Lesson 184: Know How Much Your Hour Costs

I did talk about how expensive time can be. Well, there's a neat calculation that can help you quantify that. Once you know how much your hour is worth, it will help you prioritize the actions you take in your life. If the thing you are doing isn't worth your hourly pay, or doing anything to build towards your goals, cut it out right away then go and do the thing you are meant to be doing that will lead you to your goals. 

PROMPT: Your Hour = Yearly income/1760 * 3

Lesson 183: Time Is Expensive 

Sure you get paid by the hour but you know what time always moves forward so if you have set time to do one thing yet use it for something else, there's a great chance you won't have time to do the original thing you had planned out to do. This piles up and it gets expensive. Guard your time and use your calendar religiously. If it's not on the calendar, there's a very good chance it won't happen.

PROMPT: How do you spend your time?

Lesson 182: Choose Your Inner Circle Wisely

The people in your life matter a lot. They are there when you need them, they give you advice and you believe they have your back... mostly. However, if we just let anyone in, we might end up in a bad situation. I believe that to let people in your life, you have to make sure that they have passed certain criteria. Respect your space and don't let everyone in.

PROMPT: How do you choose the people you let into your life?

Lesson 181: Spoil Yourself

I believe we should take some time out and spoil ourselves. First off, we know the things we love and when we've worked for it, there's nothing wrong with doing something nice just for you. Go splurge a little. All that work you've done has led you to the harvest, so enjoy it. 

PROMPT: How comfortable are you with spoiling yourself? Why?

Lesson 180: Family First

Family is important. They can get under your skin. They can tick you off. They can irritate you but at the end of the day, family is family. Remember, family isn't just your biological or immediate family; family in this case are those people you've chosen to accept as your family biological or not.

PROMPT: How close are you with family? Why?

Lesson 179: Love Is A Verb

If you love someone, tell them, sure, but more than that, show them. Let your actions show them how you truly feel. One thing though, it has to be the way they want that love shown. If you try to show them the way love the way you would love to be shown, there's a chance it might work but it's best to ask them how they want love shown and then do that. Love is such a beautiful gift and one we should share by the actions we take.

PROMPT: What actions do you perform to show your love?

Lesson 178: Be Dependable

It feels good to be someone that can be counted on. When you are that person that is counted on, it feels good. Well, maybe it's just me but I love being someone that is relied upon. It is a lot of responsibility but it is a wonderful vibe. The thing about it is that just because you answer when they call doesn't mean they will answer when you call. So being dependable means being there for them without any expectations. Yup, it isn't for everyone. 

PROMPT: Do people find you dependable? Why?

Lesson 177: Embrace Responsibility

Responsibility comes with the role of leadership. When you lead, you are responsible for the people you are leader, you are responsible for getting to the goal you are heading to. If you are leading, you have to be comfortable with welcoming and embracing responsibility. It isn't going to be easy but what you need to understand is that responsibility is a beautiful thing.

PROMPT: How do you handle responsibility?

Lesson 176: Count Your Days

When's your birthday? Do you count your days? I believe as human beings we all know that our time on this planet is finite. We know one day we won't be here anymore. One day we'll die. However, while we are here we have to make sure our time here counts. The impact you create will outlive you so make sure you leave a positive impact.

PROMPT: Do you count your days? Why?

Lesson 175: Time Is Irreversible

Time is irreversible. If you have time set to do something, make sure you do it and if you don't, just know that time is gone. Respect time and stick to your schedule.

PROMPT: When was the last time you were late? Why? How did you handle it?
