What is your Balanced Scorecard for Being Good Human?

Balanced Scorecard for Being Good Human Purpose of Life

Balanced Scorecard for Being Good Human (BSBGH)

I will be turning 50 later this year and I keep pondering very often as to “How am I doing?"

I remember the famous phrase by Robert Frost –
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”

Sometimes I feel that life is both challenging and interesting as we need to play so many roles and juggle between them, and at the same time ensure that we do justice to all.

Balanced Scorecard for Being Good Human (BSBGH) is a Self-Evaluation Tool to measure how well am I performing the role of being Good Human Being.

BSBGH doesn’t have any criteria for the age, the earlier the better.

We can decide the frequency of arriving on the Score based on how well we are doing in our life and how often do we want to look back on how well we have performed on our plan (provided we have a plan). I would recommend to do once in a year. Our Birthday could be the best milestone to arrive on our BSBGH as every year on our birthday we get more wiser.

While I’m suggesting below mentioned criterias / parameters to measure BSBGH, you may feel free to include any parameter that doesn’t get covered or drop any parameter that may not be relevant for you. Also, you could define weightage to the below mentioned parameters / criterias depending upon your Purpose of Life.

My Expectations from Myself…

My Expectations from Myself Purpose of Life
What do I Expect from Myself?
How much do I expect from Myself?
Expectations are Premeditated Resentments!
Are we living our life based on expectations that we have from ourselves?
What is my "Expectation" from myself on my "Achievements" in life - Is it calibrated based on the “Capabilities” that I possess?
What will be my funeral speech?
We all are living a life of uncertainty, wherein, expectation is what is considered the most likely to happen. Importantly, an Expectation, which is a belief that is centered on the future, may or may not be realistic. A less advantageous result gives rise to the emotion of disappointment. If something happens that is not at all expected, it is a surprise, which may be positive or negative.
Higher Expectations: If we are expecting too much from ourselves then we will always be unhappy and demotivated in life, irrespective of our achievements and accomplishments. This, certainly, is an undesirable situation or state to be in, as we will continue to curse ourselves no matter what we have achieved in our life.  
Lower Expectations: On the contrary, if we have lower expectations from ourselves, then we will be satisfied with whatever little we have achieved in life. This may result into a situation where we may not be able to unleash our capabilities and may not be able to achieve possible outcomes based on our capabilities.
Strike the Right Balance: We need to strike the right balance between our Expectations from ourselves and our Capabilities to ensure that we don’t get Disappointed.
Importantly, we could choose a step-wise methodology to keep our Expectations in permissible levels and achieve rolling milestones/targets based on our Capabilities to give us satisfaction in life. Thereafter, after having enjoyed success, we should raise the bar of expectations from ourselves to ensure that we are continuously aspiring for more and growing. Therefore, we keep enjoying and celebrating the achievements and accomplishments intermittently and continue to get positive vibes in life. Therefore, we continue to raise our bars of expectations to ensure that don’t get stagnant and keep growing continually.
“WHAT” are our Expectations in the areas of -
1.     Health
2.     Wealth
3.     Work/Career/Profession
4.     Self Esteem / Spirituality
“FOR WHOM” do we need to set our Expectations -
1.     Self
2.     Family
3.     Friends
4.     Society
5.     Environment
Importantly, we need to ensure that the process of setting Expectations for Ourselves must be aligned to our "Purpose of Life".
Make sure that your Expectations from yourself are Realistic!!!
