I recently came across this which I wrote in 2001, it caused me to take a self-assessment on where I am today and which things are still relevant today.
Inspired, but that means finding what inspires me Appreciative of the help I receive
Intelligent about everything
Patient with my children, yelling at them doesn’t teach them Driven towards success, I have to want to be the best Loving in my relationships
Fun in every area of my life Dedicated to my goals
Practical in my approach to everything, understanding before reacting Aware of how my choices affect everything around me Spiritual and gain understanding of the higher powers
Adventurous, remembering what it was like to feel invincible Black and instill that heritage in my kids
Respected by everyone, especially my kids Wealthy and understand that that is not only monetary
Aggressive and attack every facet of life Confident and Cocky and know when each is appropriate
Motivated to be the best at whatever I do
Of a husband, father, and authority in my house Comfortable with being me, there no need for change Honest with myself
Athletic, which is more important that thinking about diets Articulate in every message and conversation Connected with friends and extended family
Deliberate and intentional about living
