Life Lesson #2 from my 40 Lessons @ 40 post.
Key life decisions matter. Take the time to get them right, with the information you have, but you’ll never have ALL the pieces.
Key life decisions are obvious, and a bunch pop into my mind.
You have decision making control over…
College
Career Management: Environment, type, location, compensation level you’re satisfied with, autonomy…
Friends/who you spend time with, how/if you build relationships
Family: Relationships with your kids,spouse, extended family
Financial: When to save, how much, where to invest
Leisure pursuits
Location, where you live & play
Degree of “risk” in your life
Your attitude towards life
Your ENERGY LEVEL you apply to various aspects of life
Sometimes a tweet, those powerful little 140 character soundbites can bring it all home. And this one does.
As F’ing Perfect states:
Be with the person that brings out the best in you.
Is there anything more important, especially for life’s Hustlers than to be with someone that gives you every shot to maximize your potential?
It would be painful for me to think about NOT having that person in my life. Sometimes in life, especially in matters of the heart, your decisions are not rational, logical or “pro and con” lists on legal paper. You just kind of go with them.
BUT, if I were single, this would be my #1 criteria for a Spouse “decision.” I thank my lucky stars my wife checks this box, 10 times over.
Having a secret weapon in life is not cheating. It’s smart.
