• the hedonic treadmill and validation addiction
• aligning goals with values and relationships
• three legacy questions for love, impact, becoming

• reputation versus integrity and the hidden, quiet self
• lessons from end‑of‑life rooms and real regrets
• death as a clarifying lens for life choices
• presence over productivity, peace over hustle
• becoming on purpose through small daily decisions
• faith, surrender, and staying rooted in what lasts

The difference between merely existing and truly living lies in how we approach five core dimensions of life that are deeply interconnected and essential for wholeness.

• Oscar Wilde's quote "Most people exist, few truly live" challenges us to examine whether we're just checking boxes or fully engaged with life
• Living in a culture that celebrates hustle and busy-ness often leads us to believe surviving equals succeeding
• Success and productivity don't guarantee fulfillment – you can achieve much yet still feel empty inside
• Your inner anchor (spiritual health) provides grounding and clarity amid chaos
• Stillness and gratitude practices help strengthen your connection to what truly matters
• Your power source (physical health) includes quality sleep, movement, and nutrition that energizes
• Consistent habits matter more than perfection in maintaining physical wellness
• Your emotional climate follows you everywhere – it's about feeling deeply without being controlled by emotions
• Journaling thoughts and setting boundaries are simple ways to improve emotional health
• Your circle of mirrors (relationships) either reflect your truth or distort it
• Quality connections matter more than quantity – seek relationships where you can be authentic
• Your freedom metric (financial health) is about having control rather than just having wealth
• These five dimensions work as interconnected systems – when one thrives or suffers, all are affected
• Start by focusing on just one area that needs attention this week
• The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of your habits in these five areas

This is your one life – live like it matters, love like it's rare, and lead yourself with courage.
