The Four Major Areas of Life You Must Incorporate into Your Life for Maximum Success and Fulfillment

There are universal laws that govern our world, regardless of what we think of them and our (dis)belief in them. The easiest that everyone can relate to is the Law of Gravity, which simply states “what goes up, must come down”. Another is the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy can be transformed, but can never be destroyed or created. A third that is quite common is the Second Law of Thermodynamics (also known as the Law of Decay of Energy), which states that ultimately everything that is created will decay; move from a state of order to a state of disorder.

In the words of Wallace Wattles (The Science of Getting Rich): “You can act in accordance with these laws, or you can ignore them, but you cannot alter them in any way. Laws always operate and hold you strictly accountable, and there is no least tolerance for ignorance…Once a person learns and obeys these laws, he will be enriched with mathematical certainty.”

All these laws are governed by a general law: “Energy is”. Ultimately, we are all particles of energy, more specifically light.

In a way, this makes life quite easy to understand. As long as we recognize the existence of these laws and do not work against them, life unfolds naturally. I have written about most natural laws in other articles.

The four main areas of our life are also under the influence of these laws. These areas are:

* Mental

* Emotional

* Physical

* Spiritual

You may like these areas in life as four interconnected circles, eventually overlapping in the middle. A balanced life, a life where “you can have it all”, meets exactly in the middle, where mental, emotional, physical and spiritual practice come together.

There is a two-pronged approach to your personal and professional life: first, there is the general influence of Natural Laws on your decisions and movements; being the Law of Attraction the most important Law to take into account. In addition to these Laws, there are the four areas of life that must be taken into account.

I know this may sound complicated; just know that you’re already living by these “rules”, and you’re probably already using them deliberately, without even knowing you’re doing it.

This overview is not intended to explain and work through the workings of the Universal Laws. The purpose here is to show you that your values ​​and actions are ideally distributed in each of the four main areas of life, in order to live a successful and balanced personal and professional life. That is a pleonasm, in my opinion, since a successful life IS a balanced life!

Obviously, there are more areas in life to focus on, but the four above summarize the basic basics. Everything we do in life has 1) a purpose – the Spiritual, 2) a reason – the Mental, 3) an attached feeling – the Emotional, and requires (not) action – the Physical.

Most of the time, people focus on one or two of the areas, thereby neglecting the other areas of life. For example, a person focused on business success may be intensely focused on the mental and physical—come up with a solid plan and put it into action. That COULD put this person out of touch with the purpose (spirituality, ethics) and with the emotional consequences of this (with no regard for self or others). Another example: someone may enthusiastically focus on spiritual and emotional growth. That can leave them oblivious to “common sense” (mental) and physical health. Both examples may appear to be successful in the areas they focus on, but there will be a price to pay in the neglected areas.

To live a balanced and fulfilling (and therefore effective) life, try to integrate all four areas into YOUR life.

  1. Spiritual: focus primarily on the reason, the purpose of your intention. Why are you contemplating what you are contemplating? What value will it serve? What is the superior reasoning behind all this? If you can find a positive intention/purpose behind everything you do, you will have endless motivation to get the result. No one needs to motivate me to write articles. I WANT to do it, because it is in line with my purpose: to inspire people towards a fuller and happier future.
  2. Mental: Spend a lot of time planning your intention. WHAT you want to accomplish is in line with your purpose. Create an action plan. Consider the pros and cons, cause and effect relationships. Talk it over with people, research it, eliminate or minimize risk, maximize profit. Etc etc. Use your (left) brain to figure things out in advance.
  3. Emotional: what is the feeling you are looking for? What emotional state are you looking for? What is the reward of your intention? How would you like to feel after your plans have been put into action? Think and FEEL also the state you want to reach beforehand; this will ignite powerful forces that will help you achieve the desired sensation.
  4. Physical: What’s the plan? HOW are you going to do things? What resources will you use, what time frame will you stick to? What are you starting on first? How much energy is needed? How much recovery time? How will your body cope? Can you control it? Do you need to toughen up or get in shape? What are the three-dimensional physical requirements and what is step 1?

If you can constantly keep an eye on all four elements, you will achieve whatever you have planned. It will also serve as an accountability scheme and alert you with “dash lights flashing” when an item receives too much or too little attention. You will notice!

Both my personal and professional life began to spiral up once I focused on keeping all four decks in the air, rather than primarily leaning toward one or two of them. The power of a balanced life and perspective is greater than you can probably imagine.

The proof of the pudding will be in eating it!
