CHAPTER SEVENYour Peace Plan
Every sports team has an offensive and defensive strategy they use to win. The offense gives the team options to score more points. The defense creates strategies to keep the other team from scoring.
As we work on your Peace Plan, we need to think about both offense and defense. Offense means you are intentionally working on initiatives to increase your Peace levels. Defense for you personally means creating the boundaries and systems you need to protect you, your spouse, or your family from any drama or negativity.
The final Peace Plan at the end of this chapter will help you tremendously by creating an action plan with a minimum of two or three significant changes to create higher levels of Peace and one or two minor areas for Purpose, People, Place, Personal Health, or Provision.
Getting to Your Number
At the beginning of the book, you calculated your Peace Index by giving yourself a 1 to 100% (100% being the highest) for how well you felt about each category (Purpose, People, Place, Personal Health, and Provision). You then added them up and divided them by five to reveal your Peace Index number.
After going through each chapter and working on some ways to improve, I want you to retake the test. Go back through the Peace Index in this graphic, give yourself a % number (1 to 100%, with 100% being the highest) for each category. Aggregate all the numbers and divide by five to get your updated Peace Index number.
