1. Peace of Mind

What do I mean by this? Well you must have freedom from fear, guilt and anger about what's happened to you in the past. You must take responsibility for your future and that means not allowing mistakes in the past whether you caused them or not to continue messing your life up today.

This might be very hard for you, but it's got to be done.

2. Financial Security & Freedom

This can be a tough pill for some people to swallow. But...
You have to save yourself before you try and save the world!

It's very sad talking to people who have all these wonderful dreams about how they're going to change the world OR the lives of the people they love for the better and yet they can barely pay their own bills.

You must get into a position of wealth first before you have the ongoing freedom to act in the interests of other people.

It took me years to fully grasp this.

3. High Levels Of Health & Energy

Let's be brutally honest, are you getting enough exercise?

I know I'm not. (Note to self!)

It's a fact that the more active you are the more healthy you are, the more energy
you have and the more success you'll have. This is a big one in my book.

4. Loving Relationships

The better and closer your loving relationships with others are, the more stable and successful you'll become. However, If you are around people who are a bad influence on you then you're hurting yourself far more by getting even closer to them.

Sometimes tough choices need to be made or boundaries have to be enforced. It's never easy but you'll thank yourself in the long run.

5. Worthy Goals & Dreams

This may be number 5 on the list but I think it's the most important. And not only having goals is crucial to your personal fulfillment but KNOWING how to set them is the key to your success because all the other traits can be sorted out by discovering your dreams then setting and reaching your goals.

Practically anything can be achieved by setting goals the right way. Go for it!
