PUBLISHER'SLETTER I


t’s a brand new year and the perfect time to evalu- ate your level of fulfi llment or satisfaction in your life by doing a life wheel exercise. The life wheel includes: personal development, health & wellness, fun & enjoyment, family & relationships, career & fi nances, and spirituality. You measure how fulfi lled you are in each area by rating yourself on a scale of 1-10, 1 being unfulfi lled, 10 being completely fulfi lled. Most people will fi nd that they are around a 7-9 in some areas, and


only a 3-5 in other areas. What is important to remember is that if you are low in one area, it will trickle over into other areas and affect them, even if you have scored high in these areas. So, let’s examine each area and give you some ideas to expand your life!


1. Personal development: you become fulfi lled when you reach beyond your intellectual abilities by reading great books, listening to stimulating mes- sages, learning new things and taking classes and workshops.


2. Health & wellness: fi nd new ways to get active, try a new exercise class or sport, go for a hike, dance, whatever it takes to get off the couch.


3. Fun & enjoyment: when you take good care of yourself allowing for rest, renewal and relaxation without feeling guilty, you are ensuring the greatest return on your current and future performance.


4. Family & Relationships: when you reach out by focusing on developing, deepening, and balancing relationships with both family and friends you are enjoying a fulfi lling life. Find the time to have dinner together, play games with your children or have a date night with your spouse.


5. Career & Finances: when you begin thinking of ways in which you can be of greater service to your customers, your employers and employees, you will not only begin to earn more money, it will also enable you to grow intellectually and spiritually.


6. Spirituality: you are expanding your level of fulfi llment in spirituality when you practice forgiveness, gratitude, and mindfulness.


When you expand your comfort zone of what is possible in any area of


your life, you are reaching out and living a fuller, richer, more prosperous life. Here’s to a great 2019!
