Today, we’re talking about one of the most important questions we must ask ourselves. That question is: Am I Adding Value? Am I adding value at work? Am I adding value to my friend group? Family unit? The board I’m a member of?

I love puzzles that test my mind. My go-to right now is Sudoku at the “Beware: Very Challenging” level. I find the task of searching for patterns within number grids both soothing and energizing. It may sound odd, but I like working through the frustration of a difficult puzzle, in part because I’ve learned enough about brain science to know that I’m making new neural connections within the ball of gray matter that sits between my ears. I’ve also learned enough about brain science to know that puzzle diversity is the key to a healthy brain—much like muscle confusion has been shown to be an essential element of physical fitness.

In my previous writings, I talk a lot about the benefits of engaging in constructive self-reflection. In my Personal Planning Guidebook, which is a free download on my website, the ability to self-reflect is an integral part of the personal planning process. But what is self-reflection and how can you get the most from it? We’re going to discuss the art of self-reflection over the next two weeks. Today, we’ll focus on the pre-conditions for successful self-reflection, and next week we’ll get into specific recommendations for self-reflection sessions.

Giving versus taking. This is one of, if not the, most important balancing acts we play throughout our lives. We come into this world naked and completely dependent on our parents and caregivers. Throughout our youth, we are, by definition, net takers. As we age, we build and refine a portfolio knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes (a.k.a., competency) with the goal of providing for ourselves, our families, and contributing to our employers and communities.
