walk outdoors or doing research on a topic that has been tugging at my heart for several days? These are the things I tend to prioritize off the list.
So in my own pursuit of accomplished living, I am trying to give weight to the joyful, life giving, even challenging experiences. And if that means the laundry piles up occasionally or I have to say no to things that allow room for things I ought to be saying yes to, then those are the missions I want to accomplish.
So with that epiphany shared, the stiletto meets the turquoise carpet (because red is so overused…). As I coach myself to blossoming into a highly sought after life coach, I hope you will join me, cheer me on and holler back with your own experiences, as I chronicle my progress and evolution here.
Blessings and favor in your pursuit of an accomplished life – however you choose to define it!
What is your definition of accomplished living?
