Life Checklist – 12 Signs You’re Doing Okay In Life
Looking for a life checklist? Here are 12 signs you’re doing okay, much better than you think in life. Tick the boxes today.
Looking for a life checklist that you can check to see if you’re doing well in life?
Well here it is! Oftentimes we compare ourselves to others and think “wow, everyone else is doing so much better than me” (as if life is some sort of competition).
The truth is it’s not unusual for a person to think they’re doing worse than they actually are. However most of the time we are too hard on ourselves and can’t see the progress we are actually making – unless we go looking in the right places for it.
If you feel like you’re working hard with little to show for it, I want you to know you’re probably mistaken.
Chances are you are doing a lot better than you think!
Consider this life checklist below to be a list of positive signs to watch out for. If you’re actioning any of the following then you’re doing well in life.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 1 – Every mistake and failure provides you with an opportunity to learn something new.
If you aim to learn something new from every failure and mistake you make, then you haven’t lost anything.
Instead you have gained something new and are constantly growing my friend. And that’s a great thing!
- Most people repeat their errors over and over, whether it’s overspending or choosing a partner.
- People have a strong tendency to repeat their negative behaviors.
- But you can choose to act differently than you did the last time you were in a similar situation. You always have a choice my friend!
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 2 – You’re clear on what you want.
This can be half the battle.
You have a huge advantage over the competition if you know what you want.
Most people are aimlessly floating through life.
But when you are clear on your WHY and what you want (even if you aren’t there just yet), you are probably doing much better than you think!
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 3 – You spend your time wisely.
Time is so precious and when you spend your time well, good things happen.
Spend your time poorly and you miss the opportunity to make constructive changes in your life.
- When deciding what you’re going to do next, ask yourself what the best use of your time would be. Then, do it. Spend your time wisely because there are only so many days you have left on this earth.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 4 – You’re making regular progress.
Consistent progress is a great sign.
Even if you feel like you’re lightyears from your goal, all you need is regular progress.
Just take one baby step at a time in the right direction and you will eventually get there.
All you need to do is make sure you are heading in the right direction.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 5 – You’re consistent in your efforts.
Successful people put in some work on a daily basis. Success isn’t about working really hard for a day here and there.
- Being consistent in your efforts means that you’re sticking to your goals. Working for a week on one goal and then changing your mind and working on something else is a path to nowhere.
- You need to know your ultimate WHY and use that information to fuel your passion to achieve your goals.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 6 – You’re not alone.
There are people that are alone in the world.
If you’re not alone, you’re doing better than many others.
Be grateful for the friends and family you do have by your side.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 7 – You’re optimistic.
When you’re optimistic, there’s hope.
When you’re optimistic, you’ll take action.
Conversely, when your expectations are low, you quickly become stuck, because you believe your efforts will be a waste of time.
Optimism is a gift and when you have it – a fire in your belly to achieve more out of life – you are probably doing better than you think.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 8 – You’re determined.
Commitment is a great sign that you’re going places.
Good things happen when you’re determined.
In fact, determination makes you unstoppable in the pursuit of your goals.
The coolest thing is that optimism is FREE!
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 9 – You’re not worried about the opinions of others.
If you care too much about what others think, you’ll prefer to play it safe, and you won’t do anything significant.
Honestly this is one of the first things I encourage you to do – not give a hoot what other people think!
- Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.
- Other people’s opinions of you don’t matter! When you realize that other people’s opinions have no control over your life you become free.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 10 – You have a dry, warm place to sleep.
If you’ve ever had to go without this, you know how nice this is.
If you don’t have to deal with this situation, then you’re doing better than you think.
LIFE CHECKLIST
Let me give you an attitude adjustment right now.
- If you have food in your fridge, clothes in your cupboard, a roof over your head and a place to sleep in, you are richer than 75% of the world.
- If you have money in the bank or in your wallet and some spare change to share, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
- If you woke up this morning feeling healthy and not ill, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.
- If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the torture of imprisonment or warfare or the pangs of starvation, you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering.
- If you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
- As you waste your breath complaining about life or another terrible problem, someone else out there in this world is breathing their last breath.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 11 – You have a job.
A steady income is a great thing.
Many people either can’t find work or are unable to maintain employment.
But if you currently have a job it indicates that you have the ability to earn an income.
Even if you’re earning less than you’d like, the opportunity is still there to earn more.
Remember you can always change your path or direction in life.
You can always change your career.
This power lies in your hands alone.
LIFE CHECKLIST
SIGN # 12 – You’re healthy.
If you’re basically healthy, you have a huge leg up on a lot of people.
Good health is a huge blessing. In fact it is one of the greatest blessings of all.
Let me be honest with you – our society places a high priority on success, but there are other things that are also important.
Friends, love, a warm bed, the ability to laugh and be honest and show respect and act responsibly are all pretty important, too.
If you’re clear on what you’re trying to accomplish, and you have a desire to spend your time wisely, you’re most likely doing quite well and better than you think.
This is true even if the results haven’t revealed themselves yet. Have faith my friend and you will get there in the end!
