Pillars of a Fulfilling Life: Top Essentials for True Happiness and Growth

It is a journey in life which we determine by the values we live by and the experiences we make. Although each one has his/her own route, there are several universal things that people should take into consideration and aim at attaining a meaningful and balanced life. These are the greatest assets to live and concentrate on:
Good Health Everything is based on physical and mental well-being. Health is something without which other things in life were hard to practice or enjoy.
Strong Relationships Emotional support, connection and joy are given by family, friends and loved ones. Being able to foster good relationships also offers meaning to life.
Self Confidence and Self Love Having confidence and accepting yourself makes you be at peace and strong within yourself. It is important to growth and resilience.
Mission and Divine Fervor Finding meaning in life, that is, having an aim or goal to live by, brings direction to life and has meaning.
Gratitude This gratitude makes you appreciate what you have instead of focusing on what you do not have; this leads to positivity and shifts in your thoughts.
Financial Stability Although it is not everything, money will guarantee some peace of mind and do away with the freedom of selection and plan.
The Learning and Growth Lifelong learning is one of the keys that allow the mind to be sharp and ready to cope, change, and wonder the world.
Time Management Spending time appropriately is one of the ways of ensuring work, rest, and play in a more productive and pleasant life.
Giving Back The contribution of others (either by benevolence or service) creates community and much greater fulfillment.
Spiritual or Inner Peace Spiritual balance, regardless of whether it is based on faith, meditating or self-reflection, makes you grounded and gives you a sense of consolation when faced with a challenging circumstance.
