Living a balanced life

Last time we talked about finding your great purpose in life..
Today we’ll talk about the eight areas of concentration:
Spiritual growth, family, community, personal health.
Mental growth, career, financial security — and fun.
You should have goals in each of these areas.
By working on eight sets of goals, you will get more from life.
You also will begin to live a more balanced life.
As a young husband and father, I was highly career oriented.
My precious wife suspended her career to stay at home.
I am eternally grateful to her for that. But I was not fair to her.
I left far too much responsibility for our children with her,
I was the disciplinarian. She was the teacher and encourager.
I missed some of the best days of my children’s lives.
I was so busy getting ahead, I had little time for anything else.
I trust you are smarter than that. Don’t let it happen to you.
Later today, Bill Rogers and I will conduct an important session.
We’ll meet with editors and publishers in South Carolina.
We’ll discuss ways to cut costs and increase revenues.
I’ll share some of those strategies with you in coming weeks.

Finding your life’s great purpose

Last time we talked about how geniuses solved problems.
Today we’ll talk about finding your great purpose in life.
Our Higher Power put each of us in this life for a great purpose.
But this came with no instructions, hints or guidelines.
We have to figure out for ourselves what our great purpose is.
We have clues. What are we good at? What do we enjoy doing?
What natural talents do we possess? Which ones can we develop?
Which subjects come easily? Which ones don’t?
Over the next few days, we’re going to explore this subject.
We’ll give you questions. Your answers will guide you.
Your purpose may seem a mystery now. But it does not have to be.
We all have a purpose. Don’t be one of those who never find it.
Finding and achieving your great purpose leads to an exciting life.
You will feel enriched beyond riches, wealthy beyond dreams.
In achieving your purpose, you will feel fulfilled and satisfied.
As Rick Warren wrote, your life will become purpose-driven.
Next time we will talk about the eight important areas of life.
