Holism is the consideration of the person as a whole, a sum of our parts:
- Psychological
- Biological
- Financial
- Spiritual
- Social
This is how we define our situation, and this is where we should focus our actions.

In medicine, for a treatment to be effective, the plan must be personalized to the person's circumstance.
Without taking into consideration all the factors, the treatment won't be effective.
This is the same when it comes to hitting your goals.

It is a common phenomenon in our culture to work OVERTIME and EXTRA HOURS to get more money.
The unfortunate thing about this system is that there is no real improvement.

The day job requires you to sacrifice time for more money.
Now you have less time to:
- Enjoy life
- Spend time with your kids
- Spend time with your loved ones
- Do things that are important to you
Ultimately, this leads to dissatisfaction.

Within this goal and the context of this individual, the appropriate action would then be:
- Seek a promotion
- Take courses to increase skill-base on job
- Transfer to a different company that offers a better rate

All goals must be made in the context of the individual.
Otherwise, it just won't work.
Learn to listen within and find out what you really need right now.
Make goals that fit you, not someone else.
