Nov 24, 2021 · Instead of ‘chairs’ I find myself thinking of the Three ‘Fs’ – Faith, Family and Friendships which are important to me. The first ‘F’ is for my Faith: Reflecting over the long years of my life, I realize how much I had taken my faith for granted.
These three Fs are Family, Fitness, and Freedom. Many people think that the secret to living a happy and balanced life lies in money. This concept puts them in a constant hustle to chase money because they believe that “Money can buy happiness.”
Jan 13, 2020 · The bottom line is that we should all adhere to the three F’s: Flee sin. I Timothy 6:11. Follow righteousness and godliness. I Timothy 6:11. Fight the good fight of faith. I Timothy 6:12. We can be victorious over temptation. We simply must be alert and persistent in resisting it.

The first of the five F’s is Fitness. Nothing in life matters if you don’t have your health. I was reminded of this fact when I pulled my back recently while changing a flat tire. For a solid week, I was in pain and unable to do my normal routines. And what I was able to do took me a lot longer. It reminded me that if you don’t have your health, yo...
Family and Friends is the second of my five F’s. I talk a lot on this blog about the importance of relationships. Relationships are the ultimate reason we do most of what we do in life. The most important relationships we have in life are with our family and friends. Creating experiences with them and spending time with them will lead to a happier ...
Faith is the third of the five F’s. This one was a little hard to write because I’m sure most people think faith is going to church, and I don’t go to church. My background in faith is Catholicism, but I’m not a practicing Catholic. I believe in God, and I consider myself to be a spiritual person, so I make it a priority to consume spiritual conten...
Fun…it’s been a topic on my mind a lot lately. As one of the five F’s, you’d think this would be an exciting one to talk about. I don’t talk about it much on this blog, but I think I will in the future. Statistically, my life is halfway over, and it’s causing me to really look around at what I am doing with my time. I work a lot (which I enjoy), bu...
The final of my five F’s is finance. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does make things easier. It enables you to do things, have experiences, and give back to others. Working hard and earning money has allowed us to give our kids (and ourselves) experiences. It’s allowed me to invest in my education and the education of my family. My family life...
Make fitness and nutrition a part of your daily life.Make relationships a priority and invest in them.Consume spiritual content.Spend time having fun and creating experiences.Fun + Flow + Fulfillment = Happiness. These are 3 “F” words worth repeating. They were gathered together by Martin Seligman, Ph.D., the father of positive psychology. Seligman is a world-renown psychologist, professor and author at the University of Pennsylvania.
And that’s why I like to break them down into the basic components, or what I call the Three F’s: Finance, Fun and Family. We’ll take a look at each of these categories and make a plan for setting goals so you can maximize what you want from all three—and live the life you imagine.
The 3-F’s worked well as a foundation in my early adulthood. I could, assess myself at any given moment in each of the 3 areas to determine how well I was living. I knew that these 3F’s did not represent all that is required for the well-lived life, but I’ve never been known to be a perfectionist and these three made me feel content.
