ACHIEVEMENTS Achievements pave the way for a meaningful life. Think of ways you’d like to make an impact through your work beyond monetary goals. Consider how you can make a difference in the key relationships in your life. Also consider if your pursuit of achievements is taking you away from the relationships that matter the most.
WEALTH View wealth as a resource for supporting the rest of your personal plan. Instead of just setting aside money for retirement, think about financial goals as the ability to donate to causes and communities that matter to you. In addition, identify money to invest in experiences with family and friends. Focus on how wealth can flow through you in the service of others, rather than hoarding it.
