Will we live a century? Will we live for the next 5 years? It is not impossible that we have the next 5 days to live? We have two realities to reconcile in life. ONE: we all die one day and TWO: we don’t know when.
Less focus on stuff will lead you to more living!! Life is short – really short! Do stuff that matters!! That is how I ended Part I. Now let’s talk about the second part of wealth-building – managing the difference between “Earnings” – “Spending” = Savings & Investments.
We strongly believe in living an examined and intentional life. Living by design, not by default, means that we continuously prioritize what adds value to our existence over random demands and coincidental developments. This applies to all aspects of our life including work and play.
Let’s use a little imagination and travel to the end of our life. Reflecting on the totality of your life from there, now contemplate the question: “What really mattered in my life?” Would you be proud of how much stuff you’ve been able to accumulate, or how much money you have in the bank?
We all have limited time in this lifetime whether we recognize it or not. There are also limited resources, of course, and the success of living a good life has a lot to do with defining what matters most in our lives and putting our limited resources towards our priorities.
Do you want to be successful in your career and have some ideas around what that looks like? So how do you go about building success in a methodical, intentional way? In this blog, we will discuss how to use SMART goals in order to address your short-term and long-term career aspirations.
We hope you are inspired to design and build your best life – a life examined, intentionally built, which suits your needs and wants, befitting your standards. You will be invigorated by this purposeful approach which will excite you every day until your life’s end when you can say to yourself that you’ve lived your absolute best life with a huge smile on your face.
Meet two ordinary women, of the same income, with two different lifestyles: one earns freedom to choose what excites and fulfils her life at her age 50, yet the other has very little control over her future.
How to live a life that is fulfilling and satisfying is actually simpler than you might think. You already know what makes you happy, what fulfills and excites you so start the process of designing your life with this in mind. You can lead an intentional life and refuse to live a life by default.
I put four words in front of you – stuff, money, work and life. If I ask you to put them in the order of importance, what would the list look like? Conceptually, you are likely to put your life first as the most important and stuff the least important, right? Somehow when it comes to actual living, many of us don’t seem to reflect that order. Let’s expound on that.
