In general terms, there is remarkable agreement in the world on the three elements or ingredients or measurements of success. Virtually everyone would include personal development and health, career and achievements, relationships and family.

Each of us may define these three things slightly differently. Many, for example, would emphasize faith within their personal development, and others would make service and giving prominent among their achievements. But the point is, we all pretty much know that these are the three categories i which we work for success. Like the three sides of a triangle, they are interconnected; each side touches and supports the other two.

Success in only one of the three areas is flat and one-dimensional. We have all seen the shallowness of wealth without health and without family. Even success in two of the three dimensions can lack depth, as in someone who seems to have everything going for himself, but no one to really share it with.

What is interesting is that when you ask people to rank the three areas in order of importance, 90 percent of the souls that inhabit this planet order them like this:

Relationships and Family.
Personal Development and Health
Career and Achievements Yet, when most people are asked to list the three in order of how much time and mental energy they are spending on each one, the list flips:
1. Career and Achievements
2. Personal Development and Health
3. Relationships and Family.
