What's your focus for 2010?

Have you thought about what it is you want to make happen this year? Most people seem to want one of three things; love, money or better health. Some people have a strong belief that you have to sacrifice one in order to get the other. As in, if I really want to make a lot of money, I may need to give up time with loved ones and also sacrifice my health in pursuit of financial abundance.

It can leave a person thinking that in order to have love and good health, the pursuit of wealth needs to be missed out. Perhaps – but perhaps not. Maybe it's just a matter of priorities and focus. What if we placed 'love' as the number one priority in our life? Would this make a difference? It might look something like this; experience a greater level of love in your life through loving yourself and those you care for, take care of yourself and your health as a function of this self love and as a result of this love create abundance in all areas of your life – including your finances.

Thinking holistically for a moment, one piece cannot be out of place without having an impact on the other. So, yes, pursuing wealth without a firm foundation of love and good health in your life will often skew the balance in your life. Witness the countless celebrities who have wealth beyond most of our comprehension and yet, fail to achieve the other aspects of a good life; love and health.

Focusing on what is most important to your life may come down to focusing on what is not in balance. Where have you placed your focus? If the answer is 'wealth' – how is your relationship with your self? If the answer is 'health', how is your relationship with your self? If the answer is 'love', how is your relationship with your self?
