The Fourth Quarter and Man’s Search for Meaning


Listen Later

‘If you have not achieved what you wanted then it’s important to acknowledge this and make alterations now, before the end of the year’

As we enter the fourth quarter of the year Gordon has some great practical advice on self-assessment and review to help anyone stay focused on the journey and achieve the goals they set at the beginning of the year.

Gordon also shares his monthly book review of a text that is hugely significant and will help anyone to reflect and develop their understanding that you can learn from all experiences in life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Book review

  • This month’s book is ‘Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor E Frankl
  • This book is psychiatrist Victor Frankl’s story of his struggle to stay alive and survive Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
  • The book is split into 2 parts – part one is his narrative on his experiences in the concentration camps and the second part is titled ‘logotherapy in a nutshell’ and explores the concept that human nature is motivated by the search for a life purpose.

The fourth quarter

  • This is a time to review whether you are in the same place at this point as you were earlier in the year.
  • If you are exactly where you want to be, you have a plan and everything is going according to the plan and you are moving forward then carry on.
  • If you have not made enough progress towards your goals then you need to review and make changes.
  • Are you spending the quality time you said you would on the activities you said you would at the start of the year?
  • It's vital to have the ability to self-assess and reflect accurately.
  • If you don’t check in to make sure you are making sufficient progress towards the goals you have set then you can easily find yourself moving away from the activities that make progress towards your chosen goals.
  • It's tempting to get caught in the process and forget about the overall outcomes although your goals and targets should be around the process you need to remember why you are doing the activities and your overall goals.
  • Always take the opportunity at the beginning of every quarter to look back at what you’ve achieved and the goals you set being prepared to alter and adjust them to ensure you are making the process you want.
  • Are you making progress towards your goals or do you need to realign your activities, processes and tasks to make sure you achieve?
