Wealth ? The W relating to Money and Finance

•  Money is of course a form of exchange, but it is only an idea, a medium, a concept.
•  What is interesting is not the money but what money can do for us.
•  Money can provide many things, the most important of which is: more options.
•  The way to wealth is to Love People and Use Money and never the other way around.
•  Wealth has two components: What you Earn (Income) & What you Own (Net Worth).

 

Wellness ? The W relating to Holistic Health

•  Health comes in many forms, not just physical, but also mental, emotional & spiritual health.
•  Spiritual is the primary health zone, then emotional, then mental then physical.
•  There are a number of aspects to understanding and gaining total wellness.
•  It is the foundation to all areas of success. Without wellness, all else is useless.
•  All wellness begins and ends with peace of mind.

 

Work ? The W relating to Career

•  A career is not the same as a job, but rather a linked series of productive endeavours.
•  Most people are unhappy at work in some major area (e.g. boss, job content, location).
•  The most common time for suicide is Monday Mornings between 8-9AM. Coincidence?
•  A major career objective for everyone should be: Do What You Love & Love What You Do.
•  If this aspect of life remains unattended, it adversely affects all other areas disproportionately.

 

Who You Interact With ? The W relating to Relationships

•  The best things in life really are free, including the mutual love of your family and friends.
•  Upon our deathbed, it?s spending insufficient time with family & friends that is our biggest regret.
•  Fact: On the whole, married men live happier, longer & healthier lives than single men.
•  Improving the quality and effectiveness of our communication should be a daily goal.
•  If everyone worked to reduce misunderstandings & inflexibility, most wars could be avoided.

 

Who You Really Are ? The W relating to Your True Self

•  This is our essence - who we really are when we are silently alone with the lights out.
•  Meditation is the pathway to revealing and nourishing this inner self.
•  Many of our habits do not always serve us well. Some should be abandoned for better ones.
•  Beliefs and values are 90% formed by the time we are 14 ? we don?t really change after that.
•  Our results in life are largely determined by our own self-image: how is yours?

 

General:

? All aspects of our life are covered by these 5W?s. Many by more than one.

? When we set any goals or measure our success, it relates to one or more of these W?s.

? The first 4W?s in the list largely serve to feed and enable us to realise the 5^th W (True Self).

? We make trade-offs among these 5W?s every day ? but do we do so with real awareness?

 

Exercise:

• Score yourself (0-10*) in each of these areas based on where you are right now [A].
• Score yourself (0-10*) on where you would like to be in 18 months [B].
• Success is the continuous journey to close the gap between A & B in all 5 areas. Enjoy it!

 

Note: Many people believe that a career in MLM can increase these scores and close the aspiration gaps better than most others ? something to think about!

 

* 0 = horrible, rock bottom, could not get any worse; 10 = terrific, wonderful, could not be any better
