Is it important to you to lead a good life? What does “a good life” mean to you? Integrity? Wealth? Power? The esteem of others? A life which harms others as little as possible? A life that does as much good as possible?
What do you do about reaching YOUR goal of “a good life”?
Two of the blogs I regularly read have good articles on goal setting and personal discipline.
On One Organized Life Blog, Alaia Williams writes about the need to align priorities and resources: Are the things that are taking up your time really what you want? Are you spending time on things that matter to you, or frittering it away on things that don’t matter? She then lists five steps to bring one’s life into step with personal goals.
On Get Rich Slowly, Flexo of Consumerism Commentary offers a guest post, “Financial Success Comes from Within,” on the need to take responsibility for our choices.
Time and money are two scarce resources, and I agree with Williams and Flexo, it is important to set priorities and take responsibility for our choices. Conscious, responsible choices are the only way to reach our goals.
What in your personal discipline and your financial plan, reflects your deepest belief about what’s really important?
