If this scenario sounds familiar , keep reading .
We only have so many hours in a day , days in the week , and weeks in the year . It ’ s impossible to keep adding more and more into your life without taking something out .
But , how do you choose what stays and what to get rid of ? A question to ask yourself is , “ Does it add value to my life ?”
Value is what is most important to us . It ’ s what we are willing to sacrifice our time , money , and energy on . It ’ s what energizes us .
My question to you is , “ What do you value most in your life ?” What are the top 3-5 things that would enable you to be most happy ?
Let ’ s look at an example . 28 | TIBO Magazine - Fall 2016
Lily finds the following values most important in her life .
• Quality time with Family

• Good Health
• Use of my Creativity
• Giving Back to the World
If any one of these is suffering or missing , she will likely not feel fulfilled in her life .
Once you have figured out what is most important to achieving your happiness , then you can begin looking at what fills up your life today . Back to the example .
Lily wakes up between 6-7am , spends an hour on her social media accounts , checks ( but doesn ’ t answer ) emails , gets ready and rushes to work , is late to her first meeting , shuffles throughout the day from one meeting to the next , sits in traffic for an hour , gets home to prepare dinner , answers calls to relatives , returns work emails , watches some TV , and goes to bed between 11-12am . www .
