Successful life is widely used term but what does it really mean? Who has really successful life?
First of all we need to define several categories which influence success in life:
– Health and Fitness
– Wealth
– Family
– Time
Start with Health and Fitness. It is not obvious for the first point of view but without health you are pretty much limited what you can do. Imagine situation where you are wealthy but can’t move out of your bed. This can’t be called success.
The goal in this category is to achieve state where you can do whatever you want without any limitations caused by your body. Staying fit is crucial part to stay healthy and successful overall. Also it provides you ability to enjoy all activities you are doing.
Second and this time obvious is Wealth. Without money you are again pretty much limited what you can do. Moreover not enough money create stress that leads to downgrade everything else together with wealth. Without enough money you cant afford health services, family time and any unexpected event will scrutinize you.
So what is the goal? We want to achieve a state where you are focusing on what you want, not what you can afford. You can do all your activities without money limitations. Next to that you are financially prepared to any unexpected events like need for health service for your whole family or buying new car or moving to a new place. All this without financial issues and limitations. Money gives you freedom and eliminates stress, having enough of them is necessity to be successful.
Family is influencing your feelings and attitude most of the time. Having family where you support each other is must have. It is difficult task because it is not just in your hands, but without that you could be healthy and wealthy but not successful. Issues in family life will keep you down in all other aspects.
On the other hand supportive relationship between all members of your family will help you to go through even the most difficult situations. During our life time all of us comes through health issues, difficult business situations or stressful times. With good family it will be always easier and they will make you motivated, focused and strong.
What is a life without time to live. It is ok to do stuff to keep you in shape and wealthy. Next to that you have to have a time to enjoy the life. For someone business is enjoyment for someone else it is physical exercising and that is perfectly ok. Some of us likes to do something non relevant to these essentials which is also perfectly ok. What we have to ensure is we have enough time to do what we like. Otherwise none of that make sense. Imagine being wealthy and fit but without time to use it in way you like. Many wealthy guys are not fit and they don’t have a time to live. They are just slaves of their own business so they can’t be called overall successful .
Our goal with time is living how you want to live without major time limitations. All of us have a same amount of time. Spend it in way you like. If you want to travel create business that will not stuck you in one place. If you like sport create business where you don’t have to sit 12 hours behind a desk. Do you want to be with your family? Your business shall allow you to work from home. Make it working for you not just for money or someone else.
As you see all categories are important and often are going against each other. To be wealthy and fit cost you time, but to enjoy your time you have to be wealthy and fit. You also need to spend significant amount of time to have great family which will pay back in all other categories.
To be overall successful you have to be good in all of these. It will always be a compromise but none of the aspects can be avoided or even on a low level. After you will achieve high level in all of them you will feel so great you will be almost unstoppable.
