All of us are earning money and trying to plan for our future. But unless we explore and identify our most important goals, we may earn a Return on Investment, but we will not get a Return on life.
Various studies have shown a direct correlation between having meaningful and passionate goals and happiness in life.
So proper money management and investment are important, but they will be ineffective unless it is linked to something passionate in your life.
To help you identify your important goals you can answer the Three Questions below:
Question #1
I want you to imagine that you are financially secure, that you have enough money to take care of your needs, now and in the future. The question is…how would you live your life? Would you change anything? Let yourself go. Don’t hold back on your dreams.
Describe a life that is complete, that is richly yours.

Question #2
This time you visit your doctor who tells you that you have only 5 – 10 years left to live. The good part is that you won’t ever feel sick. The bad news is that you will have no notice of the moment of your death. What will you do in the time you have remaining to live?
Will you change your life and how will you do it?

Question #3
This time your doctor shocks you with the news that you have only one day left to live. Notice what feelings arise as you confront your very real mortality. Ask yourself:
What did I miss? Who did I not get to be?
What did I not get to do?
