Have you heard of the hymn: "How Firm a Foundation"? Or when we think about buildings, there is always a foundation. If the foundation is not solid, the building will not stand.
As I think about it now, what is the foundation for each of us? It is you. Your mindset, your life experiences the people you have met and the roads you have taken make up your foundation. As I look back on my life, I made some good decisions and some bad decisions. But I would not change any of them because all of those decisions bring me to this exact place, and I am happy with where I am. Life is not perfect, and the foundation needs to be shored up from time to time.
As you look back on life, how secure are you with who you are? We can't go back and make changes, but we can adjust as we move forward in life. Up from that foundation are 5 pillars:
Faith, - Where are you spiritually? Do you believe in something higher than yourself?
Family/Friends - Relationships matter. Are you pouring into those relationships?
Fitness/Wellness - Are you moving? Eating well and managing stress?
Finance - Money can bring stress - the lack of money or not knowing how to manage your money and debt.
Fun - What do you do to ensure you have a "Belly Laugh" every day?
I would like for you to assess where you are as you think about your life today. I will over the next four weeks delve into each of those pillars to help you plan for the rest of your life. If you are doing well in each of those areas, life will seem better. The hard stuff will come. The hard stuff always comes, but you will be well prepared to handle the hardships and celebrate the victories.
