Most people wait to evaluate their lives until there is a major crisis situation. It is difficult to do an objective self-evaluation during a crisis. Successful people complete an ongoing self-evaluation. They are able to know how all parts of their lives are going usually on a daily basis.

There are four questions that will allow you to evaluate the different parts of your life, your marriage, your family, your work, your friendships. You must look at each of these situations as it relates to the four questions. The questions are: How are you doing today? How do you know that’s how you’re doing? When was the last time you messed up? How do you know that’s how you messed up? These four questions require you to know what you are doing right or wrong in any given situation. They also require you to have specific knowledge of your judgment. This is a key to success. As a successful person you can give yourself daily positive and negative feedback. You can have self-control. You must not wait for someone to tell you if you are doing it right or wrong. The questions were “How are you doing today? How do you know that’s how you’re doing? When is the last time you messed? and How do you know that’s how you messed up?”
