Chasing Money & Success? Don’t Forget To Focus On What Matters.

Have you been chasing money and success? If so, stop.

When I first started my entrepreneurial journey, I was very money-focused. The more I chased money, the more unfulfilled I became.

It took me a long time to realize that money was never going to make me happy.

Research shows that those who pursue wealth and material possessions tend to be less satisfied and experience fewer positive emotions each day.

Don't get me wrong…. having a lot of money is great, but it's only a byproduct of success.

Ready to discover how to create lasting happiness? Read on!

Chasing money and success is a losing battle.

I truly believe that all of us want to be happy and experience a sense of joy, meaning, and purpose. However, a lot of people have bought into the illusion of happiness. They think that happiness is something that is found outside of themselves. This is a lie.

You can be happy at this moment, regardless of your external circumstances. There are people in this world who have nothing, whether they are broke, in debt, alone, sick, or even dying. Yet, regardless of their circumstances, they have decided to find joy in life. Conversely, there are people who have all the money in the world. However, they aren't fulfilled. It may appear that they have it all on the outside, but deep down, they are miserable.

Why are so many successful people still unhappy? One researcher believes that it's because they go about measuring mastery in the wrong way. They use social comparisons to determine their level of accomplishment instead of doing the work to create inner happiness. Once they ‘make it' in the eyes of their peers, they continue putting everything that they can into that one area of their life, but neglect other areas in the process.

In my work, I believe that if you want to succeed in life, you have to give equal weight to each area of your life. This is how you will ensure that you are making progress and living a life of balance. I refer to this as the Life Mastery Blueprint.

These are the 10 most important areas of my life:

  1. Body (health and fitness)
  2. Mindset
  3. Emotions (psychology and beliefs)
  4. Relationships (intimate)
  5. Business/Career
  6. Money/Finances
  7. Family
  8. Social/friends/fun
  9. Contribution
  10. Spirituality (religion, meditation practice)

Each area influences one another. If you have an imbalance in one area, it will negatively affect another area. As an example, if you have all the money in the world it won't matter if you aren't healthy. Your health is the most valuable thing that you have. No amount of money can buy back health. I think we can all agree that the goal should never be about being the richest man or woman in the graveyard.

Instead of achieving happiness, what if you happily achieved? The most effective way to do this is by creating a powerful morning ritual that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. When you make your happiness a top priority, you will naturally create success in your life.

Don't forget to focus on what matters.

I encourage you to make happiness one of your top values in life. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that money will make you happy because success without fulfillment is failure.

Choose to be happy, regardless of what your outside world looks like. Everything that you've ever wanted is already inside of you. In the words of Marcus Aurelius, “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” When you master your mind, you master your life.
