Whenever I visit Halifax, Nova Scotia, I pass certain landmarks, locations or even people that trigger certain memories. I quickly become aware of how far I have grown since leaving my hometown. What was once familiar seems like a different place because I am in a different place. Landmarks become Benchmarks.

In Session 2 of The Master’s Program we are introduced to the idea of Benchmarking when we evaluate and plot our Current Conditions in the 10 areas of LifeMastery. These become important markers when we want to reflect back on how far we have come. Bench Trending is where the growth takes place. It is the consistent tracking of goals, behavior and progress made while in the process. Our Fitness Planners capture all of this and are as valuable as they are utilized.

As a facilitator and Coach of The Master’s Program for Women, I have the privilege of observing the life change that occurs every 90 days in our cohorts. It is exciting to watch our Members discover that their desired outcomes are a result of new paradigms and the behavioral change that follows. When we do what we know, Margin increases, strategic behavior is practiced, and acceleration follows. For those of us who are intentionally pursuing LifeMastery, growth and maturity are inevitable.

Here in Nova Scotia, I love reconnecting with old friends and family. I enjoy the comfort foods and visiting my favorite hangouts. But, I know I am not called to camp out here. It is time to pack up and move on as God leads me to take new territory. When we are willing to leave the familiar, we gain the opportunity to emerge in new areas.

What about you? Have you camped out too long in the familiar? It is easy to become comfortable to the point of atrophy.

We all need Kingdom-minded collaborators and peers to come alongside as we pursue new paths. Community is especially important when Bench Trending. Look into the opportunities in the link below to join a new cohort or start a refresh with either the Men’s or Women’s program.

We’re in your corner,
