Ken Donaldson, Marry YourSelf First and Life Balance
Here’s something everyone can relate to: Your Car.
That wonderful and amazing piece of technology that takes you from one place to another…
usually without any difficulty.
And what is one big element the car relies on to get you there?
The tires…those round rubber donuts which “usually”
create no problems.
Let’s talk about your tires…stick with me here… it’ll all start to make sense…
I promise!
Think of your life as being a car and your tires as one of the most important dynamics to get you
where you want to be in your life.
Each of the tires have an important role, so let’s take a closer look at the tires…
Tire #1: The Know YourSelf Tire
This tire consists of your purpose, your values and your vision.
Take the time now to answer the following questions:
Why am I here (purpose)?
Where am I going (vision)?
What’s most important (values)?
If this tire is not properly aligned, balanced or inflated, your car will not work properly and
you’re likely to have a breakdown on the Highway of Life.
And THAT would be a HUGE bummer!
Tire #2: The Love YourSelf Tire
This tire consists of the ways you affirm yourself, talk to yourself, talk about yourself and
the balance (or lack thereof ) you have in your life.
Answer these questions now:
What good things do I say to myself every day?
How do I celebrate me every day?
How do I love myself every day?
And how do I keep myself healthy every day?
Like tire #1, if this tire is not properly aligned, balanced or inflated, your car will
not work properly and you’re likely – again – to have a breakdown on the Highway of Life.
More bummers!
Tire #3: The Believe in YourSelf Tire
This tire consists of your self-confidence, your communication capabilities, and your ability
to “Play Big” in life.
Answer these additional questions. How:
Do I strengthen my confidence muscle?
Do I expand my communication skills?
Can I play bigger and bigger every day in Life?
Yes, like tires #1 and #2, if this tire is not properly aligned, balanced or inflated, your car
will not work properly and you’re most likely to have a breakdown on the Highway of Life.
Breakdowns like these are unnecessary and HUGE bummers!
Tire #4: The Guide YourSelf Tire
This tire consists of your boundaries, priority management and stress management skills.
Answer these last questions. How:
Do I evaluate my boundaries?
Do I prioritize my life?
Have I managed stress in my life?
I’m sure you’re catching on…yes, like tires #1, #2 and #3, if this tire is not properly
aligned, balanced or inflated, you’re likely to have a breakdown on the Highway of Life.
And another bummer!
NOW, the only other question is:
What are you going to do about all this?
One answer…and you know what it is:
If for some reason you haven’t gotten your copy yet, today is the day!
Go get your tire situation straightened out now.
At least answer those 13 questions for yourself… they may be
the most important questions you ever ask yourself!
And Marry YourSelf First every day…in every way!
