Is what you are doing worth what it is costing you?

Just learned from Dr Rohm's Tip of the Week:

An excerpt.....

As we begin a new year, I think it is very important to take a moment to ask ourselves a serious question. Our very life may depend upon it! The question is simply this: "Is what I am doing worth what it is costing me?" I think this question is vitally important because it will not only determine the outcome of our life, but when we take the time to ask and answer that question, it will also create a process that will guide us to the end of our journey.

Let's also look at this from a positive perspective. If we seek in this coming year to be a blessing and an encouragement to other people, that will be worth the cost. Going out of our way to be nice to someone and extending to them love and kindness may cost us time and effort, but it will pay rich rewards in our lives for years to come.

It takes so little extra effort to go out of our way to do something kind for another person or to say something especially helpful. Not only is it easy to do, but it pays rich dividends.

This principle can work for us or against us. I know that in this coming year, I am going to be seeking worthy goals and ideals for my life. I realize everything that I do is going to cost me something and I have decided that I might as well make the price of the things I am going to do beneficial! Will you join me? I can hear you saying, "Yes," already!
