40-Days Forward 2009, Day Eleven: What are the essentials?

Now that you’ve had the opportunity to reflect on your life as it is now, do some noticing and paying attention, identify some of your strengths, and perhaps seek some feedback, it’s time to take a look into your future. The planning you’ll do as part of the 40-Days Forward journey is a little different from the scheduling you may already be engaged in. This is big picture planning, done by determining what is essential to you. The goals you create for yourself must be based on what you are passionate about, what’s at the heart of your skills, strengths, talents and gifts (in other words, in your wheelhouse), and the fuel and resources that drive you.

Think about the non-negotiables in your life. It could be family. Freedom. Justice and fairness. Review the thoughts you’ve captured so far, look at your strengths. Likely, your non-negotiables–the must-haves in your life–have already peeked through. Today, make a list of your must-haves, the non-negotiables without which, your life would be incomplete.
