I believe in self-assessment. In fact I think it should be a regular part of life for someone committed to being effective with the life God has given. There is always the process of change that happens in our life. Transformation from glory to glory is the process we share in as followers of Christ.
There actually five types of change might need.
Improvement
This usually entails adding something new to your life. Making things better is part of our growth.
Adjustments
This means tweaking and changing areas of our life for greater effectiveness. Maybe changing the hours we work. Or, fine-tuning a calling. This doesn’t usually require a great deal of change.
Restart
This means recommitting to patterns or habits you have left behind. We all can use a redo every so often.
Revise
This means a pretty radical change in your life. It can mean changing your vocational direction. Or, changing your place of service at your church.
Reconstruct
This is where you tear down parts of your life and totally rebuild. This can be a thing like moving to another city or changing denominations. One can only take a small amount of this kind of change in a lifetime.
Take a moment and take a look at your life. What kind of change does the present require for you to stay effective?
