Purpose – Passion – Plan

Health, wealth and success are admirable goals – but start with wisdom – and the others may follow.  And don’t be fooled, wisdom is much more than just knowledge.  In fact, absent wisdom, I doubt it is possible to thoughtfully develop and execute a long-term plan for achieving any of the goals you most desire over the long run.  So what is it you really want?

– Wealth?  No, it’s the opportunities and choices money allows, not money for money’s sake.  Many have given up their health, happiness and relationships chasing money, only to find out too late that is was never worth it.

– Health?  No, it’s the feeling of well-being and abilities that health imparts. It’s avoiding limitations that were preventable.

– Success?  No, it’s the feeling of accomplishment and service – along ith a healthy dose of legacy that counts.

What to do?  How about a weekend-long self-retreat?  48 hours contemplating and journaling what it is you really want.
