Valuable Life Lessons
Here Is What I Learned from Healthy, Wealthy, and Happy People
Notable traits of successful people in various walks of life, based on observations and experience
Reflections on the Lives of Successful People
Learning from the wisdom of successful people is my passion, as their success inspires me to act for growth. I documented 50+ personal stories about the wisdom of successful people who gave me valuable insights based on my observations.
I learned valuable lessons from their transformation. Thus, I want to pass along my learning, hoping their achievements might inspire many more.
I acknowledged that some of us are disadvantaged due to various limitations. However, like many of us, these people also had setbacks and challenges. None of them had a comfortable life, as some might perceive.
Yet, despite their challenges and limitations, they made a concerted effort to improve their health, wealth, and happiness by taking personal responsibility.
Many people want to be healthy, economically independent, and happy. However, only a tiny percentage of the population can achieve these goals.
Apart from the rare luck factor, getting rich is challenging and requires a significant investment of time and effort. Just investing time and effort cannot suffice.
Wealthy people also have a unique mindset and systematic approach to accumulating wealth while staying healthy. In this post, I want to share ten traits of wealthy and healthy people which separate them from poor and ill people.
While studying the traits of leaders, I also focused on wealthy, healthy, and happy people. From observations, most successful people appear to be leaders in their field. However, they also delegate tasks to others if they don’t have expertise.
In addition, even though some successful people are workaholics, others have an outstanding work-life balance. In my observations, those with a better work-life balance live a happier life.
In addition to observing wealthy and healthy people in my circles, another valuable information source shedding light on their attributes was reading biographies and autobiographies.
From these resources, I identified remarkably distinguishing characteristics of wealthy people. These ten outlined traits cover their physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual aspects.
Healthy, Wealthy, and Happy People Taught Me 10 Valuable Lessons
1 — Holistic Approach to Health and fitness
Wise people whom I interact with always pay special attention to their physical and mental health. They make fitness a priority in their daily routine.
These people know that without health, wealth does not mean much. Therefore, they care for their body and mind managing their emotions and controlling their stress regularly.
They maintain holistic health by focusing on the fundamentals like quality sleep, nutritious food, regular exercise, timely recovery, social connections, and scheduling fun.
They take personal responsibility for their health and address risks with intellect and intuition.
2 — Growth Mindset with Optimistic Attitude
Healthy, wealthy, and happy people in my circles depicted a growth mindset with an optimistic attitude. Their beliefs and assumptions reflect positive energy.
Even if they deal with negative situations and setbacks, they keep a positive attitude and optimism for resolution by taking personal responsibility for conditions to grow sustainably.
Optimistic people appear to be less stressed and anxious but more joyful. Thus, optimists seem to live longer.
3 — Working in a Flow State with Gratitude
From my experience, achieving our goals in life requires both hard and smart work. When I used to work hard, neglecting an intelligent approach, I struggled to achieve my goals.
I observed the same situation in other people who struggled like me. The critical pattern I capture from successful people is that they all treat work as a hobby and always produce in a flow state.
Gratitude is an essential tool to achieve the flow state.
4 — Value of Time and Money
Successful people are usually wealthy, paying attention to earning money efficiently. However, they focus on the value of time more than money itself. They see time as money and use it wisely.
In addition, they believe that we can earn money but cannot bring wasted time back. Thus, the most valuable asset for rich people is their time. They use time like using money.
Many wealthy people believe that we can earn and save money, but we cannot make and save time. Instead of managing time, they work on priorities to improve their wealth, health, and happiness.
5 — Methodical Investment Tolerating Uncertainty
Earning money is important but saving and investing are more critical. Wealthy people methodically and smartly invest.
While they keep their income (not wasting them unnecessarily), their primary focus is on investing and growing their money exponentially.
In addition, they invest in learning, personal and professional development, and constantly increasing skills and capabilities.
These wise people take calculated risks by tolerating ambiguity and uncertainty. They respond to the market rather than react to it.
6 — Altruism, Empathy, Compassion
Successful people in my circles demonstrate altruistic behavior. They generously contribute to good causes like charities and help unconditionally those who need their support.
Even though they don’t directly mention karma, they believe we receive what we give.
Approaching people with empathy and compassion improves their mental health and enhances their relationships and spiritual connections.
7 — Personal Responsibility and Accountability
Like everyone else, successful people also face many setbacks and challenges.
For example, entrepreneurs face tremendous rejection of their ideas and resistance to their products and services.
Instead of focusing on setbacks and complaining about circumstances, they focus on solutions and take personal responsibility and accountability for success by reframing rejections.
They take personal responsibility for their health.
This vital trait makes them credible, influential, and trustable.
8- Incremental Growth Leading to Freedom
Freedom might mean different things to different people. However, in this context, I refer to financial freedom.
Like any freedom type, financial freedom also comes with a high cost. Rather than buying freedom, which is not feasible, successful people incrementally grow to free themselves from dependencies.
Rich people know that speed to market is a fundamental requirement of business success. Thus, they don’t focus on perfection. Instead, they produce fast and incrementally. If they fail, they fail fast and cheap.
Most wealthy people create opportunities rather than seek them. Some do both.
9 — Making Timely Decisions
Our success very much depends on our decisions. Accurate decisions are essential, but delaying decisions can be problematic too.
Successful people make quick decisions using both intellect and intuition. They don’t delay decisions on essential matters. They assess a situation and make the necessary trade-offs.
For example, they solve urgent and vital issues first. Then they might delve into details in priority order. They can discard noise and distractions, adding no value to their goals.
They make strategic and tactical decisions timely, flexibly changing their plans when needed.
10 — Lasting Relationships with effective communication
Life is all about connections. And the business world is built on complex relationships.
Successful people are relationship-oriented, nurturing relationships with others by investing their time and money to create meaningful connections.
Wealthy and healthy people are emotionally mature and focus on family relationships using their emotional intelligence. Communication is an essential tool for them.
They strive for brevity, clarity, and impact to convey their messages and create meaningful relationships.
