I am on a journey. I am in the process of achieving the life I want for myself. Yes, like everybody else, I want to attain the life of complete financial freedom. For me, financial freedom is having both the time and money so I can do those I love and like doing, so I can have those I love and like having and so I can be the person I want to fall in love with.
Along my journey, I encountered Covey's four key dimensions of life--body, brain, heart and soul--the "to live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy." The book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People waked me up. It made me realize that to deal better with life especially in life's challenges, is to keep one's personal self sharp. This means regular renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life. From that time I encountered Covey's book, it is the "Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw" which impressed in my mind the most.
So from that day and onwards, I made the "To live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy" as my credo or creed in life. I decided to explore learnings in these four dimensions and sharpen my saw in these areas. While doing so I discovered that there are a lot of people who are willing to extend their hands, help and reach-out others. At this point, I realized the saying "When the student is ready, the teacher will show up" is true. People are coming to my life and pointing me to the directions and paths that I should take. And, I am very grateful to God for guiding me in my journey.
Every now and then, I am self educating me. I made a self-education program for myself. I categorized the program into four dimensions and daily, I will devote at least 20 minutes of reading, listening, studying, researching or exploring any one of the following:
