Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is optional.

In the last 25 years of my corporate life, I have traveled the world and engaged with thousands of people, one common trend I have found is many of us focus our actions on our financial net worth, I have learned over the years this contributes in actions towards the wrong goals.  To get everything we need in life, we needed to focus not on our financial net worth but on our lifestyle net worth. The four pillars of lifestyle net worth that make for a good life are health (body, mind & spirit) happiness, love (family, friends, romance) wealth (financial).  Happiness to me is having a reason to get up every morning and be fully engaged in life. For me my ultimate currency in life is happiness. I take the time to find what makes me happy to fulfill my life. Try it! Understand the things you enjoy doing and the people you enjoy being around with and then enrich your normal environment by doing more of those things with those people. Most of us spend over 50% of our time in our working environment, so your working environment plays an important part in your life and happiness. Today I have the privilege of working with corporations that values its people and I get to enjoy engaging with some fantastic people and teams and management teams that connects with its workforce. Remember “In life pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional”.  Here is to your good life and a happy working and living environment.
