When was the last time you paused to truly reflect on your life? I’m not talking about a quick
thought in the car or a fleeting moment before bed. I’m talking about carving out intentional
time—hours, a day, or even a weekend—to step away from your daily routine and look at how
your life is really going.
In this episode, I challenge you to take a step back and conduct a personal quarterly review, a
practice that can lead to profound growth and clarity. We’ll dive into why reflection is so difficult,
especially for men, and how it parallels the way coaches and athletes review game film to
improve their performance. You wouldn’t keep running the same play that isn’t working in
football, so why should your life be any different?
I’ll guide you through a simple framework for a quarterly life review, including:
- Celebrating your wins and building confidence.
- Identifying "God moments" and reflecting on spiritual growth.
- Unpacking key lessons from the past quarter in relationships, health, and career.
- Evaluating your habits—both the good ones to keep and the bad ones to break.
- Setting intentional, informed goals for the next quarter.
As Peter Drucker wisely said, “Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet
reflection will come even more effective action.” So join me as we explore how to make
reflection a cornerstone of your growth, and take action to live more intentionally.
