How Good Are You at What You Do?

(For parents, marriages, therapists and service providers,  partnerships, employees and everyone of us.)

Do you get feedback from those you relate to?
Do you ask those you serve what they would like more or better or differently?
Do you inquire from yourself and others how you can be better and more effective?
What do you use as a qualitative scale of your effectiveness and success?

Are you real in your relationships as home and work?
Does being “real” mean you dump your negativity and toxic thoughts and feelings on others?
Does being “real” mean you give yourself, your family and all others the best you are, do and have?
Does being “real” mean you pretend to be your best or you take responsibility for healing and clearing you?

Are you willing and able to step away from difficult or upsetting situations and take care of you first?
Are you open to choosing always the best and most helpful way to relate and serve yourself and others?
Are you trusting giving yourself the freedom to be and do and have what works for you?
Are you aware that your self care inspires, facilitates and encourages others to be their best as well?

When we are willing to gather feedback on our relationships and service, we can take responsibility.
When we are willing to let go, listen and learn from all others, their observations and suggestions, we grow.
When we observe how others see us and relate to us, we can be successful in choosing a better way.
When we encourage others to share with us their thoughts and feeling, their observations and suggestions, we are blessed with what we may need to know in order to grow.

Those who are open to feedback from others tend to develop better relationships and greater opportunities for success in all our endeavors.
We cannot see what we cannot see and are unwilling to listen to or look at.
We will only take in information with tends to agree with our opinions of ourselves.
When we actually ask for feedback and suggestions for improvement we encourage others to help us.

Do you have a self evaluation tool or template?
Do you use the harmony and happiness of your relationships as an indicator?
Do you realize that how people treat you tells you much about how they feel about you?
Do you actively invite others to share what you could do so they would trust and value you more?

“Constant and never-ending improvement” is a motto for those who seek to live and serve with excellence.
When we achieve an average level of competence or compare ourselves to the norm, we may feel OK.
When we stop growing, evolving, improving and becoming more conscious, we begin slipping back.
Healthy, functional, successful people always seek for a better way to live and give, to grow and learn.

How good am I at what I do?
If you have input that you believe will benefit me, please let me know.
If you give me a gift of your honest feedback, I promise I will take it in and use it only as a blessing.
I know, since I only what the best for you, that you wish the same for me.

Giving me your best constructive criticism tells me that you care and dare to share.
And I thank you and trust you and know that together we will move toward better ways to live and love.

Loving us all as we learn to serve one another with authentic sharing and caring,
Betty Lue
