To have the perfect life all you need is these three things in this exact order:
1. Peace of mind
2. Health
3. Money
The order is very important. If you ever find yourself worrying about your weight or working so late you get a headache, it's time to get the order straight.
To achieve peace of mind:
love yourself - treat yourself as your best friend - kindly, compassionately but firmly, honestly and objectively;
meditate regularly;
keep a clean and uncluttered mind, and living and working environment;
figure out what activities make you happy and joyful and do them regularly;
work through your fears, addictions, bad habits, hang-ups, programming;
get help whenever necessary, like getting counseling and meds.
To stay healthy shouldn't be very hard, once you have the peace of mind. All it really takes is reading some health blog, eating right, washing your hands, and doing some kind of exercise every day.
A healthy person radiating peace of mind is like a magnet, and would have job offers coming out of his ears. Also, it is easier to be creative and successful when your mind is at ease.
Money is to be used to support the #1 and #2, it must never interfere with either. Being exhausted, stressed out, losing sleep means stop whatever you are doing.
You don't need anything else, but those three things. The only love you need is self-love as a part of #1 - peace of mind. Love for other people feels great, but it must come after the 3 top things. Family, friends and lovers given too much power will take you to the cleaners. You know the saying, "Power corrupts." It's not just about some political leader, it is about everyone. Giving anyone too much power means putting their needs above your own, which will inevitably corrupt them, and will result in the world of hurt for both of you.
