In Control?

Want to lead a happier, healthier and wealthier life? Start by practicing self-control.
By Robert Kiyosaki
Entrepreneur Magazine - October 2006
(exerpted)

Most of us have heard the phrase “health, wealth and happiness.” But what actually brings health, wealth and happiness? Is it success, and success alone?

So, my thought for you this month: Are you becoming healthy, wealthy and happy? Or are you sacrificing these ideals for success?

Most of us know what to do when it comes to our health and our wealth. Health is primarily about diet and exercise, and wealth is about earning and investing. But happiness is a bit more mysterious. We know to think positively, but thinking positively instead of realistically can have tragic consequences. For example, positive thinking won’t prevent you from going bust if you’re foolish with money, and it won’t reduce your percentage of body fat.

In fact, it’s often the pursuit of happiness that causes the most problems with health and wealth. Many people are obese because they eat and drink to feel happy. And others shop to feel happy, even if it means maxing out credit cards.

Many books discuss the subject of being happy and the factors that affect happiness. One factor in particular helps entrepreneurs lead happier, healthier and wealthier lives: self-control. I’m happier if I have the self-control to do the right things even if I don’t want to do them.

...hopefully, I have the tenacity to do what I know I need to do. That’s the only way we won’t forfeit our health, wealth or happiness in our pursuit of success.
