Please guide me about goal setting.

[JC938]

Hello,

I have 3 goals - health, wealth and spiritual.

Should I focus on 1 goal at a time or 3 goals at a time.

I'm really confused here. Should I work on weight loss along with earning money along with meditation everyday or should I focus on just weight loss for a few months until achieved, then move to next goal.

Thanks very much.

In my opinion, health, wealth, and spirituality go together.
This is why so many rich people commit suicide or sick.
But rich people who got a balanced life live longer with a happy life.

It is OK to ask the same question again.
I some times ask the same question many times because the answers do not sink in.
Another thing is we do not study form ansers so we forget quickley.
However your question is valid.

It is good to ask again, but also to be more specific given that the last two attempts did not yield the hoped for information.

The question itself is not easy to answer. The teachings allow for different interpretations:

On the one hand we have:

He is indeed virtuous, wise, and righteous who neither for his own sake nor for the sake of another (does any wrong), who does not crave for sons, wealth, or kingdom, and does not desire success by unjust means.

The above implies that desiring worldly success by just means is in accordance with the practice.

We also have:

One is the quest for worldly gain, and quite another is the path to Nibbana. Clearly understanding this, let not the monk, the disciple of the Buddha, be carried away by worldly acclaim, but develop detachment instead.

But the above is directed to monastics.

i agree with this view.. all three go parallel... maybe OP can try eating good food, weightloss excersie , earns salary with good savings and do meditation by following 5 precept...

Spiritual insight might uproot conduct that ruins health. On that basis there might arise contentment and happiness with life as it is which might support pleasure in work which is the prerequisite for accumulation of wealth.

If my answer is not clear, please ask me a counter question here.
I know some spiritual lay people but they are not successful in their wealth creation. It is important for a lay person to create wealth via right livelyhood.
Some people are very health but they are not wealthy or spiritual. Without the wealth and the spirituality you can't maintain your health in long run.
