Back in November, I wrote and published my “Manifesto.”
But it’s one thing to write this, and another to live it. How am I doing? Great question. I’m figuring this out as I write it:
I am a Father… B
I think I’m doing ok here. My children are taken care of, and loved. Working to teach them every day. Only thing that’s stopping it from being an A is that I’ve not been taking care of myself. But more on that later.
I am a Husband… B
Once again, doing well here, but I can improve on “Operating as a team” with my wife. To be honest with myself, I can assist more around the house. I’m just being honest.
I am a Provider… C
Although I am obviously providing, it’s safe to say my cup is not “running over.” We’ve made excellent progress on the debt front, but this is a long war to fight, and not going to be fixed anytime soon. We didn’t get into debt over night, it won’t be fixed overnight.
As for harvesting more than one source – this is hit and miss. Had a great January, Horrible February, and on track for a mediocre March when it comes to non-wage income sources. I could do better, and I know where I need to improve.
Once again, healthy shows up, as well as empowering myself to provide. Both of these are put off because it’s just not easy now. The truth is – it’s never easy.
I am a Thought Leader… C
Once again, busy is an excuse, but not a good one. I have not spent any time “sharpening the sword” and have not worked at all within the community for positive change. On the positive, I know I’m being a role model to my extended family. I know that I’m training the next generation, and I work to refine my beliefs every day. When I locate the cognitive dissonance, I’m identifying it, and calling it out.
I am an Adventurer… D
And it’s a bad grade by choice. Because I’m working so hard on removing debt, the amount of exploration and fine things have been decreased on purpose. Simply put, it is very difficult to live this creed in conjunction with the “Provider” while remaining responsible. So be it. I’ll take the bad grade here for now.
Areas of improvement
- Must continue to work diligently to reduce debt. Every 100 dollars of debt removed can mean a savings of as much as 25 dollars a year. There is no quicker way to the “Adventurer” items than that.
- Health. I need to quit smoking. I need to lose weight. I need to stop saying that, and just do it.
- I need to stop being afraid of the small loss, and consider lost opportunity cost when working in the stock market. I’ve held one particular stock for over 6 months, with little or no movement on it at all. I should have cut this loose LONG AGO. and moved on
I think this is a good introspective. Final grade? I think it’s a “C”. What’s yours?
