There's a common thread that I've noticed in all the self-improvement books that have crossed my path. The books always state (in one way or another) that relationships are the key to happiness and a meaningful life. It makes sense - we're social creatures that evolved in close-knit tribes. Our survival depended on the relationships we forged. So with that in mind, I have made relationships my number one priority. I'm mostly focusing on my family, a few close friends, and the small communities in which I inhabit.
Also, after reading Die With Zero, I put a higher priority on trips & adventures with family and friends. It's probably one of the best things I have ever decided to do.
Priority #2: Health & Exercise
Training for the Vancouver Marathon on May 4, 2025
Also have Footstock(10k), the Banff Half Marathon, the Canmore Half Marathon, Moose Mountain 42k, and the Whitefish 50k in the schedule.
Regularly spending time to maintain our assets. This includes our house, vehicles, and finances. But it also includes seeing the doctor, massage therapist, etc.
It's a very unsexy part of life, but it's so necessary and important.
