The Most Important Question to Ask Yourself in 2019

Whether you want better health habits, deeper relationships, an organized home (that stays organized), all of the above, or something completely different, it’s going to require asking yourself one very important question.

When it comes to this, actress Susan Sarandon hits the nail on the head when she said this.

“It’s important to just keep wanting whatever it is you want and fight for it, desperately.” –Susan Sarandon

So the question you must get to the root of, if you really want something to happen for you this year is, “What am I willing to fight for?”

This is a powerful question because there may be a lot of things you want for yourself this year, but which of those things are you willing to fight for “desperately,” as Susan Sarandon puts it?

And realize that the things we’re willing to fight for usually come with compelling reasons (for us, at least) WHY we’re willing to fight for them.

First of all, what does it even mean to “fight?”

The definition I found that describes it best for this context is “to strive vigorously for something” and “to struggle for something.”

If you examine all the things you want this year like better health, lower stress, or taking charge of your schedule, for example, which one(s) are you truly willing to struggle for?

Because if they were easy to attain, perhaps you’d be there by now or maybe you’d have kept them up after you got there in the past.

But, for some reason, if you quit them in the past or never quite managed to start in the first place, it may be that you just weren’t ready, willing, or able to fight for it just yet.

On the other hand, think of the things you have fought for in your life so far – maybe you have a great relationship with your spouse, perhaps you have awesome friendships, maybe you have amazing kids, perhaps you have worked your way up to a thriving position in your career, or I’m sure you can think of other things.

Nevertheless, you probably struggled to get there – none of them were easy to attain, but perhaps you’d do it all over again if you had to because the end result was so worth the “fight.”

So, as you look toward a fresh new year and what you want for yourself, remember the most important question you must explore – “What am I willing to fight for?”

And remember, you don’t have to go it alone. That’s what coaches like myself are here for.

If you’ve been taking care of everyone else’s needs and you’re ready to start taking care of yourself in 2019, then consider reaching out to me for help.

Finally, keep in mind that when you answer that question “What am I willing to fight for this year?” and nothing really comes up that important or urgent to again, be willing to “fight for” that’s in your control, understand that that’s okay, but also, don’t get disappointed this time next year if you don’t have it yet.

Honestly, there have been many goals I’ve set for myself in the beginning of the year that I didn’t achieve, and it wasn’t because I didn’t want it; it was because I didn’t want it “bad enough…” yet.

I did achieve some of those goals in later years when I was willing to do whatever it took to get it.

That’s fight.

And that’s what it’ll take for you too.

Whatever you are willing to fight for this year, know that I’m fighting for things too.

So know that we’re struggling together everyday.

And the most rewarding aspect, you might find, isn’t when you finally get there; no, rather it’s who you become in the process.

It’s your turn to take care of you,
