FREEDOM TO PURSUE

Too much focus on Resources turns you into a workaholic. Your ability to make an impact and find meaning in life is diminished. The purpose of your life becomes about work, which is temporary and can be taken away. If you don’t cultivate those areas during your life, you will be left feeling empty if/when you stop working.

FREEDOM TO PURSUE

Too much focus on Freedommay leave you in debt or enslaved to others to provide money and basic needs. You also risk becoming self-centered and out-of-touch with the world and people around you. Without giving, your life will feel stagnant, like a lake where no water flows in or out.

FREEDOM TO PURSUE

Too much focus on Giving leaves you in need of “fuel” and leads to burntout. Every output needs an input whether it is money, time, or mental energy. Also, people are fickle. When your purpose is wrapped too much around meeting the needs of others, you risk feeling disappointment.

In reality, life tends to cycle through the circles. Sometimes, we get stuck too long in one circle, either because we think it is most important or because of circumstances. When that happens, we feel the consequences described when one circle gets too big. When searching for our life purpose, it is important we understand that our life goes through seasons, but that we must always be cultivating each circle. Then, with each passing season, we are able to find our way back to balance more quickly and easily.
