We are living through very tough times.  No one is unaffected by the challenges of our current environment. All of us are looking for some measure of satisfaction, comfort, bliss, contentment, and fulfillment. These elements may seem elusive, but can be achieved with the proper balance of priorities in our lives. 

Consider how you are spending your time in these four activities:

• What You Love
• What you Do Well
• What the World Will Pay For 
• What the World Needs

The balance of our engagement in these activities will determine our level of satisfaction, comfort, bliss, contentment, and fulfillment.  

For most of us, it is not likely that we can have all of these at the same time.  The diagram below will help us to understand how the four activities above shape the outcomes in our lives.

There are times in our lives when satisfaction, or comfort are priorities.  For many, bliss and fulfillment are longer term objectives. Others may feel that they will never find contentment.  Where are you on your life's journey?  Which of these outcomes are a priority for you at the moment?

Let us know if this is helpful to you as you navigate the current challenges in your life.
