Multiple Streams for EVERYTHING in Your Life

Do you have multiple streams flowing in to all areas of your life?
We have all heard about the need to diversify and not put all our eggs in one basket.

There is very sound philosophy in that advice, for it keeps us from creating a life that is overly dependent on one source.

But to be truly effective, we must apply the notion of multiple streams to all areas of our life.

Interestingly, however, the discussion of diversification or having multiple streams is generally brought up as it relates to our financial situation. It could be our sources of income, our investment portfolio, or benefit distribution, etc... but that's where the conversation remains, on money.

Money is important, no doubt, but in addition to building multiples streams of income, there are other equally vital areas of our lives that must be tended to:

You should give love and seek love from many sources -- a spouse, a child, a parent, a friend, a pet...

You should give assistance to and seek help from many different sources -- your neighbors, your colleagues, your leagues, your associations, etc...

You should obtain health and create a healthy environment from many sources -- the foods you eat, the cleanliness of your home, the methods by which you exercise, or by maintaining a consistent relationship with your family doctor...

To be healthy and wealthy and loved and comforted, you must focus on all of these areas.

Thus, an effective strategy to having a balanced and nourished life is one that sets an overall target for each of those areas and then builds multiple streams to support it. Then if one steam happens to dry up, you will have others to continue moving you forward.

The more you give the more you get.
Those words ring positively true when creating multiple streams.

Just remember to always maintain balance and get those streams flowing!
