Planning a week

by Rod Smith

What kind of week will you have? What kind of person will you be this week? Ask these questions and most will say they don’t know or reveal a Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) attitude. 

It is possible to plan. 

Here’s my five-point plan for this week: 

  • I will do something every day that is an act of self-care and self-love. It is impossible to love others without also loving myself. 
  • I will occupy the driver’s seat of my life. Abdication of this adult role to others – except under extreme circumstances – is the definition of selfishness. 
  • Within the framework of my predetermined values and boundaries and my callings, I will be a highly cooperative person, a team-player, an encourager.  
  • I will listen without waiting to speak knowing that every person has a voice worth hearing and something to teach me. 
  • I will commit at least one specific act of unexpected generosity, one that costs me time and/or treasure, each day. This is to train my seeing, thinking and responding to others so that generosity becomes an ingrained way of life for me.

I’d love to see what you are planning for your week. Email me your 5 or 3 or 7 point plan.
