Do You Know Your Numbers?

By Shazad

Metrics, Quotas, and Numbers are everywhere in our lives. Some define our attributes like how tall we are, our weight, our BMI, etc. Others define our income, net worth or amount of debt. Do you know your numbers? Do you know the key numerical values in your life of things that can be measured and periodically reviewed?

Do you know the metrics of your health as well as you do your financial portfolio? Do you know how much minimum income you need to be consider yourself a “Rich Person”? Have you been tracking how much sleep you get and how active you are during the day? All of these things matter, to some degree so it’s worth knowing about them.

On the other hand, not everything can be measured in numbers such as how much you love your family, the beauty of a sunset or the satisfaction of doing a good day’s work. Develop your awareness to all the non-quantifiable things in your life that you can’t live without. Do you know what they are and how each of these makes you feel on a daily basis?

Life is made up of many numbers but it’s more than just formulas, equations and charts. Make it a habit to know your key numbers and then learn to ignore most of these to focus on all the many things that you cannot count but mean the world to you.
