The picture you see is from my John C. Maxwell Transformation Planner. My Rule Of 5 are the 5 things I do every day that are fundamental to my success.

A friend messaged me this weekend asking me about the journal. He made the comment that I should have an acronym for my 5. It got me thinking and as I tweaked my 5 a bit I came up with SLOWR, which is perfect.

It will remind me to slow down as I go through life. It will help me keep things in perspective and enjoy what I’m blessed with as I continue to grow.

Here is what each of them means to me:

Serve – others by helping them reach their goals without expecting anything in return.

Learn – something new every day no matter how small.

Observe – the world around me, Listening is a key skill I have to use in this area.

Write – each day. For example my thoughts, book material or a blog post like you’re reading now.

Read – every day to fill my mind with positive and uplifting words. Today that means Bible scriptures and Maxwell leadership books.

Thank you TJ for asking about the journal and sparking the small change I needed to make.

What is your Rule Of 5? Take some time to think about it and write them down. Share in the comments if you feel inclined to do so.

Evolution of Self!
