Grow Your Inner Circle

Money, time and energy are three vital resources needed for life. A young person may have lot of energy and time, but not money while an adult may have energy and money, but lack time due to the busyness of working life. As for the elderly, they may have the money and time, but sorely depleted of energy.

The problems are not the lack of energy, money and time. Their lack is the consequence of poor choices (e.g. diet), lifestyle (e.g. spendthrift) and inadequate skills (e.g. taking on too many things and not being able to prioritise).

Giving energy (e.g. energy-boosting drinks), winning the lottery and taking leave to compensate for long working hours do not solve the underlying problems. Jarringly, many who have won the lottery do not have the inner capacity to manage and sustain their windfall.

The solution to address the lack of resources such as energy, money and time is to grow your inner circle to support your triangle of energy, money and time.

As your inner circle grows, you will be able to expand your triangle. So invest in yourself. Build your faith in God, uphold your character uncompromisingly, get creative to explore new possibilities, and develop your personal and interpersonal skills.

Personal growth is the key to solving the lack of energy, money and time.
