The Landscape of your Life2022-01-29
“Do not let making a living prevent you from making a life.”
—John R. Wooden
The dimensions of a successful life are:
- Health of self and progeny (essentially, your genes).
- Wealth (essentially, an immediate environmental umbrella for your genes).
- Influence (essentially, a broader cultural umbrella for your genes).
Everybody is at a particular moment in time somewhere in this tri-dimensional space (Lifescape- life landscape), and has a particular qualitative Life Type. Here they are, with illustrative albeit imperfect names:
| Health | Wealth | Influence | Life Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | High | High | “The Ruler |
| High | High | low | “The Rich” |
| High | low | High | “The Churchgoer” |
| High | low | low | “The Worker” |
| low | High | High | “The Philanthropist” |
| low | High | low | “The Yuppie” |
| low | low | High | “The Activist” |
| low | low | low | “The Serf” |
These types are not fixed but can change over time with efforts or neglect, with good or bad fortune. Tracking them is a way of getting a handle of where you are and where you want to go.
Our Life x Mind by MindX Sciences app does that, and can provide a dashboard for your life and mind.
Live. Happier. Longer.
