브라이언 트레이시의 컬럼이다.
삶의 성취나 성공에 관한 이야기인데 분류나 요소들이 잘 분류되고 빠짐없이 모아진 것 같다.
여기서 마음의 평화가 제일 먼저 나온 것이 공감이 간다.
마음의 평화란 무엇일까?
내가 생각한 것에 비해 낮은 평가를 받았을때? 억울함? 욕심? 부족함? 이런 것들을 느끼며 불안해 하는 것? 이런것을 느끼지 않는 걸까?
그렇다면 해결책은?
옳고 그름에 오랜 시간 고민하거나 경험에서 나온 지혜에 근간을 둔 나만의 원칙이 있어야 하고 이 원칙에 근거하여 남이 아닌 나의 기준에 귀기울이고 담담하게 세상을 관찰자적 시점으로 바라볼 수 있는 능력이 있다면 조금 평화로워질 수 있을까?
가치있는 목표와 세상에 기여한다는 것을 느끼는 방향성을 가질 때 행복해 질 수 있다는 말에 공감한다. 다만 이러한 목표를 찾는데 있어서의 접근법은 신중하고 조심스러울 필요가 있다. 이러한 목표를 찾지 못해서가 아니라 날마다 바뀌는 사람의 간사한 마음을 염두해 둘 필요가 있다. 옳다고 생각하는 것을 찾는 것도 중요하지만 가끔은 어떤 것을 옳다고...가치있다고...행복하다고 생각하는 것도 능력일 것...
Make Your Life a Masterpiece
By Brian Tracy
This is the age of achievement. Never have more people accomplished more things in more different fields than they are accomplishing today. More people are becoming successful at a faster rate than at any other time in history. There have never been more opportunities for you to turn your dreams into realities than there are right now.
The Seven Ingredients of Success
Your ideal life is a blending these seven ingredients in exactly the combination that makes you the happiest at any particular moment. By defining your success and happiness in terms of one or more of these seven ingredients, you create a clear target to aim it. You can then measure how well you're doing. You can identify the areas where you need to make changes if you want your life to improve.
Peace of Mind
The first of these seven ingredients of success, and easily the most important, is peace of mind. It is the highest human good. Without it, nothing else has much value. In corporations, peace of mind can be measured in terms of the amount of harmony that exists among coworkers. The wonderful truth about peace of mind is that it is your normal natural condition. It is the basic precondition for enjoying everything else.
Health and Energy
The second ingredient of success is health and energy. Just as peace of mind is your normal and natural mental state, health and energy is your normal and natural physical state. If you achieve all kinds of things in the material world, but lose your health then you will get little or no pleasure from your other accomplishments. So imagine yourself enjoying perfect health, and think of how you would be if you were your ideal image of physical fitness. Then strive for your mental goal of fitness and health.
Loving Relationships
The third ingredient of success is loving relationships. These are relationships with the people you love and care about, and the people who love and care about you. They are the real measure of how well you are doing as a human being. At almost any time, you can measure how well you are doing in your relationship by one simple test: laughter. This is true for companies as well. High-performance, high profit organizations are those in which people laugh and joke together. Examine your relationships, one by one, and develop a plan to make each of them enjoyable and satisfying.
Financial Freedom
The fourth ingredient of success is financial freedom. Achieving your financial freedom is one of the most important goals and responsibilities of your life. A feeling of freedom is essential to the achievement of any other important goal, and you cannot be free until and unless you have enough money so that you are no longer preoccupied with it. When you decide exactly what you want your financial picture to look like, you will be able to use this system to achieve your goals faster than you might have imagined possible.
Worthy Goals and Ideals
The fifth ingredient of success is worthy goals and ideals. To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.
Self Knowledge and Self-Awareness
The sixth ingredient of success is self-knowledge and self-awareness. To perform at your best you need to know who you are and why you think and feel the way you do. It is only when you understand and accept yourself that you can begin moving forward in other areas of your life.
Personal Fulfillment
The seventh ingredient of success is personal fulfillment. This is the feeling that you are becoming everything that you are capable of becoming. It is the sure knowledge that you are moving toward the realization of your full potential as a human being.
Action Exercise
Take the brush of your imagination and begin painting a masterpiece on the canvas of your life. It is for you to decide clearly what would make you the happiest in everything you are doing.
