Evaluation: the act of ascertaining/ fixing the
value or worth of.
There
is a piece that says: ‘you don’t know the
value of what you have been missing till it comes’ and ‘you do not know the value of what you have till its lost’ – Evaluation!
Evaluation
is the second recipe of the deal for the meal. After you have monitored the
deal, knowing the why, when, who, what
and all, there is a need to evaluate all these informations.
Remember I told
you in the last blog post, ‘when you are
not informed you are deformed’,
I want to boldly
say; ‘when you are informed you need to
be reformed’ and that one recipe that brings out reformation from
information is Evaluation.
Information +
Evaluation = Reformation.
Information
without evaluation makes you malformed.
Of a truth you have the information at hand, you cannot
perish like the scripture (Hosea 4:6) said
but you can be misinformed.
Evaluation is seeing the
worst and best of a career/business/job, which comes after Monitoring!
OR
After monitoring that
career/business/job, that process you go through to ascertain and fix a
value/worth on the job/career/business is Evaluation.
That
means what interest me differs from what interests you and your
Evaluation determines your End-Valuation (Smiling).
Everything
you have been passing through, wisdom requires of you to see as monitoring; the
gathering of information. Information here has to do with all about us- How you
were given birth to (the scenarios and situations surrounding your birth), how
you schooled (your education time-line), how you ventured into relationships and
the type of relationships, how you got that job, why you chose that career/
venture into that business. All these call for monitoring which we have
discussed. But much more than just monitoring what God and nature expects from
you and I is Evaluation!
Not all
career/job/business is god for you, not all relationships are meant for you
even the ones you felt was….. this you
learn after you have evaluated.
If you do remember the scriptures we read last week:
Matthew 13:44-46.
44 Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a
man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he
hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he
had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought
it.
The
first man had to hide the treasure back after he has evaluated all he had been
monitoring, the second man did the same
thing too.
Monitoring made them
discover it while Evaluation made them ascertain the value of the treasure and
pearl and fix a worth on it.
How much of the information around you have you exhausted and evaluated ?
What are you doing with your life? Have you found a deal??
Take
it upon yourself today to evaluate yourself, that career/business/job, that
relationship (it’s a business too- smiling).
Remember
when you Evaluate you cannot De-valuate.
Remain fulfilled.
