Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I’ve got a great week in store for you whether you’re Irish or any other nationality!
I’m dedicating the entire week to mastering life, especially when it comes to the three primary forces of time, health, and money.
Today, we’re kicking off with an overview of six key concepts to consider and practice that serve as the foundation of winning life.
Technically, they are all trade-offs.
They HAVE TO be trade-offs because you’re constantly balancing them and sacrificing one for another (or more) to keep the juggling act of life going!
Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s or 70s, these factors apply to you.
It’s never too early or too late to start practicing them…
Time is Your Most Irreplaceable Asset: Time is not money—time is time. You can always earn more money, but you can’t get back lost time. I encourage you to evaluate and consider, “Are you spending your time on what truly matters, or are you letting it slip away on things that don’t?”
Health is the Foundation of Everything: Without good health, neither time nor money can be fully enjoyed. It’s so important to invest in physical, mental, and spiritual health early on because maintaining good health allows you to maximize both your time and your earning potential throughout life.
Money is a Tool, Not the Goal: It’s more helpful and constructive to view money as a means to an end, not the end itself. Consider using money to buy back time (e.g., outsourcing tasks, taking vacations) and to invest in your health (e.g., gym memberships, healthy food). The goal is to create a balance where money supports your priorities rather than dictates them.
The Balance Shifts Over Time—Plan Accordingly: As you evolve through life, the “life account” of each of these (typically) changes. With youth, you have lots of time and good health. With middle age, time shrinks and health might as well while money often increases. In later years, time shrinks even more and your health has a way of declining even as your money grows. If you anticipate these shifts, you can make more effective decisions today to benefit your future self. For example, saving and investing early can provide financial freedom later in life.
Prioritize What Truly Matters: Most of life’s obligations were once choices. This is one of the greatest reasons to regularly reassess your priorities and eliminate what no longer serves you. Consider whether you are saying yes to things that align with your values or letting life’s noise dictate your path.
You’re Always Managing These Trade-Offs: Every decision involves a trade-off. Taking a demanding job may give you money but reduce your time and impact your health. Prioritizing health may mean working less, but it extends the time you have. Constantly be mindful of whether you are making a conscious, deliberate trade-off or just going with the flow.
