CALIBRATE

CALIBRATE

At different points in our lives, and on our journey to our desired destination, there must be a period of intentional and sincere assessment of ourselves and our journey. It is very important for us to assess ourselves, measure how far we have gone in comparison to how far we should have gone, and how far we still have to go.

Without a measure, we cannot know how well something is doing or has done against its equals or against time. There must always be a target, a goal, a finish line, a point where we will get to and know that we have achieved something. The purpose of an activity is defeated if there is no measure of how well the activity has been done, and the impact it is having.

We must always measure how well we are doing, not in comparison with others but ourselves. People can be a yardstick for us to know how much progress we have made, and are still making, be we should not always make them our benchmark. The best comparison we can make is our former self versus our new self, how we were yesterday versus how we are today.

We should not be satisfied by little successes. As much as we must celebrate them, we cannot see them as the best we can do. We should not be judged by what we are, but by what we can become if we are willing and ready to do more than we have always done. Our best self is achievable, and should be our own major yardstick as we continue through life.
