How I Do It All‏

I get asked a lot how I do it all.  How do I raise 4 kids, work outside the home full time, manage a home and family schedule, work on my marriage of 26 years, and still find time for Families with Purpose.  And my answer is always the same, I don’t do it all, only the important.  And for the important I have set up very specific systems to help manage it all.



My goal in life isn’t to do it all, but to do what’s important.  I focus my life on doing what excites me and what I feel I have been called to do.  Here is how you too can determine what's important and how to do a better job of fitting the important into your life.
 

Get Crystal Clear on Your Values, Priorities, and Vision and Be Unwilling to Compromise Them

Before you do anything else you need to get crystal clear on what’s important.

You might not necessarily know how to get there, but if you know where you are going and what is really important you will figure out how to get there.

That is why we have a family mission statement, created a family vision, and why I have my own personal mission and vision for my life.  That is why Joe and I have been very deliberate in choosing and teaching our core family values.

Clarity is what keeps you from floundering and flittering from one quick fix to another.   Clarity is what will keep you focused.
 

Keep It All in Perspective

I know it is hard when you are excited about your life, have lots you want to accomplish, but can’t seem to find time to work on your projects or accomplish any of your goals.  Babies who aren’t sleeping through the night or kids’ activities that take up all your spare time will make accomplishing your goals harder.  But the reality is that someday your kids will sleep through the night and someday your kids will need you less and you will have more time and energy to work on your projects.

So TRY to be present in the moments you have now, enjoy your season of life, and find little ways of continuing to work on your personal goals and ambitions.  Just small actions like reading books, taking short classes, or setting aside time every week to work on your own goals will help keep your own dreams alive.  Try not to lose sight of who you are or what you want to accomplish in life in the midst of the busyness of raising a family.
 

Let the Unimportant Go

I know this is easier said than done and it took me a long time to learn how to do it, but if something isn’t tied directly to your vision and values you either have to eliminate it from your life or find ways of simplifying it or delegating it.  For me I had to learn how to let go of the idea of having a spotlessly clean organized house.  Too much of my identity was tied up in how clean my house was even though nowhere in our family vision did we indicate that this was important to us.  It was something I thought a good mother and wife should do.  And though I truly appreciate a clean picked up house I didn’t necessarily enjoy doing it or sacrificing my time that I could be spending elsewhere.  So I simplified it by scaling back what I tried to do each week and delegated some of it to the kids.

And what really helped me learn how to let the unimportant go was learning how to get excited about my life and the things that were most important to me.  Things like being the mother and wife I wanted to be, being present and available when my family needed me and helping other families through the FWP community.

What in your life are you excited about?

Understanding Values

Very simply put, your personal values are those things that you value or judge to be important in life.

This includes principles, ideals, standards of behaviour and ways of doing things that you believe should be upheld or adhered to.

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

When you take decisions, act and behave in accordance with your values, you will show and experience integrity and, generally speaking, you will feel good about – and content with – life.

When what you decide and the way you act and behave does not align with your values then generally you will feel unhappy with a sense that things are not good or wrong.

What you feel is and is not important in life says a lot about who you are. Your values reflect your personal philosophy; they capture the essence of you.

Your values will play an important role in how you dress and present yourself, the way you conduct yourself in front of others, whether you will marry and /or have children, who you associate with, what you prefer to eat or watch on TV, the type of job you will seek out, how active you are in your community, what sort of possessions you treasure, what you like and don’t like, and so on and so on.

Provided that your basic needs are catered for, your values will normally act as the driving force behind your decisions and judgments.

Whether you believe something is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’; and whether you believe something is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ will depend on whether that something align with your values or not.

Getting clarity on – and understanding – one’s values, is an extremely important part of the life coaching process and now you can hopefully see why.

Values, along with beliefs, are the key to effecting change in your life!

Another way to think of a value is as a ‘state of being’ that you aspire to.

To get an idea for what a value is, think of the state of being or way of living that you wish to experience, and complete the following one or more of the statements:

“I aspire to live with ………………………………………… ; and/or

“I aspire to live a life of ………………………………………..”; and/or

“I aspire to live as ………………………………………….”

Values are normally expressed as nouns or adjectives, so for example, you may have chosen to write “I aspire to live with compassion” or “I aspire to live as a compassionate person”. So your value is ‘compassion’ (or ‘being compassionate’).

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Strive for the Mountain Top

                                          Source:http://austriaangloalliance.deviantart.com/

Don't walk where everybody else walks, it's a reason it's called the beaten path. There will be many that will offer you their advice as to what is good for you. You separate the good information from the bad. The process is called discernment. 

I advise you to first listen to your self. Welcome change with open arms. Resistance to change will hinder your advancement. Nothing avoids change. Your values should never be compromised but enhanced. Your character should be of the utmost but open minded. Your conviction should be strong but also willing. 

Our perception of what life is about is based in our values our experiences and our ideology. Some will tell you accepting defeat in some situations is acceptable. You will live to fight another day is a very true and exacting statement. Though this statement is true I disagree with accepting defeat. Life is a learning process and every situation is an opportunity to improve upon that situation. When you settle for defeat that is exactly what you get. 

The substances of self consist of experiences beliefs and situations. The substance is invaluable significant and distinctive. How we manage those situations events and circumstances is vital.

Your opportunities to succeed are larger than your opportunities to fail. The magnificent gift of life is a gift that is given only by one. The gift is the reason we all are here. There is no gift bigger than the gift of life. It is not to be wasted or unappreciated. When we strive to make the best of our selves we also strive to make the world better. The pursuit of a better life is measured by the road travel not by arriving at destination. 

We will discover who we are by not conforming to others opinions of who are but by conforming to the gifts given to us. The better we manage the lane given to us the wider the lane gets. The more we guard what we say what we do and what we hear the sharper we become. The inner ear is a true source for knowledge. It will never tell you anything but what is good for you. We just have to be willing to listen. The more we listen the more we gain. The more we appreciate our selves the more we appreciate others. The drive to succeed has to be fueled from what's inside you. It will give you conviction a necessary building block needed to reach your pinnacle.

When we transform instead conform we allow the gifts of life to be utilized. When a gift comes upon and you and you are not ready for it, it will pass you by. Spiritual and fiscal responsibility prepares you for a gift that has already been bestowed upon you. 

To most this statement is grammatically incorrect. It talks of the past tense giving to the future tense. It also describes faith. If you truly believe something it will convict you. Conviction is a substance to build upon. When we truly embrace the gifts given to us our perceptions of what matters will change. Your shortcoming will become opportunities. 

Once you realize who you are and what you are the opportunities will become more abundant. Your gifts were set aside for you before you ever knew or realized who or what you are. Where there is cause there is effect. When you put forth the effort there will be an effect. The effect is dependent on your effort. The effect of believing in your self raises your expectations that you have for your self. In order to get to the top there has to be more than believing in your self.

Believing in self is good but sometimes self can get in the way. You need to be guided by faith. Opportunities build character and endurance. With intellect you can get through anything if applied correctly. Apply faith and it will produce. Allow your gifts to work for you and you will never fail.
