The Personal Success Wheel defines the seven areas that together add up to a happy, successful life. 

Yesterday, we looked at Financial Success, Professional Growth, and Deep Relationships.  Today, we will look at Giving Back, Spirituality, Intellectual Stimulation, and Physical Wellness.

Consider these questions while you are examining each segment:

• What areas do you see in yourself that could be strengthened? What knowledge, experience, training, and personal relationships do you need to get there?
• What steps do you need to take to make sure you have no regrets at the end of your life and career?
• What area of the wheel do you think most needs your attention right now and why?
• Where do you want to be ten years from now in your career? In your life?
• Three years from now?

4. Giving back: Our philanthropic outreach—what each of us can do to contribute generously to others throughout our community and the world

Examples: Tithing, making a commitment to volunteer weekly, becoming politically active

5. Spirituality: Exercising beliefs and participating in activities that take you outside yourself and connect you to a higher power

Examples: Attending church regularly, spending time in nature, participating in a yoga retreat or home practice

6. Intellectual stimulation: New learning and experiences that stir the mind

Examples: Learning to play an instrument, boning up on a new subject, daily Sudoku, travel to new destinations

7. Physical Wellness: Issues related to health, fitness, and prevention

Examples: Losing weight, quitting smoking, improving fitness, eating healthier

Questions:

• Do you exercise or have a fitness activity?
• Is there an area of wellness that you want to work on?
• What do you do to unwind?
• How do you recharge yourself?
