Last week, I experienced my first mammogram and I will leave it at that...an experience. As I prepare for the "big 40" in June, my mind and body have automatically shifted into this mode of doing an inventory of self. I have found myself really scrutinizing everything about me. Not so much of a negative process, but more so of a really honest assessment about who I am and where I am in life. At 40 years of age, I will be approaching the half mark in life and it has caused me to wonder have I really embraced all of the gifts and talents that I have and am I doing the absolutely best that I can in life.
Have I gotten lazy in some areas because no one looked like they were paying attention? You know how that looks and feels right? Well, to remind some of us who are in denial, it is a stage where you just stop caring or simply get lazy about things such as purpose, appearance and even how you perform on the job. Growing up, I was encouraged to just do the best that I could in all situations. In fact, my father challenged me to do my very best in the workplace and cautioned me to never be caught in a situation where you are sitting in a chair across from someone that is telling you that you haven't been doing your best. He said that when you are not performing well and you are in tune with yourself, you should be the first person to recognize the symptoms of failure.
