Loving relationships. As much as some people swear they are happy being alone, we need human companionship to feel alive and part of world.

Quality time with family and friends. Everyone thrives when you take time to enjoy important people in your life. Even if you’re a workaholic like me, make sure to set aside time everyday for important relationships. You think that if you do all work now, you can make it up to them later when you’ve made it. Most of time, by time you’ve made it, important people in your life have left. It happens all time.

A way to support all of above. Yep, that’s where money comes in. But it’s more than that. It has to be some- thing you like doing, or every workday will seem like a prison sentence.

Dreams and goals. Without something to strive for, something to live for, we end up in a tedious existence. We need something that keeps fire going – no matter how old you are. How many people have you known who reached retirement only to spend rest of their days in front of television?

Faith. It takes many forms throughout your life. Faith in your God, faith in yourself, faith in your kids. You’ll find many times in your life when you just need to have faith that things will come out ok. Faith is what get us through tough times. It has been proven in numerous studies that those who practice their religion live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

Whenever you feel discontent coming on, do some soul searching and find out what you’ve been ignoring. It may seem like a lot of work to tend to all this stuff. It’s just like juggler. When you drop one of balls, rest come dropping down too. You need to pay attention to all of balls. Instead of a balancing act, let’s call it a Juggling Act!

8. The richest blessings follow those who follow rules and honor universal laws for abundant living: laws for wellness, success, relationships, prosperity, spirituality, and service to others.

9. When you follow rules, life works. If you think you ever really get by with breaking rules, you are only fooling yourself.

10. True personal independence is freedom from reaction—the ability to choose actions and make choices that will influence positively future of our lives and our world.

11. The Creator knows what it is we need to be doing and will provide us with plenty of chances to show up. However, we will not get an unlimited number of chances, and we cannot ever assume that we will have tomorrow.

12. Living serenely does not mean that we deny problems or avoid responsibility for solving them. Just opposite—we find clarity and presence of mind to deal with issues of daily living in positive constructive ways. You cannot control all circumstances in life; however, you can learn from them. You can choose to allow every circumstance to make you stronger, wiser, more knowledgeable, more skillful, and more loving.

You can control your ability to design your life and your philosophies. A philosophy of personal responsibility allows you to live from an inner core of integrity. It will bring a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
