When my wife and I got married, we literally sat down on our honeymoon and said, “What are our goals for the next five years?” There’s something to be said about the actual activity of taking pen to paper and forcing yourself to articulate what you want to accomplish. It forces you to think beyond the simple idea of the ideal job or a desired salary. Interestingly, the whole process helped us to understand that while we both hope for material success, we are more interested in a healthy lifestyle and an improved state of being.
