Living through the Success Elements™
Much has been written about finding a harmonious balance between work and life,
and this article does not intend to discredit any of it. It is essential to strike a
balance between the professional and personal. True success is multidimensional,
and if you focus exclusively on work your personal life suffers, and vice versa.
Limiting your perspective of success to the two dimensions of work and personal
life can lead to a lack of balance within both professional and personal success. To
separate life and work into disparate entities misses the point of true success. The Success Elements™There are elements of success that are the building blocks of professional and
personal life. The Success Elements™ principle is founded on the four elements of
Health, Wealth, Wisdom, and Relationships. By achieving balance in all of the
Success Elements™, you can be assured that your success will transcend both your
work life and personal life.Applying the Success Elements™
The application of the Success Elements™ in your personal life is easy to see. If you
focus on Wealth too heavily, your family life will suffer. If you neglect your Health,
all other areas of life will suffer. Even focusing on Relationships too much-which on
the surface seems laudable-can disrupt everything else.So now that we have established that the Success Elements™ are applicable to your
personal life, what about business?Health Good Health benefits more than your personal life. In business, success in Health
will lead to fewer sick days, less burnout, increased focus, greater profitability, and
more energy. Health can also lead to a longer and more fruitful career.Wealth This has the most obvious application in professional life and needs little
explanation. As long as you realize that exclusive focus on any one Success
Element™ can be disastrous, pursuing Wealth is good. Pursuing Wealth, though,
does not imply that money is everything. Wealth is about complementing the pursuit
of excellence in the other Success Elements™.WisdomThe Wisdom element can have tremendous impact on your business life. The
modern economy rewards innovation and flexibility, and Wisdom is about the
continuous pursuit of knowledge and insight. You should seek to constantly expand
the horizon of your skill sets, as this will assist you in reaching your professional
dreams.Relationships At first glance, many think that Relationships only applies to friends and family. But
Relationships also applies to your supervisor, subordinates, colleagues, mentors,
customers, and community. It is essential for business success to develop strong
relationships with everyone in your professional circle. Seek to add value to
everyone in your network.
And by all means, do not forget to build a network!The unique aspect of the Success Elements™ is that they transcend the individual
and can be applied corporately. A company cannot afford to neglect any of the
Success Elements™. Each element has a place in the business world, and balance
among the Success Elements™ is just as essential for companies as it is for
individuals.So ask yourself, is there balance in your life-in all areas of your life?Langston began his career in the international business arena almost 30 years ago,
