Meaning of Life
What is the meaning of life?
This article proffers up an incomplete and highly subjective clutch of YouTube videos on life’s unanswerable question. And if some guilt free YouTube browsing can help inspire personal revelation – so much the better!!
Hope you enjoy them, let us know which one’s your favourite.
It seems to us that the more you look at the big question the less relevant it is to each of us individually. Putting aside any theological angles, for each of us, the better question is perhaps “What is the meaning of my life?” That’s something unique to us all and something we all need to do some quiet work on from time to time.
How does this relate to wealth management? In Take 4 below, the contention is that we can find meaning in four areas:
Continuing the species – love, family and caring
Mastering our minds – self improvement and education
Mastering our environment – human endeavour
Increasing our satisfaction – enjoying our environment, culture, art, religion
Our role therefore is to help you marshal your material wealth to help you realise the most meaningful life possible. Our Sovereignty modelling tool will help you sketch out how your own “Grand Plan” reconciles back to your wealth. Take a top down view and test out what’s possible. Several clients have seen it in action in our office, and soon it’ll be available on-line.
