This is a membership Morsel from “Too Young to Retire”. Today, we are continuing to talk about Life’s Purpose and what really matters when push comes to shove.
It is a fundamental principle of Christianity, and many other religions, that in the afterlife the only real measure of success will be how you have lived your life, not how much money you have accumulated. God does not look at things the way people look at things. Those who don’t believe in God don’t worry about what God will think but they have the same issue, what is a well lived life.
Whatever your faith may be, a good rule of everyday behavior is to live your life so that when it is over you can take pride in the knowledge that you have made a difference in the lives of those who have known you. It’s easy in the crush of everyday life to lose sight of the true riches of life, the things that really matter.
Psychologist Ilona Tobin defines true success as “giving and receiving love, having physical and mental health, enough wealth to provide you with options, and the time to enjoy them all.”
Whatever your personal definition of success may be, make sure that it includes a healthy measure of the truly important things in life. Medals and titles will not count when you get to heaven, but you may be looked over carefully for the sort of deeds you have done.
By being part of the 2 Young 2 Retire you will learn what a well balanced life looks like and strategies to bring yours more into alignment with your goal.
