It’s a question you’ve probably received many times: “How are you doing?” If you were being honest, you would probably answer the question differently than you actually do. It’s rare that you truly think about how your life is going. Whether you’re in school, thinking about your job, or wondering about your love life, you may be doing great or not as well as you wanted to. Most people will just respond, “Fine,” to that question.
But how you’re really doing is hard to figure out sometimes. When you sit down and think about it, how are you actually doing? You may take stock of how many friends you have or whether or not you should be making more money. How you spend your free time is a pivotal component of how your life is going. Nobody can have it all.
So are you living up to your own standards? Let’s take a look at what grade you are getting in life.
What grade are you getting in life
If you're wondering how your life is going, you just have to think about it the same way you'd think about an exam or quiz. What grade are you getting in life? You can break this out into multiple categories, as every life is complex. How is your love life doing? How is your relationship with your friends? How many books have you read? You may not have the answers right away, but for the most part, if you work hard, you'll get them.
You can judge your life on how it's been going over the past three months, six months, or the past year. Maybe you want to think about the goals you have for yourself in the next five years.
If you comment honestly about your life, it will boil down to how you spend your time, money, and energy. Are you spending too much mental capacity on your job? Do you wish you went back to school or finished school?
Do you have the life that you want? Probably not yet. But with some hard work and introspection, you can get there.
