What is important in life? cultivating meaningful relationships, maintaining physical and mental health, and finding a sense of purpose.

It's important that you notice none of these is finding a career. Though Careers are important like being able to find food to eat without all the other things just a career is completely meaningless except for the food it puts in your mouth.

However, if you have food in your life but you have no purpose, no health (mental or physical) no friends (you might not choose to be alive anyway.

I find a lot of people in life who made their career everything and never got married, never had a family are some of the most miserable (but well fed people I have ever met).

So, life is a balancing act sort of like "Do you have a career? Are you happy with or without a career? Do you have food to eat and a good place to live? Do you have family and friends in your life?

Like I said before: "Life is a balancing act always at best and without all or most of these elements working in your life you might not choose to be alive.

Though this makes complete logical sense to me I often see people thinking that being at a miserable job is survivable with therapy. NO. a Miserable job might not keep you alive if all you are doing is just eating and that's all. However, there is temporary and there is permanent. So, I have always seen jobs as stepping stones to owning my own business or businesses. However, there are many different kinds of people on earth and I'm only one kind of person.

What is important in life generally centers on cultivating meaningful relationships, maintaining physical and mental health, and finding a sense of purpose. Key pillars for a fulfilling life include love, family, gratitude, continuous learning, and personal growth. Ultimately, it involves prioritizing time for what truly matters, such as passions and peace, over trivial stressors. 

• Health and Wellness: Physical and mental health are often considered foundational, as they enable the pursuit of all other goals.
• Meaningful Relationships: Family, friends, and love provide support, joy, and a sense of belonging.
• Purpose and Passion: Having a "why"—a sense of purpose or calling—drives action and provides meaning, often through work or personal goals.
• Personal Growth and Learning: Continuously developing knowledge, skills, and character enhances quality of life.
• Time and Presence: Being intentional with time and living in the present moment is essential.
• Gratitude and Peace: Cultivating a mindset of gratitude and finding inner peace helps manage life's challenges.
• Independence and Security: Financial stability, personal safety, and independence are key factors for peace of mind.

These factors may vary by individual, but together they form the foundation of a purposeful and happy life.
