When I thought about the totality of my life, I kept returning to Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw’s quote: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

The five most important concepts to live your life with a Wellness Ethic.

Live the life you have imagined!

Getting the most satisfaction out of your professional pursuits is synonymous with nurturing the wonderful gift of your existence.

Be kind to your one-of-a-kind self, always.

Bring kindness, compassion, patience, and forgiveness to your relationships.

Every time you choose natural foods, it’s a gift to your body. You’ll even find that their authentic, natural flavors, textures, and aromas engage your senses more than the ultra-processed, homogenized alternatives.

You can control the effort you put into studying for a test, but you can’t control the actual test score you get. You can control positioning yourself to get a promotion at work, but you can’t control actually getting the promotion. Define your objectives by what you can control.

Get lost in the task at hand. Get lost in the moment. Experience flow!

Happiness can be experienced anywhere, anytime, and in any circumstance. Happiness is not an external phenomenon. It is already within you.

The best relationships are between two people who have figured out how to share the intersection of their lives in a satisfying way that creates love and harmony and minimizes discord.

Emotional intelligence is one of the most influential factors in a person’s happiness and success.

The more you focus on positivity, the more positive your life will be.

Negative interactions have the potential to stifle the love between two people if left unaddressed.

Money can be a positive force in your life when it stays centered around enabling well-being.

You don’t have to improve your life on your own. There is always someone out there who wants to help you. Seeking help is an admirable act of self-love.

Limiting beliefs are a person’s self-sabotaging thoughts about themselves or how life works. These deeply ingrained beliefs are usually rooted in fear or irrationality.

When responding to life, the only outcome you should seek is to have your Self-Actualized Genius engage in the moment to move your life forward in a positive direction to the best of your ability.
