Purpose-Based Planning

Life is fleeting in nature. Instead of asking, “What if I run out of money?” Mr. 1500 (the author) believes you should instead wonder, “What if I run out of life?”

Time is your ultimate currency. How will you spend it?

You don't need to reach “old age” or face impending death to become more aware of the present moment and what you can offer the world.

Here, you’ll find guiding principles that lend to living a fulfilling and meaningful life developed from Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius.

Ask yourself: What do you really want out of life? If you don’t know – Or you think you know, but you’re unsure, it’s time to gain clarity on your Purpose.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What am I good at?” Or, “What do I enjoy?”, you’re on the path to pinpointing your passion – and most importantly – your purpose.

Your focus should never be the money, but how that money can elevate the meaning in your life. If dollars dictate your direction in life, you’ll find yourself on an endless search of “what’s next?”

Your life is not meant to be measured by accomplishments and hard work, but a life full of experiences that you may never have if you are always looking for that next thing.

Life Fulfillment = Time + Health + Money. That’s the equation you need for maximizing life’s experiences, and in that particular order.

If you had just three years left to live, what would you spend that time focusing on?
