I think Life can be represented by this Venn Diagram and the sweet spot is elusive.
Here is my very proprietary depiction of Life (I had to create this in excel!).
The terms are simplified but they notify these areas of life:
Money: career, business, wealth, money, success
Health: both mental and physical
Love: family, relationships, marriage, children.
Every bubble is important. There is parity. You can have all the money in the world, but if you’re not healthy or you don’t feel loved, your life sucks and some even decide to call it quits. Look at how many celebrities struggle with relationships and mental health, despite being wealthy. Or look at Steve Jobs — rich, but died early.
If you are in love or have a good family, but don’t have financial freedom or good health, well, that’s no good either.
If you are healthy but lonely, there is no joy in being healthy.
I am thinking the universe is working hard on making it difficult for us, the human race, to be in the center of this diagram. To make things even more complicated, there are interdependencies between the three circles. Say you struggle in one of them — the struggles easily spill over to other circles. The universe is very smart at making the puzzle…
