Who Is the President of Your LIFE?

It’s the election season and everybody is talking about the candidates! For me, both current candidates are not great choices. Personally, I was a Bernie fan and was quite disappointed when he lost.

But I don’t want to talk about those presidential candidates. No, I want to discuss the president of my life. This relates to a Darren Daily I listened to yesterday. It was a very creative way to look at evaluation of self in the shape of presidential debates during the voting season!

In the video, he stated, just as you would criticize and analyze a candidate such as Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump when trying to figure out which one is a better one, you should do the same with your own life and track record.

Here are some interesting questions that he asks:

1. What has been your performance track record over the past few years? You made promises back then—to your family, your employees, yourself, and your God. Did you deliver?

2. What would the pundits say about your performance? What would the critics point out as your shortcomings?

3. In a debate, what examples would someone use against you? Have you been hypocritical to what you say you stand for, when you flip flopped on your values, when your policies and plans failed and you didn’t follow through on your campaign promises?

What a monumental way to truly evaluate your own life and “track record”. He’s right; it is so easy to criticize the current political candidates. Oh this person said he doesn’t support gay marriage before and now he has changed his mind. Oh this person said she wouldn’t go to war, now she wants to go to war. And so on and so forth.

Indeed, it is easy to judge and to point by point criticize someone else. But when it comes to yourself, can you be as critical?
