Health + Wealth + Love = Success

Hey Ya'll,

Alright, I'm not that country but I was born here and I love it here! While at work here at my parent approved career I started thinking about something extremely serious. This serious thing gets little exposure in our dating community but is really the core that things should be built around. I know that Erik von Markovich, and Neil Strauss touch on it some but it's casually mentioned. I want to bring this to light for you all in the darkness.

There are 3 areas of your life that you need to focus on in order to be happy and have success. Unfortunately because of the 3-way scale if one is out of balance it throws the other two off.



Let's look at each of these for a moment starting with LOVE. "....the greatest of these is love." is a great quote to start with. That is where my teaching extended and the teachings of others in this community. We have articles, books, blogs, coaches, bootcamps, workshops, consultations, phone in help, forums, and more to support this. There are all kinds of things you can do to become better at meeting people, all the way to being in a relationship. If you recognize areas in your life that you need to improve upon then do them! Most of us, see them and dismiss them just as quickly. Why? Generally, as a society of people we have been taught it's okay to be different, and it is okay to be lazy. You have to personally desire a change to make it happen!!!
Remember, this love doesn't have to just come from the opposite sex this extends to friends, and family members are well.

WEALTH, I don't even want to get into how many books, articles, etc. have been made about this subject as well. Even though wealth in itself without the other aspects will start to make you happy you will feel something is missing. How many movies and books have been written just about that facet of life alone? What I am getting to is what are you doing to improve your financial situation right now? Are you investing, building a business, finding a better job, or something else?

HEALTH, this is probably one of the hardest ones to work on of the 3. In each case you have to admit a little bit of defeat in that you haven't been doing what you could have. I have definitely not been the spokesperson for this cause. I was a smoker for many years until I recently quit. I am going to start working on other aspects of this, but I have much work to do. What can you do to start helping yourself? Whether it's cutting out that extra meal, quitting smoking, or starting to walk more it's a positive step in the right direction. I can't say it enough that you have to want and welcome the change in your life. This does not just limit yourself to physical health, but mental as well. If you need to speak to a psychologist or psychiatrist then please do so.

SUCCESS IN LIFE, This is a combination of all three. It seems that when one of the rises up it's hard to truly enjoy it without the others. As I mentioned before it's very much like a 3 way scale. IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK TO GET US WHERE WE WANT TO BE! Nothing comes easy in this life if you haven't already noticed, so go out there and get it.

If you are struggling in your love life, how are your wealth & health looking? Start working on the other aspects and it's amazing how the others start falling into place. Only work on one of them, and the others will cause you sticking points.

*Special thanks to my girlfriend for pointing out that aspects of my life need attention to find personal happiness.* We all loose sight of our goals in life, but it's finding them, and going after those goals makes life worth living.

Peace & Love All,

Jon
