Over time, we felt frustrated, stressed and not as happy as we would like to be. Why? Because we were not living according to all of our values. In fact, we realized that living a healthy lifestyle and spending time with family and friends is even more important than financial freedom. We also learned that some of our goals were not realistic; we had too many goals for certain values. An additional resource, a book by John C. Maxwell entitled Today Matters, helped us realign our goals and bring balance back to the equation.

We have learned that accountability is a key concept. Coincidently, around the time we considered writing this article, Tom started going to the gym again. Suddenly, he was motivated because he was being held accountable. In addition, we committed to weekends away with our parents.

Journey to the Horizon

We are grateful for LifePilot, especially grateful that we were introduced to it at such a young age. The future is bright. As we co-pilot this journey, we look forward to learning and growing together as we live according to our values.

We wish to thank Peter and Rita for their great example and their motivation to embrace life and live it to the fullest. Most of all, we thank our Lord. He is the source of all of our blessings - past, present, and future.
