My 25% Theory is completely unproven, strictly developed from my own personal observations of my own life, along with friends, family and strangers but time and time again, I find my framework to be true.
Here are the 8 pieces of life (that we all in some capacity experience - according to J.Styles):
1. Self – Belief in self, self-esteem, love for thy self
2. Spirituality – Strength in faith and belief in God through all things (or whatever spiritual belief you subscribe to)
3. Family – Circle of family filled with unconditional love and support
4. Friends – Supportive circle of friends to share memories, experiences and advice with
5. Love – Soul mate, best friend, husband/partner, provider
6. Finances – Financially secure and have financial abundance; financially free of worry
7. Career – Fulfilling career
8. Health – Great health
Most of us experience at least 6 of these categories more easily. I am not proposing that the 6 categories that come more easily to you fall on your lap or that you do not have to work hard to attain them, but ultimately I am saying that they are not the source of your life's struggles. Then, there are 2 areas that you struggle and long for; 2 areas that require you to draw up your faith more deeply - 2 areas that you struggle with no matter how hard you work. These areas are not stagnant. They could change from month to month, year to year, etc.. However, on average I am proposing that the average person is always striving for 2 areas in their lives to improve, while simultaneously being grateful for the 6 areas that are working together in their favor.
Digest what I am proposing. Start to look at your own life and others you know (or don't know). How does my theory hold up? What do you think?!
