Four life metrics that matter most

By | Life

(Extracted from Barking Up the Wrong Tree by Eric Barker)

The study came up with four metrics that matter most: 

1. HAPPINESS: having feelings of pleasure or contentment in and about your life 

2. ACHIEVEMENT: achieving accomplishments that compare favorably against similar goals others have strived for 

3. SIGNIFICANCE: having a positive impact on people you care about 

4. LEGACY: establishing your values or accomplishments in ways that help others find future success 

… You want to be contributing to the four needs on a regular basis. If you ignore any of them, you’re headed for a collapsing strategy. Measuring life by one yardstick won’t work. Delay any for too long and you’re sequencing.
