Get These 9 Things Right … Overcome Any Obstacle
Written By: Gail Clifford | Published By: Life By Design| October 10, 2019
When you take care of nine categories of your life, you can overcome any obstacle.
1. Self
Take care of yourself. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. To be able to care for everything else. Be a lifelong learner and gain the tools to work through any issue systematically.
2. Your nuclear family
Taking care of your spouse and kids make your family relationships strong. Tell your kids you love them. Ask them questions. Stay involved. Make sure you and your spouse remember why you like each other so you’ll have a relationship after the kids move out.
3. Your birth family
Check in with your parents and siblings, if they are no longer alive, stay connected with childhood friends. Anyone who knows your history can keep you grounded.
4. Friends
Are your friendships healthy? Do you keep in touch sufficiently? Do you have any resentments that need resolution? Did you leave someone behind when you got busy with your family? The number one chance of an engaging retirement is having great girlfriends. It keeps life interesting.
5. Money
George S. Kaufman wrote, “I’ve been rich, and I’ve been poor. Rich is better.” Live beneath your means and save for retirement – you’ll be happy you did.
6. Career
Are you on a traditional career path? Are you happy with that? Our school systems are set to raise workers, not entrepreneurs. That’s great for most of us. But if you’re interested in a non-traditional career path, find a way to pay the bills as you get it off the ground. Tell everyone else to mind their business and be supportive.
