"I cannot tell you whether there is a judgment day 'up there.' I can tell you there is one down here, if we have time to face it. Barring sudden death or mental incapacitation, the impending final deadline forces each of us to judge the life we have lived. Regardless of whether we believe in God, most of us in our last months on earth will give ourselves the ultimate performance review."
"Assume you are approaching death. Ask yourself three questions: Did I live the life I wanted to live? Did I fulfill my potential? Did I live a life I respect? We recommend you evaluate your response to each question on a scale of 0-10. Zero is total failure, and 10 is total success. In looking at your response, are you at peace with the numbers?"
Ron Shaich, founder of Panera Bread and successful investor, recommends conducting an annual "Ultimate Performance Review" rather than waiting until life's end. The practice involves three core questions: Did you live the life you wanted? Did you fulfill your potential? Did you live a life you respect? Rate each on a scale of 0-10, where zero represents total failure and ten represents total success. If unsatisfied with your scores, develop specific behavioral goals to improve them. Use your calendar to schedule action steps and plan next year's evaluation. This yearly reflection helps align your life with your values and aspirations before it's too late.
