Top 10 Areas To Attain Excellence In
Let’s face it. Many of us beat ourselves up on a daily basis. We get trapped into negative cycles, bad situations and find ourselves in dead end jobs and relationships and sometimes can be in a real funk. And the only thing that we can think about it: finding some peace, something solid and becoming good at something. Anything. Some type of hope.
The bright side of this is that, frankly, whenever we find ourselves in this place it really means that we have some capacity to grow in some way, and it exhibits a willingness to strive to reach some goal. Our angst, pain, remorse, shame, blame, and guilt many times are light in disguise that actually illuminates the direction that we need to be going in and allows us recognition of a path.
The fact of the matter is there’s a lot of choices out there that we should be spending time on, however sometimes it’s hard to choose the main areas that really matter the most. I will share what I think are the top ten areas in order of importance.
1. Self Love: If you don’t love yourself it’s hard to attract love, keep love and love others.
2. Self Care: This is all-around care for your temple, inside and out.
3. Self Identity: Whether you realize it or not, you are on an eternal quest to have knowledge of who you are.
4. Self Discipline: When we are little our parents and family guide us but as adults, only the law does so, and so it’s up to us to do actions that we are proud of.
5. Career and Trade: We trade time for money, in order to care for ourselves and loved ones. It’s important to choose a few ways to contribute to society. Dream big early, learn all and focus on a lane.
6. Marriage or Companionship: One or the blessings in this system is that we come into the world alone, but that we can leave with an eternal companion. This would be number one but if the others ones aren’t practiced it will seldom happen.
7. Children: This is your legacy. They will continue your life after you are gone. Prepare them, love them, nurture them, invest in them and leave them the tools, capital and guidance to continue the work. If they don’t like you they will not continue your legacy.
8. Community: Service balances so many of the pitfalls that we normally will fall into in this world and keeps us honest and pure. The more selfless the better.
9. Spiritual distinction: We live 120 years max and move on to another realm. We are eternal beings having a temporary experience so plan according for the journey. Feed your soul daily and the purest and best food (words, love, deeds) that you can find.
10. Deeds: We take nothing with us but our deeds. No one can take that away from us and none can claim ownership over our good deeds done in life. Good deeds is the key to discover the door to your destiny.
