Our Circle of Life
Humans are complex beings. In order to be happy we need satisfaction both in our professional and personal lives, no matter what we choose our occupation to be. Success- the financial prosperity or a bright career are often the first surface levels that hide deeper and more complex problems- our personal lives, troubles with close relationships, the feeling of self-doubt. We are all aware of people who achieve great financial success just to mask their loneliness or lack of self-confidence. But we are also aware of those like Richard Branson (one of the most respected and richest entrepreneurs in the world, creator of the Virgin brand), who have managed to balance their business with their personal lives, finding fulfilment and satisfaction in both areas.
The more integral we are, the more inner stability we achieve and thus the greater financial success we experience. If our lives are one entity – one circle – then the different areas of it, like finance and career, or home and family, are the parts of it. All parts are important; they create the whole picture, the whole mind and body of an individual.
Modern science of human development singles out six main parts that contribute to our inner stability:
- health and fitness – our diet and exercises
- sphere of ethics and spirit – our values that we live by
- home and family
- finance and career
- education and mind development – your individual way of improving your skills and knowledge
- socio-cultural sphere of life – our social bonds with friends and extended family
All these spheres are important, and closely correlated. One influences the other. You will vastly improve your life if you care for all areas of yourself, and if you set goals for each separate sphere.
When you look closely on all those areas of your life and examine them- when you feel that they do not work, if you already know that you need a change, that something might be better – like your relationships with your family, or your finances – then you must seek new ways to do it.
The process of Writing Down Your Goals
It has been proven that one of the best ways to achieve what we want is to write our thoughts down on a piece of paper.
What happens when you write down your goals? And why is that?
- You motivate yourself by taking action and seeing your intangible desires in tangible form via letters or shapes or colours – if you decide to paint them, for example
- It’s like planning a trip: you write down what you want to achieve so that you can see what steps are needed in order to get there, and you can also see your progress.
- When you write you stimulate your imagination; you need to visualize what you really want.
- The process of writing down your thoughts forces you to be more concise and clear about the purpose of your actions.
- If you can write it you can measure it, and if you can measure it you can achieve it.
- You save time, because writing down your goals gives your mind the clarity and motivation to seek solutions instead of coping with the initial idea: what do I want.
It has been proven many times over that concrete plans bring specific concrete results; vague thoughts and vague plans usually bring chaos and small results…or worse create disability. Your thoughts create reality. What are your next actions going to be?
