The life which is unexamined is not worth living. — Plato (c. 428 – 348 B.C.)
What does it mean to have an examined life?
Do you regularily examine your life? I mean your life not just your goals or strategy.
I think there are times when we get so caught up in pursuing our goals that we completely forget about who we are. We have countless examples of people through out history who thought that the end justified the means.
And then there are some of us who carry bitterness, anger, resentment or even hatred without ever bothering to ask why. WHY?
I know there are times when I just feel angry and if I don’t ask myself why… if I don’t examine what’s going on… I end up taking it out on those closest to me. WHY?
Do we examine who we are and what our assumptions are? Do we ever take a good look at our character? If not, why not? Are we hiding things even from ourselves?
Unexamined!
The big question is how do you examine your own life? Phil Gerbyshak asks some great questions somewhat along these lines. What questions do you ask? When do you ask them and who else asks? Do you tell the truth?
Let’s talk about it!

A couple of days ago uhmm over a week ago, I posted an article about increasing your capacity.
Okay… It’s been a while but I’m working pretty hard to take $100 off Aaron at Todayisthatday.com. I signed up for the 1000 Fists-to-Freedom challenge and I did my first solo flight last week.
Anywhooo… back to the point!
As I think about it now, the questions I asked were actually pretty hard.
What makes you unique?
When you find the key to your uniqueness, you begin to unlock the potential of your purpose. The YOU in you. Finding that key will allow you to focus on your strengths and ultimately achieve what you are created to accomplish.
So here’s a couple of ideas to help you on your journey to finding the few things you should do more of.
- First think about what you enjoy
I mean what really makes you happy. Is it working with people? Is it meeting new people? Is it finding solutions to problems, or creating something that others enjoy? Think about it! - Now think about what comes easy for you
This is quite a bit harder because we don’t usually notice what comes easy. Because it’s just… easy!
But think hard. Here’s another hint. What gets you frustrated when others don’t "get it"? You know the thing that comes so easy to you and you don’t understand why your (wife, co-worker, friend, child) doesn’t get it or can’t do it. Maybe that’s because it comes easy to you.
Also you might want to check out the comments on my last article for some ideas. We’ve got some really unique people who hang around here. 
After you think, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s talk!
