lifestyle component

----------------------------
the extent to which your legacy will help you to
create and organize your goals, and boost your motivation
is going to depend upon how much detail you give to the
picture of your ideal life. This picture of your legacy
often develops over a long period of time, but you can get
a decent handle on it by thinking about the following
lifestyle components:

1) People - what kind of people do you value, feel
comfortable with, get excited about spending time with?

2) Passion - what is it about life that enlivens you and
fills you with energy?

3) Purpose - what is it that brings meaning to your life or
gives you a sense of fulfillment?

4) Responsibilities - what kinds of responsibilities are
you comfortable handling in your life, whether they be
personal, professional or spiritual?

5) Career - what manifestation of your abilities, purpose
and passion would best fulfill your career needs?

6) Values - your values are your needs and desires, ranging
from your most basic physical needs to those that dictate
your relationships with your friends, loved ones,
co-workers and the environment at large. What are your
values?

This list here certainly isn't exhaustive, but it's a good
start. Not only will it help you to fill out the picture of
your career, but the relationships you develop with your
self and your loved ones.  Because this picture you're
developing is your life's goal, I recommend, just as with
any goal, that you write it down. Or, if you are
artistically driven, you can draw it, paint it, sculpt it,
or make it physical in whatever way works best for you.
However you do it, don't allow your legacy to remain just
an idea! Your legacy will be much more motivating when you
can look it in the face each and every day.

Knowing that you have a purpose and that you are living
your purpose every day is a wonderful thing. It makes me
spring out of bed each morning, energized and excited! How
many people do you know that look forward to their day,
every day, in that way? So take the time to map out your
legacy today. You'll be giving yourself a path to personal
development with a purpose and that's a path to success!
: "the fastest way to get where you want is to be
happy with where you are."

Believe it or not, this mindset works! It may take some
changes and soul searching on your part, but in the end,
it'll be more than worth it to adopt this positive
mentality.
