Life Mastery - Categories :
A Basic, Preliminary Exercise

Schedule some "me" time and....

1.      List your Life Categories.

2.      Prioritize the categories.

3.      Make sub-categories for each priority

      Life Categories are the things you put time, energy and/or money into.  These are the categories in which you are working to create success and mastery.  Some you do every day of your life, and others you do perhaps weekly, monthly or even yearly.   Regardless of how often these are done, it is advisable to set the intention to be truly successful in everything you will write down here.  Print out or pen-copy the text below... Then, list your Life Categories in no particular order:

Example                                                Your List

Relationships                                       _________________

Career and Finances                          _________________             

Physical Health                                    _________________

Recreation and Free Time                 _________________

Mental and Emotional Health             _________________

Travel and Vacation                            _________________

Spirituality                                             _________________

Education                                             _________________

Volunteer Work                                    _________________

Housing                                                 _________________

      Now you can prioritize your list by asking yourself what is most important here.  What is most important is the foundation for the others.  For instance, could you have a successful career if you were physically ill?  Could you be there for your children if you were broke?  The categories that are higher on the list support the categories below.  This is important because most people’s priorities are not well thought out and are usually backward. 

     Here are a few principles to follow when deciding on your priorities:

1.      Invest in yourself first – You are your highest priority.

2.      Seek the Highest – “Seek ye first the Kingdom and all things shall be added unto you.”

3.      Make yourself a strong pillar – Don’t rely on other members of society to support you, be successful yourself and then help others to do the same.

Ask yourself: "Have the people I've listened to about money been positive role models? Has the advice of those who have not yet found financial freedom (i.e. "Money doesn't grow on trees," "You can't have your cake and eat it too...") really helped me through life?!?!-- Or, has it limited me?"  It's easy to change: Spend 3 months learning from Andrew & Matthew in the Prosperity In Your Pajamas course...
