For the last 25 years or so in the western world there has been a huge emphasis on success. As the west becomes more affluent, we have begun to expect our lives to be filled with success in every area-whether that be financial or familial, social or physical.

We expect success.

At the same time there has been a growing understanding that success in one arena doesn’t necessarily translate into success in all arenas. A business leader seeing his family disintegrate while his career soars; An esteemed academic losing his health at too young an age.

Often "success" is one-dimensional.

I truly believe most of us want much more than one-dimensional success, we want the resources, health, faith and relationships to enjoy the few years we have here on earth.

After studying success for the last 20 years, I believe I have seen common definitions of success for each area of life-and I believe most of us can achieve a reasonable and fulfilling level of success in every area. Here is the definition I have found:

Whole-Life Success is:

When we are spiritually in tune with our own deeply held convictions;

When our family is happy and healthy;

When we are mentally sharp, peaceful and optimistic;

When we are physically healthy, fit and attractive;

When in our relationships with others we are experiencing and giving love and encouragement;

When financially we have more than enough.

Over the next several weeks I am going to be breaking each of these down to help you experience greater levels of whole life success.

In the mean time I am interested in seeing how you see whole life success. I have put together a 3 minute success survey you can access here:
