10 Key Moves

to make at home or at work that will take me to the next level of competency and satisfaction

1. I have to be able to assess and take that risk and then live with the consequence- success or failure. This applies in terms of relationships and new projects at work.

2. Be more understanding and forgiving to the opposite sex. Stand my ground to grow, to become a better man.

3. Start courting and not dating. Distrust emotions and trusts God. Withholding emotional attachment until I am ready to marry. Tend towards intellectual and spiritual and waits for physical until marriage.

4. Know that I can’t change anyone’s personality, but it can grow and mature. Learn to enhance that. Be able to identify with them and appreciate them for who they are.

5. Start putting money aside for future wife’s allowance and children’s fund. Whether I end up having a wife and a family or not, it’d be good to have a separate account for that purpose. If it doesn’t work out, it’ll go to charity.

6. Discipline myself more to follow a budget for my own personal life. Know the difference between needing it to wanting it.

7. Work with more enthusiasm. I need to go to work everyday knowing that I’m working for God’s kingdom. Being more passionate and positive with my career. “let my yes be yes and my no be no….” Matt. 5:37

8. Increase value at work. All my work should be the best work. I have to be more conscious and aware of the latest news in my industry of work. Staying positive would be a good starting point since the economy is down right now.

9. I know that everything is temporary with work and it’s a stepping-stone for a bigger picture. I got to be more personable and professional at work. Putting things into perspective and know what my next moves are going to be. To be able to win and to be able to sustain that.

10. I’m not only going to work, but I’ll work to be really good at it. Taking that next step to excellence. Always remembering that God is in control and not me. Also that I’m working under him is important. I just need to always be hungry for work and be able to balance it with everything else.
