Wealth Creation Blog

By now we’ve got a pretty comprehensive plan for setting appointments for wealth creation. To give one last word (maybe…I can’t promise I won’t be inspired to write more if I think of something later) I’d like to remind you that as you make these modifications to your schedule and priorities, remember to prioritise all the important aspects of your life, and not just the priority of making time for wealth creation.

Make Time For A Balanced Life

One of the things that [Name Withheld] talked about in his videos was making sure that you do not just build wealth and focus solely on that while ignoring other important life aspects. In order to live our best lives, we need to not sacrifice the things that really matter—things like health, family, and relationships. We need to make sure there is a balance there, and attend to all of these important life factors. As we talked about before, when you sacrifice one for another you effectively kill off a part of yourself and your life; and that is a part of your life that you cannot be guaranteed to get back.

Cut Out The Fluff

This is hard to do, I know. But life is not an either-or proposition where we attend to one thing at a time. There are a few priorities that always need to be attended to. It’s important for your best life to find out what those are and to make the time for all of them. Cut out only the things that do not matter, that are negotiable. Take some care in doing that so that you can balance out a life of success and happiness. Balance your schedule to balance your life and live a wealthy, fulfilling, prosperous life all around.

Going back to the [Name Withheld] video from yesterday, stop and think about one point that [Name Withheld] made in regards to life balance and sacrifice.

If you recall [Name Withheld] and I were talking about the importance of balancing the focus of your habits, routines, and efforts. He talked about how often times people would focus on one thing or another, but not the whole balanced picture. For example, as I had done, people will often put their work or career first, and throw all of their effort into that, and then once they have accomplished one thing to a degree they feel is satisfactory, they will then shift some of that focus onto health, exercise, and so on.

The Danger Of Intent Focus

Many people get a sort of tunnel vision with their efforts to create wealth and so on, to the detriment of some other important life factor. We’ll sacrifice good health, or sleep, or something so that we can focus intently on the one goal. The problem when we do that is that we throw off our life balance and, as [Name Withheld] says, we kill a part of ourselves, at least for a time, and possibly permanently.

The True Meaning Of Sacrifice

We tend to think of sacrifice as a noble act. But let’s think about that definition of sacrifice that [Name Withheld] gave us. The word sacrifice has as its root “to kill”. Even modern definitions are riddled with negative words, like “abandon”, “give up”, “loss”, and “giving up something of value”. A key to the definition is the word value; if it is not valued, it is not a sacrifice. It hardly seems sensible to give up something of value when you are trying to create value in your life and build wealth.

Creating wealth does not mean you have to sacrifice value in your life. There is a difference between replacing negative habits and worthless actions with sacrificing ones of value. Wealth creation is a whole-life proposition, and so our aim is to strive for that balance that [Name Withheld] talks about and create a whole life of good living, without the sacrifice we’ve become to accustomed to living with.

Start today to achieve you best life balance, and give yourself the freedom to live well in all regards. Life has been too much about sacrificing, now make it about living!
