Ron T. says

Energy sig­ni­fies the unity of any given moment.

Ty says

When we state a word, we impose a lim­i­ta­tion on our think­ing, con­fined to the def­i­n­i­tion of the word stated. When look­ing over your list, Burt, I am look­ing for the word that gives me the most lim­it­less feel­ing. “Pas­sion”, nope. “Beauty” (of what?) of body, nope. “Energy”, hmmm, close, but nope. “Money”, comes and goes, nope. “Rela­tion­ships”, nope. “Health”, death over­takes, nope. “Joy”, momen­tary or per­ma­nent?, nope. “Spir­i­tu­al­ity”, would require your def­i­n­i­tion, but my inner feel­ing of the word “spi­ti­tu­al­ity”, as defined by me, places the least lim­i­ta­tion on my thoughts, thus I choose “Spirituality”.

sahar says

i pick joy… cause when ur joy­ful and happy then ur wealthy enough, healthy enough (weather thts hav­ing mil­lions or just enough to make it through the day, diff ppl have diff stan­dards in life) and have the rela­tion­ships u need to give ur life mean­ing… and well when ur happy ur also in a spir­i­tual state weather u no it or not…

David Pillsbury says

I know the joy of hap­pi­ness but con­train myself from really indulging in it as much as I wish I could. Life is good, but I know it could be incred­i­bly fan­tas­tic. It is quite frus­trat­ing know­ing I am some­how hold­ing myself back from the great joys found in full­ness of life. I some­times write sto­ries in which I am the char­ac­ter who expe­ri­ences what I don’t. This vic­ar­i­ous activ­ity is pleas­ant but surly it is sec­ondary. I wish I could jump into the character’s I write about — that would lit­er­ally be a dream come true.

Jean Elling says

I want peo­ple to be free! Free to be the mag­nif­i­cent beings they are. To love and be loved, to laugh, to be con­tent and at peace! healthy, have pas­sion, enjoy the beauty around us, and to be able to enjoy ALL that is listed. We have to change our way of being and think­ing, change our con­scious­ness through spir­i­tual questioning-and look­ing for the answers. Jean

Lynne says

All are impor­tant! if I have to choose one I would choose money because money gives you the free­dom to do what you want — for your­self and to help oth­ers. We are often stuck in jobs we don’t like. If we had an infi­nite source of money we would live a totally dif­fer­ent life.

Rohit says

I opted for Spir­i­ual­ity. Though I’m a Hindu, and Hin­duism mainly focuses on spir­i­tual devel­op­ment of a per­son. When a per­son becomes spir­i­tu­ally advanced, then (s)he views this illu­sion­ary world from dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive. Then (s)he can ful­fill all his/her desires.

Barbara says

Pure Energy. Spir­i­tu­al­ity and Life and all the oth­ers are part of it, not sep­a­rate from it. It is the ONE that is ALL.

kathy says

I picked energy because life runs on energy. With­out it there is noth­ing. When my energy is bal­anced I feel happy. When my energy has been rocked I feel drained. I feel I try to keep my energy level bal­anced and I like to help oth­ers bal­ance their energy.

Lisa says

Dear Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because I believe that work­ing from spirit will help to over­come obsta­cles and stress in our own and oth­ers lives and attract cir­cum­stances where we can help oth­ers when needed. Also, spirit gives me energy, pas­sion, joy, good health and the things you need seem to ‘pop’ up. Though I’m not rich, (I have $2.74 in my check­ing right now), I’ll bet money or what­ever I need money for will come my way by the end of the week. It just seems to hap­pen that way all the time. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I don’t think so. I think work­ing from spirit helps to attract what you need, even if you thought it was some­thing else.

Bill says

Spir­i­tu­ally is the gate­way to all the won­der­ful and mirac­u­lous events that hap­pen in our lives. I fully believe that a truly happy and healthy spirit allows all the other pos­i­tive aspects of a well-rounded life happen.

Pa says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is our conec­tion to God and the universe

navin says

with­out energy there is noth­ing no money, no peace, no sprituality

Sandi says

Energy is impor­tant because with good energy all other things are possible.

JOHN says

spir­i­tu­al­ity by far-the one and only-to live your life’s purpose.

Maegaret says

We’re spir­i­tual beings, what’s the point of the other things in the long run if that’s all there is…

Rita says

Money — it is my dri­ver in life and this dri­ver aids in keep­ing my lifestyle healthy, stress at bay and energy lev­els high.

sita says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with­out it, you can­not have peace of mind.

sita welsh

Shankar says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity includes all the other 7 areas — you can have Health,Wealth,Beauty,Passion Relationship.……

Desiree says

It was hard to chose the most impor­tant thing, as I believe many of them are impor­tant ie. spir­i­tu­al­ity, money, pas­sion, energy, we need them all.

But if I have to pick the most impor­tant, I’d say it would be rela­tion­ships, peo­ple need ppl

girish says

For me Energy comes at the top of the list. Pos­i­tive Energy helps to face dif­fer­ent sit­u­a­tions easy/difficult which in turn leads to hap­pi­ness. Hap­pi­ness then helps in gen­er­a­tion of other pos­i­tive emo­tions appear­ing in the list.

diana says

real­ity (sorry abt the misspell)

diana says

I chose energy because that is the result of all that we are and all that there is. It is the stuff we mold our realty with and it has no end. Some say it is the word, some say it is the light, some just don’t under­stand it. I say it is all that and more.

Jola says

hon­est ansver:mony,yes mony are impor­tant the rest ????????????????

L. Jon says

Burt,

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity b/c as a Sports Injury/Performance Doc­tor I treat so many indi­vid­u­als that have spir­i­tual issues more times than physical.

Even when they do have a phys­i­cal injury, it almost always has a spir­i­tual com­po­nent as well attached with it.

God Bless us All !!

Martha says

I cho­sen Health
Because with helth you can’t improve the rest of things in live

Marsha says

If ya got your health, ya got every­thing! It seems all of the aspects are encom­passed through a basis of health.

DiAnne says

Hello Burt,
I believe spir­i­tu­al­ity is the foun­tain­head from which all the oth­ers spring. From spir­i­tual belief and inten­tion you change energy to heal, joy and pas­sion explode, beauty comes from appre­ci­a­tion for cre­ation, rela­tion­ships and money, sad­ness and joy are all just parts of expe­ri­enc­ing mor­tal life.

Jerry says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because you can have evry­thing else but with­out a know­eledge of spirit, it’s all empty.

I do think they’re all inte­gral parts of our lives.

steve says

Rela­tion­ships,
As I con­sid­ered all of the choices, I real­ized that each point of change in my life has occured within the con­text of rela­tion­ship. I believe that each cat­e­gory is impor­tant but must be kept in a bal­ance with the oth­ers. The focus of ‘bal­ance’ changes depend­ing on the dynamic of our rela­tion­ships. Our rela­tion­ship with God effects our Spir­i­tu­al­ity which effects our rela­tion­ship with our spouse, which effects our level of Joy, which effects our rela­tion­ship with not only our spouse but our Boss which in turn effects our Pas­sion, our income, energy, health and ulti­mately back to our rela­tion­ship with God and so on. Life is cic­u­lar, like a wheel, with each of the cat­e­gories act­ing as spokes on the wheel. When we put too much empha­sis on one area the wheel (our life) gets out of bal­ance and we must com­pen­sate by focus­ing our efforts in another area. The secret is to find the ‘place of bal­ance’ in the cen­ter of life and dis­trib­ute our atten­tion to each of the areas as rela­tion­ships change and cir­cum­stances unfold. Life & Suc­cess is a dymanic process, not a for­mula to be solved or fol­lowed. It’s all about enjoy­ing the rela­tion­ship of the experiences.

Robt says

All are impor­tant, why do we have to choose?

Anselm Barnet says

All I want:

Refund of money you cashed on my
Credit Card, as promissed by you.

I returend every­thing you sent.
In good faith that you would return my money as any GOOD monk would.
Anselm Barnet

Peg says

If you have Joy, doesn’t that imply that the other areas are resolved to allow it?

Sandra Chavinski says

I picked health

with health the rest you can work on it.

John says

If your spirit is at ease then you will find ways to make every­thing else hap­pen. An unease spirit will pro­duce chaos in your life.

We need money but only while we are here on this earth also health and that is only for a short time as life is like the blink of an eye.

Hap­pi­ness is really only a state of mind as is free­dom. The only way to be truly happy or free is to go beyond the per­cep­tions of all of these to the next plane of being if you like.

Yes i want money while i am here but i don’t rate it as the most impor­tant but i would like more of it never the less.

Juan says

you can be unhealthy and still be happy thats why i chose joy.

sandra says

I chose joy. To me it is the pur­pose of all the other things. Joy in love, joy in find­ing that spir­i­tual con­nec­tion, joy in attain­ing some­thing you’ve wished for. I want to always feel joy in my life.

LESLEY says

TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULL YOU NEED HEALTH, EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS ON FROM THAT.AND IS ALSO IMPORTANT SPIRITUALITY, MONEY, BEAUTY, RELATIONSHIPS ETC

Jacquelyn says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity. Thank you for ask­ing. We are all con­nected with one another, and every expe­ri­ence, joy pas­sion, rela­tion­ships, etc is what is caused by our spir­i­tu­al­ity. Peace.

aaron says

We are spirit hav­ing a human expe­ri­ence. Seek­ing the truest expes­sion of the essence of the indi­vid­ual while we are in this expres­sion of the third dimen­sion. This chal­lenge is to over­come the fear­ful embed­ded dis­trac­tions of our phys­i­cal­ity to experience/register this life to our fullest expe­ri­ence possible

M. Scott says

I think My Health is most impor­tant, but God plays a very impor­tant part in my life. with out any spritu­alilty my Life I would have no peace. Rela­tion­ship would be the last thing to think about. Good com­ments here!

Rute says

That’s what I believe

Health=(in your mind+your body)+joy=(your hap­pi­ness+ your smile)+Relationships=(giving whit no string attach+ to receive and say thank you+Beauty=(your blue or yel­low aura+other‘s aura)+passion=(for love+to grow inner)+ Money=(buy necessity+buy thing’s Toy’s for grownups ha! ha!)= Spirituality=balance in your life

Sue says

I believe that I first and fore­most must be true and hon­est to myself and then I can med­i­tate and get a higher degree of enlightment.

Birsen says

Hello Burt,

I have cho­sen Beauty.….
Why I do not know, it was the first thing that came into my mind so I voted for Beauty…

Thank you for your inter­est­ing mails, they keep me focused on to fig­ure out life.

g stechman says

with­out health you are noth­ing ‚if you are sick in bed or bed rid­den how can you spend your money or go on hol­i­day drive that car you ve always wanted ‚i ve seen peo­ple live in poverty because the cant work because their minds or bodys are not up to the job .Remem­ber first health then wealth in that order. geff

r.L says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity was the clos­est word that would match what i believe to be important.Spiritually we are all one.We are all important.

Cheyenne says

I choose pas­sion, mainly because pas­sion is the dri­ving fac­tor for every­thing. Health, spir­i­tu­al­ity, every­thing is so much bet­ter when it is done with aban­don­ment of ego and lived with pas­sion. It height­ens ones aware­ness of things and thrills the soul. When you do every­thing with pas­sion, it doesnt feel hard or energy drain­ing, it lifts you up to feel so alive. You want to help every­one and it is like a con­ta­gious feel­ing that every­one wants to acquire. Pas­sion just means life lived to the fullest
Cheyenne

Maggie says

spir­i­tu­al­ity leads to Christ­hood and that is my desire

Charlotte says

With­out health the rest is of lit­tle value. That body of ours is a very spe­cial resource. Wo let us watch what we feed it, men­tally and physically.

Kerri says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity, because if your Spirit is pos­i­tive and Healthy, every­thing else like Health and Rela­tion­ships and money can be drawn into your expe­ri­ence due to the strong Spir­i­tual Foun­da­tion you have, with­out which noth­ing else will hold up. Your Spirit can uti­lize the Law of Attrac­tion (that which is alike is drawn) to draw every­thing you desire into your life. The Spir­i­tual aspect is the foun­da­tion of all you are, and it is what you take with you when you leave the Phys­i­cal plane. Noth­ing else really mat­ters in the long run. It has been said, Seek first the king­dom (or your Spir­i­tu­al­ity) and every­thing else will be added to you. In other words if the Spirit is your focus, every­thing else will nat­u­rally fall into place.

Sam says

Hi Burt,
I choose Joy because if you have it then other things like lack of money or lack of good health will melt away as you will have joy to fill your life with.
Best of health
Sam

Lara says

Hey Burt,when i wanted to choose my pri­or­ity but it was very hard!They are all equally impor­tant and essen­tial. I think this is dif­fer­ent for every­one depend­ing on what they need most or what they lack.An unhealthy per­son liv­ing in pain would choose health.A per­son who has every­thing but feels empty would choose spir­i­tu­al­ity and so on. In my case i would choose money, because my life has been a strug­gle, my son has health prob­lems and my mom too. With money i can help them and have time to work on my spir­i­tual evo­lu­tion and help oth­ers too. I have so much pas­sion to learn more and more , i have dreams i can’t accom­plish with­out money.If i have the money i will have all the rest. Thanks Burt.Warm thoughts.xxx

Frank says

Peo­ple tend to for­get who they really are and are always seek­ing a bet­ter life. If one really wants to seek a bet­ter life they then need to know that we are a Spir­i­tual being. We never get sick, die or oth­er­wise. Our pur­pose is to grow Spir­i­tu­aly and reach per­fec­tion in Oneoness. It is so sim­ple but it is hid­den in our desire to be healthy, wealthy and being happy. On the earth plane that is fine but how does it make you get closer to your cre­ator if you do not grow Spir­tu­aly? We are doing a 360 and are return­ing to who we were meant to be. To be Spir­i­tual is to be healthy, wise, lov­ing, car­ing and wealthy. We are all looked after but we need to trust and accept­ing. No games, no lies, no deceit just be true. This my mes­sage to all from the All Know­ing, please we all need to lis­ten rather than speak and all will be revealed!
Love & Peace always

SOL says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because for me GOD will give all my heart desires if I AM con­nected with him. He is the source of everything.

soheila says

hi, Burt. after ur email about the trap, i thought with myself and i should cofess that u r right. now i’m try­ing to change my vision. many thanks Burt

diane says

burt i tried your psoper­ity pro­gram .so that i could win the lot­tery . well guess what i dreamed the lot­tery num­bers sev­eral times ; but i could not remem­ber the num­bers .what can i do to remem­ber the numbers ?

Kathy says

Hello Burt,
I did not vote because I can­not choose just
one thing. I believe that all of them are
impor­tant. I also won­der why it is we have to
choose only one? If our world is one of abun­dance in all things, shouldn’t we be able to enjoy all these things with­out giv­ing up
any­thing? It would seem so to me.
Love your work and ideas.
Kathy

mike mclean says

with­out health ‚noth­ing is possible

mike mclean says

with­out health noth­ing is attainablle.

ali says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with it there is a sense of peace and allows me to be productive.

Louise says

~Good Morn­ing Burt~

First off sorry for being late, my pc is down , am on my son’s pc which is much used. …lol

I choose Health first, then spir­i­tual to fol­low as with­out health the focus is not as effec­tive for the greater good. although tak­ing care of ones tem­ple of God is an act of spir­i­tu­al­ism in it’s on right.doing both at the same time con­flicts with the answer you are seek­ing.
truly I vote for LOVE it sums it all up in a nutshell~even if it’s not on your list. How­ever most cer­tainly found in your heart.Thank you for help­ing so many souls.

Bless­ings of Great Joy and, Safe Jour­neys to you , till the next time, xo Louise

Luis Marroquin says

Burt:

I really appre­ci­ate your writ­ing. I choose only one option. Pas­sion should give you the strength and inner desire to live intensely, every new day.

Best regards to you and your bil­lion readers.

Luis

Lisa says

I choose Spir­i­tu­al­ity for this rea­son. If we really under­stood who we are as co-creators we will begin to under­stand that cre­ation and per­cep­tion are inti­mately con­nected. there­fore we can cre­ate all things that we need in this phys­i­cal sys­tem in which we inhabit.

Imelda Maguire says

Hello Burt
Thankyou for con­tin­u­ing to reach out to so many with your com­mit­ment to help­ing oth­ers find their bliss, what­ever that might be.

You really have a LOVING heart.

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity for the sim­ple rea­son that so many peo­ple I know as well as the peo­ple I am meet­ing for the fist time are lost. I feel for these peo­ple who have only bit­ter­ness in their hearts.

I believe that a strong spir­i­tual foun­da­tion for me can help to heal the heart of man. I am a lover. That is all I know, that is what I would like to share.
~*LOVE ALWAYS*~

Zachary says

Noth­ing makes me feel more com­plete when I can have an open and hon­est rela­tion­ship which touches our body mind and spirit connections.

Rick says

Hey Burt
Money isn’t the most impor­tant thing…unless you don’t have any. Then, it is the only thing you think about.
Most any­thing in my life that I would per­ceive as a ‘prob­lem’ would be cured by enough money. Mind you, I’ve got more money now than ever before due to learn­ing how the law of att­trac­tion works. I’ve got a good han­dle on all the other things men­tioned, too. Right now, then my focus is on more money. The more one has, the more one can help
Rick

George says

Pas­sion — for each and every item listed below it.

Irene says

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but since very years ago, I con­sider my roman­tic life as the most impor­tant part of my life. If I have boyfriend, and we are ok, it dosen’t mat­ter if I have money prob­les, bad health (well I never been really ill), fights with my mom or sis­ter, or few friends, I’m ok because I have him, I can han­del the oth­ers areas. But, if I don’t have a boyfriend, and I have the other areas in my life ok, I don’t seem to care much about it, I mean… I can’t enjoy every­thing else like I should, and I know that’s is bad, but that is how I feel. Bless­ings from Ver­cruz, Mex.

Mike says

Health, with­out it what good is money, and your spir­i­tual life can be enhanced with a healthy vehical.

Tiffany says

I believe all are equally impor­tant, if a life is meant to be a jour­ney and one of evo­lu­tion, then it would make sense that all be impor­tant. Why we feel like we need to choose only one is far beyond me. For me and my fam­ily we will serve the Lord in every way, strive for it all, for we are worth every good thing life has to offer.

God Bless you Burt Gold­man
Your is a gift of Light Shin­ing bright for all to See.

Alfredo says

I agree with Ronald. It is very impor­tant to select difer­ent lev­els in difer­ent cat­e­gories. No one can hon­estely answer to this ques­tion “What Areas…” with just a pick.

angela says

All are impor­tant to me but if i have to chose one it would be money.

helen says

All of the above are impor­tant and if used cor­rectly each enhances the other. To appre­ci­ate the beauty of the planet brings so much joy and peace and spir­i­tual con­nec­tion, this brings its own heal­ing balm and qui­etens the rest­less mind and eases the soul, the beauty of music and poetry lifts the spirit to higher realms and we see what really mat­ters to us. Our rela­tion­ship with our self, with out true nature is expressed by our pas­sion for our life and the way we com­mune with oth­ers and the wealth that we acquire through the good deeds that we do enables us to con­tribute futher to the beauty of our and oth­ers lives.
I truly can­not see how any­one is greater than another and as we grow into our­selves and open the path­way to the heart we receive all of the bless­ings from all of that we value. thank you Burt you make a difference.

Joseph Karydas says

Since spir­i­tu­al­lity pre­vails over evrything,a good spir­i­tu­al­lity is the key to a bet­ter life

Dan says

Spir­tu­al­ity of course …
With that, you can have all of the others !!

PAUL says

To get in touch with spirit is to return home where peace is and every thing else just nat­u­rally falls into place.

Paul, Ire­land.

Rute says

I agree whit you, because I sow when I was work­ing at BMW let me explain myself .Wow it’s nice to buy a BMW!!! But most of does clients they were mis­er­able so I said to myself I red­der be finan­cial ok then be mis­er­able like them they can’t see. Health and well­ness is what I want then the rest and Aim devot­ing my time to work on myself to love myself and more…

Thank you Burt.

Darrel Astin says

Health is most impor­tant to me, as I don’t have it. I have been deal­ing with major skin can­cers for some 10 years.

Dar­rel

Zaccurus says

I believe if you live a joy­ful life, find­ing the Joy and love of each moment, you will be spir­i­tu­ally con­nected, the money you need will find you, health will be your body and mind, energy will flow through you, you will see the beauty in every­thing, every­thing you do will be pas­sion­ate, and you will gain uncount­able qual­ity relationships..

I do think the­ses are all very impor­tant aspects of life, and they all lean on each other, but how­ever impor­tant money, pas­sion, health, rela­tion­ships, energy and spir­i­tu­al­ity are, they are out of my con­trol. but I can CHOOSE to hold my mind in a joy­ous state, and thus invite all the other aspects into my life.

Bless­ings

Sherry says

Joy is con­nected to our heart. From heat, you can attract every­thing you like

Ronald says

Burth, this is in response to your email about our responses to your survey.Your deduc­tion that most of us are choos­ing just one selec­tion and for­go­ing the oth­ers and there­fore are giv­ing up the oth­ers is delu­sional. You have shaped your deduc­tion on a false premise: “What Areas Of Your Life Mat­ter Most To You?” is the head­line but one can only choose one selec­tion. Your ques­tion­naire should read “What Area …?” if we are to chose just one, not the­o­ret­i­cally choose more than one as specif­i­cally stated by the word “areas”.

All of Your listed cat­e­gories are in fact,important to me but I was denied the choice of select­ing more than one by someone’s con­scious effort to limit the selec­tion to just one choice. I sug­gest you change the word­ing next time or change the selec­tion process to match up with the wording.

Best Regards, Ron

Rachel says

Hi Burt,
I just stum­bled upon this post today. I think it is great. Thank you so much for mak­ing this avail­able.
I chose joy from spir­i­tu­al­ity, energy-consciousness and joy. To me they are all kinda related. If I can attain this group of 3, then I feel every­thing else not be of great con­cern because I will be in a state of joy and liv­ing in oneness.

Diane Cote' says

spir­i­tu­al­ity first — every­thing else fol­lows if there is a right spir­i­tual relationship.

NG says

I choose Joy because of that I enjoy liv­ing and that, I belive, is the rea­son I got hear.

Sam says

If you live a life filled with joy, none of the other choices mat­ter, but it could be said that when all of the other choices are ful­filled, then we will find pure joy.

Jag says

Why not give con­sis­tent energy to all the above areas? They are all important!

Harvey says

I chose money because with­out it there is no free­dom. I have every­thing else in my life a good rela­tion­ship a lov­ing son a great house in a nice area but I just need more money to have the free­dom to be able to do all things I want to do before I am too old.

Silvernight says

Well, I chose rela­tion­ships because, as I have noticed, when I have no friends, that’s when depres­sion comes in. When I have them, every­thing seems a lot sun­nier. But some of the other men­tioned choices are no less impor­tant, really. Such as health, spirituality.

R.Ramasubramanian says

My strong feel­ing is that, if we have pas­sion , we can achieve the Health, wealth, relationship,love , joy.
What­ever we do, we should be pas­sion­ate in that. This is my strong opinion.

Pradip says

Godd health is the door­way to pas­sion, energy, rela­tion­ship, spir­i­tu­al­ity and joy. My lev­els of energy, rela­tion­ship, spir­i­tu­al­ity and joy were rather on a low key till I real­ized that My basic require­ment of good health was at a low key. One I have started pay­ing more atten­tion to my health , I find that the other aspects men­tioned in the options started improving.

patrick ryan says

I voted for health but and it’s a very big but !!! I rate these on a cir­cle start­ing at 1 in the cen­ter and 10 on the out­side scor­ing each one in turn so you can read­ily see where your cir­cle of life really is and if it is indeed a bal­anced cir­cle at all! Then you can see whether one has a bal­anced life at all. I choose health for the sim­ple rea­son that if one is healthy the right frame of mind will enable one to deal and rea­son with the rest that life brings.
Regrards, Pat

Kathy says

If you have true spir­i­tu­al­ity then EVERYTHING else will fall into place. The rest is all an elu­sion anyway!

Raguraman says

Sprit is the ‘seed’ of the SELF. Known seed fruits known seed and per­pet­u­ate in the NATURE which holds the key for any­thing and every­thing in the UNIVERSE.

Chander Bhalla says

I shall con­sider spir­i­tu­al­ity an ideal foun­da­tion for a cor­rect per­spec­tive on every thing else in life.

good morn­ing Butt, i am inter­ested in spir­i­tu­al­ity and there is no cause for such inter­est in me. i feel that is in built in me.

hi Burt. i’m soheila from iran, i’m mus­lim and i’m a nat­ural healer.i think Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant part. when u have spir­i­tual believes in ur life, u will have health of mind, and the most impor­tant rea­son for me to choose it is reach­ing peace, i think peace is very impor­tant. when u have peace of mind, u have good rela­tions with other peo­ple. u will under­stand the beauty of uni­verse and u can feel every­thing hap­pens around u, u will receive energy. like when we use the deep alpha con­di­tion. as my friend lau­ren said “spirit is all their and con­tains every­thing else”.
many thanks of ur

VINOAD says

Spritu­al­ity !!! I feel this is what mankind Has For­got­ten !!!! As If a per­osn is spritual all that He Or She seeks would be definetly be full­filled as that only leads to Self realization !!!!!

Neena says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity because the goal of my life is self-realization and I believe that we are spir­its or souls clothed in bod­ies. Enlight­en­ment is pos­si­ble only through God’s Grace.

Leon says

The most impor­tant thing to me is devel­op­ing my mind. I want to be able to do all pos­si­ble and impos­si­ble with my mind. Also help oth­ers unlock them­self from men­tal bodage!

Jasmine says

Hello Burt,
Thanks for all your won­der­ful insights.
Every­one is in dif­fer­ent sit­u­a­tions where their needs are dif­fer­ent at any given time.
At this time I would say Money…it buys the time to con­cen­trate on spir­i­tu­al­ity, health, real­tion­ships, and all the other things we like to have more time to do.
It is unfor­tu­nate that our soci­ety is based so much on money and the pur­suit thereof, that more impor­tant things tend to go by the wayside.

dolores says

All won­der­ful answers — have noth­ing dif­fer­ent to add

Dorothy says

Aloha Burt,

I selected spritu­al­ity because if we do as we learn from you and oth­ers like your­self, we can cre­ate what ever is wanted, and that includes all else on your above list.

Mahalo (thank you)for this oppor­tu­nity. Please con­tinue to assist us with this won­der­ful and beau­ti­ful learn­ing curve.

Dorothy “Maika”

Amy says

When we fol­low our Joy all else falls in line

Jeanine says

For me the most impor­tant thing is hav­ing a spir­i­tu­al­ity that works and sus­tains you.

Rita Brockett says

I don’t know exactly but I am hap­pi­est when in a good rela­tion­ship. When things go bad in a rela­tion­ship no mat­ter how good every­thing else is, it seems I have nothing.

lawrence says

Lawrence

SPIRTUILITY BECAUSE IT IS MY GOAL TO CONECT WITH MY SOURCE

Lauren says

Spirit is all their is and con­tains every­thing else.

Christine says

Hey There Burt

I’ve been spin­ning my wheels in the Rela­tion­ship Dept. I am at the halfway point in my life. I’ve had the jobs, cur­rently unem­ployed though. Now I want a com­pan­ion to share the other half of my life on this earth. Cur­rently I am very happy with whom I share a home with,and I want it to con­tinue. We com­mu­ni­cate well and are in the same line of work. We both have grown chil­dren, so the skies the limit!! Your 7 Les­son course came at a good time for me. I had time to sit quiet, lis­ten and learn from your tech­niques. Thank You Burt so much for the wis­dom you have gained in your life and for shar­ing it with us. I will carry on with this new­found knowl­edge with confidence.

Nora says

I believe that if you have Joy in your heart, it’s because you already have health and a sense of spir­i­tu­al­ity. The rest will fol­low easy, in other words, they are byprod­ucts. My hum­ble opin­ion.
Nora

Tom says

I choose pas­sion because that is the energy that dri­ves us toward that which we desire, love and enjoy… Tommy

Sue says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity will encom­pass all the other areas.

Bill says

I chose money, because at this time with the stock mar­ket at its worst and going down, I am in need at this time. My health and in most of the other catagories is fine. Thank you.

Barry says

To achieve any and all of the choices. I choose money. Con­tem­plat­ing the answer to this ques­tion, I feel that the finan­cial stress that I have been under for so long has played a big part in the “impor­tance fac­tor.” It’s sad to think that money would take the lead over spir­i­tu­al­ity, health and joy for me. But I feel that money is the fac­tor to achieve any and all of them.

Anne says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the basis of life. If this area of life is explored and expanded all the rest will follow.Spiritality is love and this is the under­ly­ing fuel all the other areas of living

Cindy says

If I have my health I can accom­plish any­thing, money, rela­tion­ships, energy, pas­sion, joy, spirituality,can all be achieved with good health

Nancy says

I think all are impor­tant because we have the power to cre­ate all.

Chris says

I chose pas­sion because with true and deep pas­sion in your life, most all of the other choices on this list will man­i­fest easily.

Janeeda says

I chose “Spir­i­tu­al­ity” because the act of putting the spirit first in itself is a sacr­fice in this life. With­out a true spir­i­tual foun­da­tion none of the phys­i­cal things realy mat­ter. Bring­ing the two together is the art of liv­ing joy­fully with all the other things men­tioned. My pur­pose is to com­pletly learn how to suc­cess­fully bring them together, unity within our own selves, Body, Mind and Spirit and help teach oth­ers how to do the same thing.

Janeeda

sikander says

i put spir­i­tu­al­ism because the way i see it, it is impor­tant to me to know what is out there and how you can use it to accom­plish every­thing you want in your life and for the world.
when you have that con­nec­tion to the spir­i­tual world, you wont have to worry over anything.

Avi says

I chose health because with­out health we can­not achieve much. With health any­thing is possible

Judyfaye says

I Believe that I can accom­plish any­thing if I have my Health.…

Katalin says

Hi Burt!
For me money the most impor­tant because need money for every­thing in this world. Shop­ping healthy food, spir­i­tual books, joy to go out.

Kenneth says

Hello Burt
Thanks first of all for the expe­ri­ences you share. You are truly a help to me.
I firmly believe that I was spirit before I became flesh. There­fore, I place spritu­al­ity pri­or­ity in my life. I know so lit­tle about it, the void in my life is the unknown, spir­i­tu­al­ity! I’m try­ing to learn as much as I can about spirituality.

Steve W says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because of the inner joy med­i­ta­tive focus on one’s over­self devel­ops and would not harm my phys­i­cal being or lessen my con­nec­tion to my spir­i­tual self through smoke, drugs or alcohol.

I’m only inter­ested in enough money to live on plus develop the rela­tion­ships within my fam­ily and the com­mu­nity I feel part of because of the love I have for them and the cul­ture that is my inher­i­tance. We find joy in see­ing a young child smile and increas­ingly develop into an artic­u­late, con­fi­dent being at one with the flow of the universe.

Health is a con­stant pur­suit through a his­tory of sport, karate, jog­ging, hatha yoga, reflex­ol­ogy, acu­pres­sure, med­i­ta­tion, avoid­ing med­ical per­son­nel not inter­ested in help­ing their patients, and find­ing cheap, healthy alter­na­tives to allo­pathic treat­ments biased to expen­sive drug regimes that are some­times inef­fec­tive or pro­duce debil­i­tat­ing side effects yet are still prof­fered by unscrupu­lous, profit chas­ing phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal com­pa­nies. The same com­pa­nies ready to seduce some med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers into a sim­i­lar chase for money rather than find­ing the cheap­est, most effec­tive treat­ment for heal­ing their patients (see The Health Sci­ences Insti­tute). Health enables us to face life with equa­nim­ity so we con­tinue to seek solu­tions whether stalled by lows or over­come with joy.

The pur­suit of knowl­edge is a con­stant — hence per­haps a pas­sion — because through knowl­edge we learn to rea­son, artic­u­late, max­i­mize our poten­tial (I’ve yet to learn meth­ods for quan­tum jump­ing), find under­stand­ing in our lives (sim­i­larly I’ve not learnt remote view­ing), or find prac­tices to main­tain our energy through meth­ods of de-stressing, choice of foods, find­ing the best vit­a­min sup­ple­ments by ingre­di­ents plus cost effec­tive­ness, and a healthy lifestyle. At times we deplete our reserves of energy through the efforts we make to achieve things impor­tant in our lives so the knowl­edge that we want to con­tinue those endeav­ours makes us seek and find prac­tices for draw­ing energy into our­selves to replen­ish, self-heal, or direct to oth­ers to assist their body do it’s own heal­ing. Some­times a face will light up when they realise they have lost their tired­ness and feel ener­gised or a per­son will awake refreshed and smile broadly because their for­mer tired­ness, mus­cle aches and pains have gone. Through knowl­edge and shar­ing we can help each other live bet­ter lives.

Vickie says

Burt, I chose Joy. I chose this because it gives your life ful­fill­ment in all areas.

gaylene renata says

would love to read more on healing

gaylene renata says

HEALTH TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT , WITHOUT IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE LAUGHTER, LOVE,TEARS AND JOY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN, CHILDREN, AND MY OWN IMMEDIATE FAMILY. THATS A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE TO SHARE,

martin says

I guess that spir­i­tu­al­ity con­tains all the rest.

Rona says

Hi Burt,
I chose Money, because for me, hav­ing money or shuld I say hav­ing more than enough money would finally allow me to expe­ri­ence “free­dom”. Free­dom to do what I love which invokes my per­sonal “passion”

Steinar says

I choosed health because with a good health I think it is much eas­ier to achive what we want

Gail says

Hi Burt
I found it tricky to choose as all are impor­tant to me in dif­fer­ent ways. In the end, I chose Energy, because I believe that is the basis of every­thing we are and every­thing that exists, the oth­ers all flow on from this
Thank you Burt

Geoff says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity has to be the first choice. We must appre­ci­ate that all the other things, how­ever won­der­ful they may be, will dis­ap­pear at one moment or another.
We are spir­i­tual beings first and humans sec­ond. Surely it must make sense to keep focus on your TRUTH, of WHO you are, WHAT you are and YOUR func­tion incar­nate. Health is ‘body’ based. To KNOW YOUR SELF is to KNOW your JOY, PASSION etc. When you KNOW YOUR SELF you realise that you WANT FOR NOTHING. DESIRE dis­ap­pears, the NEEDS for ANY ‘THING’ ‘IN — PARTICULAR’ goes. YOU become ONE with ALL THINGS and NOTHING IN PARTICULAR. In short, you KNOW YOUR SELF to be ONE with ALL — GOD in fact and in BEING not DOING. DOING is based on DESIRE.
SPIRITUALITY IS KEY to the TRUE knowl­edge (LIGHT) that ALL is ONE & for­get­ting is the ONLY clue to mak­ing this ‘GAME’ pos­si­ble. Hence the phrase ‘Remem­ber your Self’. ‘To thine own Self be True’. ‘Know thy Self’.
This there­fore MUST be the most impor­tant of all choices pro­vided. Not that any of the other choices are wrong, but that all choices MUST lead even­tu­ally to the one TRUTH. WE are Spirit and all are ONE with each other !!
I hope the rea­sons given will be recog­nised by those who read this and prove a lit­tle food for fur­ther thought !
Great Thanks to you all and may you all know that your true strength lies in your ‘Still­ness & Silence’.

Diana says

With­out joy, the rest is not worth anything.

malca says

Hi Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because once you have evolved to that level, then you know how to atract into your life all the other good things you desire.
I read all 7 lessons and am very intrigued, many things you speak about, I have read about before. Yet now is the time to take it more seri­ously, and I will.
Thank you

Nan Far? says

Hi Burt -

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is most impor­tant. Hav­ing moved my spirit into Earth, ani­mat­ing the ele­ments onto a being to expe­ri­ence time and space, over and over again, my spir­i­tu­al­ity, my con­scious­nous is the only thing that is per­ma­nent. All else is dynamic to my spirit, ebbs and flows and returns to dust.

:>

Tom says

I’ve lived enough to expe­ri­ence local­ized dimen­tional exis­tances within our United States. I’m in a “fielded bub­ble” of with I can’t escape with­out “MONEY”. My love is for the fam­ily I wish to be near to, with all my heart. Thwarted by forces way beyond “faith”, (that has no effect here!). I’m in a land of which sun­shine and joy is the tor­ture, unat­tain­able because some force in the uni­verse amuses itself to see you scratch and claw ’till you try and try every way ’till you run out of space, time, and options. I have a “GOOD” heart, It’s focused on only a few loved ones and the power to change their lives and their children’s lives, for they are my own.

Lissa says

I choose rela­tion­ships and spir­i­tu­al­ity because with
spir­i­tu­al­ity every­thing else falls into place, you will
feel guided by your higher power and know that you are
fol­low­ing your true plan on this earth. I choose rela­tion­ships because they are so very impor­tant earthly
expe­ri­ences and with­out earthly true,loving rela­tion­ships life is full of happiness,joy,and purpose.

Rosie says

Hi Burt
At first I did not know which to choose. Then I thought maybe spir­i­tu­al­ity, but here in the World I am not alone, so to achieve that goal I need rela­tion­ships. So I chose rela­tion­ships because we are all One and are here to learn how to be One through love.

Cheers

John says

I , also, chose spir­i­tu­al­ity. With­out that, noth­ing else will come. Money is of great con­cern to me also, but, I know that my con­nec­tion to Spirit is the most pre­cious thing I have.

Ela from Poland says

Beloved Burt
I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity, as then I grow inside I can love deeper, be more open, get wis­dom, know myself bet­ter and give much more to the world.
God bless you, your pol­ish friend Ela

Katherine says

Spirit is most impor­tant to me, it gives rea­son and under­stand­ing to every­thing around you. Even if you do not like what is going on at the moment just take a deep breath, step back, and look around; then you can deal with it.

dave says

With spir­i­tu­al­ity I can have all the rest.

Arlene says

I chose Joy although all those areas are impor­tant to me. I lost my dear sweet mother last week and I have no joy in my life right now. I am hop­ing to get it back because where I am now is a ter­ri­ble place to be.

zabir says

pas­sion is the thing that dri­ves our life„…

Lucy says

They’re all impor­tant, but I chose money because with­out being able to pro­vide the basic neces­si­ties of life, includ­ing health insur­ance, good food, and a roof over our heads, we can’t be as healthy as we would like. Every sin­gle thing is impor­tant — espe­cially spir­i­tu­al­ity and joy — but con­stant con­cern for even the sim­ple every­day things in life takes a toll.

Cheryl Saunders says

with no money you get depes­sion so to be healthy money comes first.

Julie says

With a con­nec­tion to a lov­ing God any­thing is pos­si­ble. There is noth­ing I can not get through. Shine Light & Send Love for the greater good of all. See every­one in their high­est light.

Hazel says

Hi Burt,

I have no idea what would i be with­out spir­i­tu­al­ity. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the key to every­thing i believe.

Victoria says

All else stems from my con­nec­tion to myself (Spirit)…that about sums it up, I think

Lawrence says

I voted for health although I like all of the other options that were avi­able. Last year I had shoul­der surgery on my left shoul­der and this year I am going through shoul­der surgery on my right shoul­der. I saw my grand­fa­ther suf­fer from weak painfull shoul­ders when he was old. I see my father who is about the same age as you Burt suf­fer­ing from very weak shoul­ders also. When I was about 56 I was hav­ing sighns of devel­op­ing the same prob­lems with my shoul­ders. I am thank­full to mod­ern med­ical sci­ence thet is able through surgery to cor­rect and fix my shoul­ders. So as I grow older I will have nor­mal healthy pain free shoul­ders, some­thing that was not avail­able for my grand­fa­ther and father. I feel that with strong healthy shoul­ders it would be eas­ier for me to con­tinue on work­ing mak­ing money. Also enjoy all of the other val­ues that you had to select from also.

Marc says

I think the same : today every­thing is too much liked with money. Money “buy” every­thing ! Health, wealth, nice car, nice home and gar­den, nice pets… Every­body wants this kind of life ! So … like many oth­ers, I con­sider Money as the first step toward hap­pi­ness.
But maybe I am wrong.…

jag says

energy links to most of the other options and if you can learn to con­trol your energy the qual­ity of your life will INCREASEEEEEEE

Maria says

HI Burt,

I chose JOY as being the most impor­tant in my Life. Being in Joy brings all the rest: the health, the money, the pas­sion for every­thing you can cre­ate. Joy attracts beauty, brings the right peo­ple into your life at just the right time and the Energy in the state of JOY is light and worry free. The feel­ing of Joy is won­der­ful and it elim­i­nates our fears and wor­ries. The Joy we share reflects to oth­ers their own Light and their own power, they too possess.

Kristina says

I guess I think of this dif­fer­ently, if you are happy and your rela­tion­ships are strong, then every­thing else falls into place. My next choice would have been spir­i­tual, as I believe they go hand in hand.

Steve J says

With­out some sense of direc­tion, how is one to decide what is impor­tant? If there is no des­ti­na­tion, or pur­pose, who cares? Should I?

But if some mea­sure of pur­pose is dis­cerned, or acknowl­edged, then we can define passion.

If i can develop some pas­sion for some­thing, for any­thing, then the other items, health, money, etc, start to have some relevance.

Audrey says

When you feel the love of the cre­ator source in your heart every­thing else seems unim­por­tant. Answers come freely. My goal is to get in touch with this feel­ing again.

Chanchal says

FOR ME EVERY LIVING-BEING MUST HAVE LIFE IN HIS /HER LIVING .I LOVE RESPECT AND PROVIDE GOOD CARE TO KIDS ELDERS
AND FRIENDS.I WISH THAT THOSE WHO ARE AROUND ME MUST FEEL THE WARMTH OF LOVE AND SEE THEIR POTENTIALS TAKE SHAPE.
I, ALSO, WISH TO SEE PEOPLE HAVING ENOUGH FAITH IN GOD, AS WELL AS, IN THEMSELVES THAT CAN PREVENT THEM FROM TAKING EXTREME STEP ‚SUICIDE.PLEASE GUIDE ME TO BE MORE HELPFUL FOR SOCIETY.

DEEP REGARDS
CHANCHAL.

Larry Young says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant to me, sim­ply because I think that it encom­passes all of the oth­ers. Spir­i­tu­al­ity to me means empow­er­ment, empow­er­ment to me means liv­ing life fully. To be healthy in all aspects of one’s life, rather it be phys­i­cally, emo­tion­ally, finan­cially. You can be deal­ing with a health issue but yet be spir­i­tu­ally empow­ered. You can be going through emo­tional cri­sis but it can be spir­i­tual growth. You can have minus zero dol­lars in your bank account but be rich in the spirit. So, for me although the oth­ers are impor­tant, they all fall within the con­cept of spirituality.

Milla says

Love is the only one. With love, every­thing is pos­si­ble. If we humans learn to love each ote­her, all prob­lems are solved: no wars, no hatress, no famine in the world as neigh­boors share food with neigh­bours, no dis­ease as money used to develop weapons of masses destruc­tion is used to develop good medecine and med­ica­tion, no gree­de­ness as riches would share wealh with poors, and on and on.….LOVE IS THE ONLY ONE THING VERY IMPORTANT

Mubeena says

I believe that if we have the energy or the will to make a dif­fer­ence, then we will have the pas­sion, the moti­va­tion to make that dif­fer­ence. I’m equat­ing energy with the will here — whether it is born of intense neg­a­tiv­ity or the most joy­ous pos­i­tive sen­ti­ment — this moti­vates us to get up and do some­thing to change our life — so long as we aren’t moti­vated, no mat­ter what we hear and know is good/bad for us, we won’t take that first step to change what we want to change. And I do believe that we can change our sit­u­a­tion in terms of money, or health or any­thing else if we set our minds to it!!

collisb says

I said rela­tion­ships because with­out other peo­ple in my life what is the point of it all ?

Jacqui says

Dear Burt,

Pas­sion. With­out pas­sion there is no desire for any of the things listed below it. Approach every­thing with a pos­i­tive pas­sion (or vigor) , believe in your­self and any­thing is pos­si­ble. Thank you Burt, your Mind­Box has helped me in more ways than words can express.

Sandi says

I vote spir­i­tu­al­ity, for the rea­sons cited above. It is from this that every­thing else arises.

Money and health and joy are all very impor­tant. But they all have a sin­gu­lar source, and as long as we look for hap­pi­ness in things, even if that thing is our body, we will be look­ing– not finding.

April says

I chose energy because it’s both an abil­ity and an indi­ca­tor for me. With energy, I can get out and do what is nec­es­sary to pro­cure the other things. Also, when I’m doing things that I enjoy, and that mean some­thing to me, it pro­duces more energy, so I know I’m on the right track.

Maralyn says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity. Con­nec­tion to the source — which is within — all things are possible.

Lynn says

With rela­tion­ships you can­not share any­thing you have such as joy. Wouldn’t spir­i­tu­al­ity be con­sid­ered a relationship?

Ranney says

To achieve all health,joy, wealth, pas­sion, spir­i­tu­al­ity rela­tion­ships etc etc we must have awe­some pos­i­tive energy. All things in life starts with feeling/vibration from within us neg­a­tive or pos­i­tive and we have to have the right energy to under­stand and use it right. You can achieve all bless­ings with this energy.

brett says

Burt,
I own many of your course,I think they are great.
I believe that if you have a true joy in your heart,
that will trans­mit to all areas of your life.You will not feel a lack of any thing. Go out and do an Act of Ran­dom Kind­ness everyday…It will change your life.

AwareOne says

I chose Energy. Not the kind of energy that pow­ers our houses or vehi­cles. I’m refer­ring to:

“Energy is Every­thing and Every­thing is Energy,” just in dif­fer­ent forms.

This is a fun­da­men­tal, uni­ver­sal, multi-dimensional Truth both phys­i­cally and meta­phys­i­cally. Rec­og­niz­ing Truth is “Know­ing.” This is dif­fer­ent than Believ­ing or hav­ing Faith in some­thing. To “Know Truth” encom­passes direct expe­ri­ence. To believe or have faith requires indi­rect experience.

As a child you are told that the fire is hot and will burn you and you have no rea­son not to believe, so you do. But you will Not “Know” the fire is hot until you expe­ri­ence the burn directly.

There­fore, Joy, Health, Rela­tion­ships, Spir­i­tu­al­ity, Money, Beauty, Pas­sion and any­thing else that might mat­ter to you is sim­ply Energy.

Under­stand­ing the nature of Energy, allows you to Expe­ri­ence the Truth of Everything.

In other words, you may very well be the most healthy, beau­ti­ful, wealthy, pas­sion­ate, joy­ful, spir­i­tual, indi­vid­ual with rock solid func­tional rela­tion­ships with every­one you know, and still be igno­rant of the fun­da­men­tal Truth that all of these things are Energy.

Health will decline, beauty will fade, wealth is rel­a­tive, pas­sions pass, joy is depen­dent, spir­i­tu­al­ity is formed, and rela­tion­ships are situational.

Energy is all of the above, it is True, and Know­ing this allows you to align your­self with Everything.

- Steven

Aina says

This is a pro­found ques­tion that leads to deep intro­spec­tion. I oscil­lated between health and spir­i­tu­al­ity, as I believe that with­out holis­tic health the spir­i­tual path is chal­leng­ing. But then, with­out a belief in the one­ness of life, holis­tic health if dif­fi­cult to attain. Holis­tic health includes the spir­i­tual as well as the physical.

If health is defined as includ­ing phys­i­cal, psy­cho­log­i­cal and spir­i­tual, I have to pick HEALTH.

Avril says

I’ve cho­sen money as all those other things jump out of the win­dow when poverty knocks at the door! Avril

maria says

For me Joy is the most impor­tant because ithink what peo­ple look for in their life is hap­pi­ness. If we have Joy in our heart then we will be happy. And if we happy, feel grate­ful, we will be healthy since our immune sys­tem can work well, and I think we can reach our dream eas­ier too.

Rose says

Hi Burt,
That is really a very good ques­tion, makes a per­son think. I feel like these are all inter­linked. They are all impor­tant. Spir­i­tu­al­ity cre­ates Joy,Passion,Energy, ect.. Just as Joy seems to cre­ate a higher con­nec­tion to spir­i­tu­al­ity, energy, health, it makes rela­tion­ships won­der­ful. I can’t exactly say that Joy cre­ates money,
exactly-but it seems like if I keep a joy­ful heart, I just seem to know that no mat­ter what the prob­lem is it will be resolved, I’ve never been rich, I’ve never had every­thing I’ve wanted, But I can hon­estly say that all my needs have always been ful­filled. And I’ve been through some pretty rough patches in life. If I car­ried doubt and worry, the prob­lems per­sisted, If I released the worry the prob­lem went away. It’s just amaz­ing, whether you choose spir­i­tu­al­ity, joy, energy,passion, it all cre­ates an abun­dence of bet­ter­ness in health in relationships,in beauty, money wise– it just seems like you find away, like a path opens up to you, and every­thing some­how works out. So Smile, lighten up, and Enjoy.

Vickie says

I selected Pas­sion because it is clear to me we can­not be healthy if we are not pas­sion­ate about being healthy. We can­not be joy­ful if we are not pas­sion­ate about being joy­ful. Same with the rest — one must feel the pas­sion to have any­thing at all, even spir­i­tu­al­ity. The feeling-place is the start­ing place, with­out which, there is noth­ing, but with which, there is every­thing. Hard choices, those!

carol says

I’d like a lot of energy to enjoy all the oth­ers.
OK — I men­tioned enJOY but when I am tired or drained I don’t enjoy with that lovely, clear sense of appre­ci­a­tion or share rela­tion­ships well or wisely man­age money — every­thing goes along bet­ter with a bit of energy even meditation.

Rudy says

I need money now but I vote for spir­i­tu­al­ity as the most impor­tant for me because it will guide me on how I will be using the money, mainly for the kind of com­mu­nity ser­vice that I have long envisioned.

Carla says

I chose rela­tion­ships because if you have healthy, lov­ing, car­ing an respect­ful rela­tion­ships with the peole in your life then you can achieve anything

Dear Burt,

I chose health, but for me health means spir­i­tual and phys­i­cal health as both of these are essen­tial to be able to enjoy or pur­sue your pur­pose on life. Spir­i­tual health is impor­tant because being spir­i­tu­ally unfit can cause a myr­iad of prob­lems in our bod­ies which affect our phys­i­cal health. With all the tur­moil, con­fu­sions and con­cerns about our econ­omy, I think peo­ple for­get how rich we are just to have our phys­i­cal health. Each morn­ing, we are blessed to be able to wake up and get out of bed in the morn­ing, walk, eat and think. Alot of times we do these actions/functions with­out a thought of how com­plex the most sim­ple move­ments are or how impor­tant wak­ing up in a state of sound mind with all of our fac­uli­ties in tact is. I believe that even if we had no money but had our spir­i­tual and men­tal health, we are able to man­i­fest what we feel we lack in other areas.

Aggrey says

I chose money coz as a per­son at 36 years and with a health chal­lenge and never had any for­mal employ­ment, I feel it’s the lack of finan­cial afflu­ence that has and still tor­ments my life. With money I can build and main­tain rela­tion­ships and even develop my spir­i­tu­al­ity as I could buy all I need for whichever area I want to develop. God has given me the mind, soul and body to develop and as far as I’m con­cerned Money has been my main let down.

susanne says

Dear Burt,
I chose rela­tion­ships because we have ‘a rela­tion­ship’ with every­thing else in the list. Suc­cess in any area in our lives depends on that relationship.

Love Susanne

Anna says

health it is some­thing we take for granted as long as we are healthy but with­out it is very dif­fi­cult to enjoy life , hap­pines and to have pas­sion .
regards Anna

Tina says

With­out the two life has no mean­ing for me. That is how I set my pri­or­i­ties: My heart!

Maria says

This world is energy in a matrix form.
No energy -> no mind -> no world. Every­thing that has a start and an end con­tains energy in form.

My per­sonal choice would have been bal­ance or equi­lib­rium, which is some­thing you do with the energy.

wan says

Health is the sin­gle most impt aspect of life to me. With out good Health, one is very much lim­ited in enjoy­ing all the other aspects of life be it good food, music, rela­tion­ships, work, play, con­tribut­ing to char­ity etc..

Thanks

Rosaline says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is what makes us all human. It is what shapes us and guides us to form con­nec­tions with other peo­ple. With­out a spir­i­tual con­nec­tion of any kind, we would be on a level that is sim­i­lar to ani­mals or plants. Of course they are alive and serve a pur­pose too. But, with­out a spirit to con­nect to our Creator…we would only be another life on the planet, void of a higher ever­last­ing purpose.

We all here for a spe­cific rea­son and serve a spe­cific pur­pose that was designed from the begin­ning of time. No one is an acci­dent even if our begin­ning wasn’t planned by our par­ents. It is up to each of us to dis­cover what that pur­pose is through var­i­ous means. The best way in my hum­ble opin­ion is to go to the eter­nal Source for the answers and then apply those answers to our lives. A life con­nected through the spirit is a life worth living!

Manoj says

It’s money Burt, hav­ing enough of it (although it’s never enough:-)) will ensure you can find solu­tions to almost every­thing ..ugly –plas­tic surgery , unhealthy– go to the best doc­tors, bad rela­tion­ships– every­one likes money and rich peo­ple etc.…

Satish says

Dear Burt,

I enjoy read­ing your mail,it is uplifting.

I had 3 choices,Health Joy and Spi­itu­al­ity. Finally I opted for Joy. I asso­ci­ated Joy as an out­come of Abun­dance in Life,which is all– encom­pas­ing. Over­con­cern for health can lead to Hypochon­dri­asm. Spir­i­tu­al­ity can get mixed with rit­u­als and hence tagged. It is plain sim­ple Joy which is free­dom with­out boundaries,no tags, no ifs etc etc.

Sankar V says

Hi,

Spir­i­tu­al­ity mat­ters most as rest forms part of illu­sion or not real joy.

Real joy lies inside one­self which is attain­able only through Spirituality.

The ulti­mate pur­pose of Human life is to real­ize who am i and who is god and approach his des­tiny which is pos­si­ble through Spirituality.

–Sankar.

eric says

money is most impor­tant and least important.Having finan­cial free­dom offers one the oppor­tu­nity to have all the rest. Break it down to basic human needs to sur­vive, then food,safety and shel­ter come up tops. A hun­gry man is an angry man. There­fore when basic neces­sity are an issue, money becomes very impor­tant. How­ever, if you have enough to cover at least food,then money takes a back seat and you have time to indulge in all these other things… Think about it, even to learn the secrets of man­i­fest­ing any­thing your heart desires requires that you exchange some­thing of value eg)money, before this infor­ma­tion can be shared with you. If you want to go for a roman­tic vaca­tion, money , lots of it is required. Want to eat healthy(organic food), go to the gym, etc you need money. Even con­sid­er­ing to fol­low the path of spir­i­tu­al­ity and say becom­ing a monk liv­ing in a monastery requires that some­one, some­where pays for your up keep. How­ever once your basic needs are not an issue any­more, then money stops being very important…

austin says

Dear Burt,
Spir­i­tu­al­ity is first.
But, health is also equally very impor­tant, with­out which one can­not per­form phys­i­cal dis­ci­pline required to travel towards the final goal-spirituality.
Kindly let me know what is that in your mind.
with much love and high­est regards
austin wil­son

Katya says

Burt,

I find it unnerv­ing that we are expected to choose the most impor­tant thing in our life. All of the options are required to lead a full and reward­ing life, with­out the bal­ance of which you teach, we are off kil­ter which leads to more prob­lems in our lives.

Katya

Paula says

With­out joy there wont be any health, any hap­pi­ness, any money, any pas­sion… Joy is like the life force com­pletely essen­tial to your qual­ity of life.

Sussan says

Joy and humor are very impor­tant to feel­ing good, which in turn gives good health. Being true to your­self is also part of it.

Zeljko says

The love is the most impor­tant, with­out love one is empty. Then money. If you have enough money you can get free­dom in this world and you could help peo­ple and ani­mals. Money is good, but its usage can bi bad.

Lola says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity: The only way to bal­ance body and soul and achieve all goals in this 3d life…

lisa says

If i could I would of cho­sen a few: spir­i­tu­al­ity, passion,love, rela­tion­ships, and joy. But since the ques­tion only accepts one answer; I chose joy because with­out joy, grate­ful­ness, rela­tion­ships, pas­sion, love and health are not there.
If you are not joy­ful and happy all aspects of life are not full­filled and neg­a­tive emo­tions seep into you life and life begins to spi­ral in a down­ward direc­tion– at least that has been my expe­ri­ance. 20 years ago I would have cho­sen money but money truly doesn’t bring last­ing joy.
Per­son­aly I wake up every­day grate­ful, thank­ful, and with joy that I get to expe­ri­ance another day!

Sudha Howell says

Hi Burt,

I chose Joy. When I am Joy, I am less affected by worry, despair etc. I also view the world with com­pas­sion and humil­ity and that shields me from my fear and also neg­a­tiv­ity from out­side sources.

Anchor­ing myself in joy keeps expectancy and enthu­si­asm alive and that is an end in itself. How­ever, since that is the state to be in to man­i­fest ones desires then that just is an added bonus.

Joy keeps me in a place of humil­ity and devo­tion and that to me is what gives me strength to go on and find a way through the chal­lenges that I face which is not on my list of desires. Joy also keeps our inno­cence alive which is what I believe one should pre­serve and nur­ture regard­less of what one expe­ri­ences in ones life.

So, I choose Joy.

Sudha

Reiner says

Beauty,Energy,and Joy are every­where for those who can see.

In this life:Good Health and Rela­tion­ships, Money, well yes, very impor­tant for sur­vival and for spread­ing it to the real needy.

Beyond and into Infin­ity — Spir­i­tu­al­ity is everything.

Makec says

Regard­ing my life expe­ri­ence joy is fun­da­men­tal. Liv­ing in joy brings me health, pas­sion, good rela­tion­ships, energy.
Wish to you all a joy­full spring.

Angel says

I chose rela­tion­ships because I feel we work through every other area through our rela­tion­ship with God — first, and then the peo­ple with whom we live, work and interact(His chil­dren). Every­thing improves once we have a con­nect with God — life revolves around fur­ther­ing our spir­i­tu­al­ity. Our pas­sion and energy to live increase, allow­ing us to do every­thing well. Focus­ing on our atti­tude to con­tribute our­selves & our time whole­heart­edly to our work helps to improve our health, hence our joy & inner beauty are unleashed. With clearer objec­tives & deeper moti­va­tion our mon­e­tary health is aug­mented. All this brings us to a great sense of con­tent­ment that we are not just exist­ing, but liv­ing life to the fullest.

Sai says

Burt,

To me, health is most impor­tant. That’s the base using which you can start pur­su­ing the oth­ers and not only that, with­out it, it would be hard or impos­si­ble to enjoy the oth­ers. Even spir­i­tu­al­ity comes sec­ond, because as Yogananda ji says, if you don’t have good health (ner­vous sys­tem) it is dif­fi­cult to attain the heights of spir­i­tu­al­ity. So yup, health it is, for me.

sylvie says

spir­i­tu­al­ity, because it’s the door to fully real­ize yourself

Kalpana says

Spirituality…because if you are evolved to that level(which I hope to achieve) then the rest are all temporary…annicha.

Noelle says

Dear­est Burt,

For me I chose rela­tion­ships, as it is in the rela­tion­ships that you find pas­sion, love, joy, energy etc. If your rela­tion­ship is not as good as it can be, every­thing else tends to slide by as well.

samy reddy says

Well I think when we have health we can get all the remain­ing ben­e­fits like money, spir­i­tu­al­ity etc. Peo­ple must strive to be healthy both phys­i­cally and spiritually.

Ron says

Energy is impor­tant to me. With energy I can live ener­get­i­cally. Oth­ers can heal them­selves if I pro­vide the nec­es­sary energy. What we call Real­ity is formed from energy. Through energy, any and all changes can be made in life.

Lynday says

Hi Burt,

The rea­son I voted Spir­i­tu­al­ity is because where would I be with­out my Spirit? I would be non-existent. I am doing my best to become aligned and liv­ing a life that allows my Spirit and my phys­i­cal self to be inte­grated and I believe that by doing so every good thing that I desire in my phys­i­cal life will come into existence.

Thank you for ask­ing,
Lynday

mohun says

pos­i­tive rela­tion­ship keeps u happy,it gives u peace of mind and hapyness-it makes you healthy,u remain in a state of bliss and achieve salvation

sudhindra says

I chose rela­tion­ship because if I main­tain a good rela­tion­ship with peo­ple around me, keep­ing myself and oth­ers happy, then, I will be moti­vated to acheive and get all the other things I want on earth. On the con­trary, if I do not share good rela­tion­ship with peo­ple around me and am unhappy, I dont have a strong reason/cause to acheive any­thing good on this earth. so be happy and keep oth­ers happy:)

Loey says

I put rela­tion­ship because I need fam­ily and friends around. I would love mony but I can sit and talk and laugh with my fam­ily and friends. If I am not well, I have the sup­port of fam­ily and friends. They give me energy,life,fun and you do not have to be a beauty queen because they make you feel beau­ti­ful inside. You will have energy because you will want to go out (or stay in) and enjoy life with peo­ple you love and they will sup­port me and let me be me. Money can­not buy love, health or hap­pi­ness. Wow, this is such a hard ques­tion. Love it.

bernadette says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, life is short. We should live our lives for what will out last our time on earth. I believe all parts of life are impor­tant . I would choose love first but it was not on the list.

Lotus says

P A S S I O N ! PASSION ! Passion !

At first I thought per­haps energy but finally I think it’s PASSION. Pas­sion for life! Pas­sion is the dri­ving force, it will stir up your energy.

With pas­sion and energy you will have everything!

Burt, I love your top­ics! I admire the pas­sion you have for life.

Jessica says

Joy can always be when every­thing else is lim­ited or con­fus­ing in our lives. Joy is love and love should be received and given unconditional.

Naveen Narang says

Sir,

To my mind, health is the fore­most in life. With­out health, all are of no use. At the same time, money is very essen­tial. There is a pop­u­lar say­ing, ’ Money is not every­thing, but money has an impor­tant role to play’.

Regards

Naveen

Teresa says

I chose JOY. With joy you have the cre­ative force to cre­ate all other things. When cre­at­ing out of joy, you have spir­i­tu­al­ity (top impor­tance) and it is joy­ful. Joy is fan­tas­tic energy. So, you have energy. Joy brings healthy rela­tion­ships and peo­ple are attracted to JOY. Joy attracts wealth. When Joy expresses in direc­tion with a mis­sion, that’s pas­sion. Joy causes me to notice the beauty in a baby’s face, the beauty of nature, flow­ers, trees, and all liv­ing things. Joy makes for heal­ing and a healthy body.
Teresa

Marlene says

When you are healthy, you can achieve all other things, maybe not always eas­ily but you can. Money is the sec­ond most impor­tant thing, it gives you the free­dom required to do the things you really want to do.

Rajesh says

Hi I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, because one goes in search of Health, Wealth, Money, etc., but when you are in Spir­i­tual path all the above will come in search of you, hence Spir­i­tual path is the best..:)

Paul says

I have said pas­sion, I sug­gest that by fol­low­ing your pas­sion you are actu­ally con­nect­ing with your intu­ition and your higher self. In fact fol­low­ing the path that is right for your­self in this life. Pas­sion is the cre­ative aspect of spirituality.

By focus­ing on your pas­sion, money, health and life will flow, it is amaz­ing how the things you need appear, some­times in quite strange unex­pected ways.

The trick is find­ing your pas­sion and liv­ing it.

Paul

Joe says

If I have energy, I have health, spir­i­tu­al­ity, pas­sion and joy. If I have these I get the money and what­ever else I want if I’m patient and persistent.

Kordula says

Chal­leng­ing ques­tions… All of the above are strong and mean­ing­ful areas.

Energy is my choice. It helps to accom­plish and suc­ceed in all other areas. By uti­liz­ing Energy, mov­ing for­ward and excelling on all lev­els is absolutely possible.

Valentin says

Joy, I feel is on my pri­mary list of life. Although, I would’ve cho­sen all of them, JOY is on the top of my list..because how can you live a healthy life or feel healthy even though you’re sick?, with­out the feel­ings of joy to boost your spir­its. How can you find spir­i­tu­al­ity?, if there is no hap­pi­ness, no hope in your life. How do you hope to make money or become wealthy if you are always feel­ing sad, and there is no JOY in your life. The same with all the other virtues. With­out hap­pi­ness, how do you hope to suc­ceed at what you seek.

Bruce says

I said rela­tion­ships. Even though I have had major health prob­lems, I am a “sur­viver”. The most impor­tant thing that helped in my recov­er­ies each time, was the love and sup­port of my great part­ner (my soul mate) and my chil­dren. I am blessed.

Indran says

“Rela­tion­ship’ is the only area that i cant cope up with…i have been going through very sim­i­lar pat­tern of relationship/heartbreaking situations.….and cer­tainly that is the only aspect of my life that has been demo­ti­vat­ing me and slow­ing me.…I believe if i am able to cor­rect it and have a wonderful/right rela­tion­ship than i would be able to move for­ward in very area of my life…

Mustafa says

I have selected spir­i­tu­al­ity because every thing depends upon it.Every door opens with spirituality.It is the main key for all.

Praful Gandre says

Energy is the most impor­tant require­ment of my life with­out which I can not achieve what I want . I want to learn so many things , remem­ber and use them to get the ulti­mate peace of life.

Lynda says

Joy Joy Joy Bert! Yes health is impor­tant if we want to stay alive, spir­i­tu­al­ity is expe­ri­enced in Joy, and so on. We ARE energy! I want to be happy. I need more Joy though, so…it’s JOY! Rela­tion­ships we have. Money comes when we con­tinue to live inside JOY! Yep, JOY.

boi says

Hi Burt I work 12 hours a day so enery ise very impor­tant for me to make money and keep staff on but spirit ise impor­tant too bea­cause it make me hope

Farrokh says

Health is the most impor­tant thing in my life.If health is not there then then all other choises losses its lus­ter. After health I would pre­fer good rela­tion ship and if you have these two then then every thing else is added unto it. God bless you.keep doing what you are doing.

Jan says

Rela­tion­ships are most impor­tant to me, because, what­ever you have, it means noth­ing if you can’t share it with friends and family.

Georgia says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because I feel that is the foun­da­tion of life. When you are close to God all else
will be pro­vided for you. Just look­ing around at the
beauty that God has pro­vided makes you full of joy.
Hav­ing the faith that God will heal you gives you good
health. Putting God first in your life brings hap­pi­ness
and full­fill­ment in every­thing that you do and also with
your fam­ily and relations.

Helen says

I picked money because it would give me a sense of secu­rity and freedom.And from there I could work on my spirituality,health,etc.

Phyllis says

I chose rela­tion­ship because my hus­band and chil­dren mean every­thing to me. With­out them I can not be happy and money would not bring joy. I have always had good health because of my upbring­ing so that is not a concern.

romeo says

I am a poor inven­tor with so many ideas that will never be realised because I don’t have the money. So as of this instance money is most impor­tant to me.

Elsa says

You have to be pas­sion­ate about some­thing to make a suc­cess of it. My per­sonal opin­ion. If I can­not be passionate/enthusiastic about some­thing, does not mat­ter if it is about work or per­sonal life, then it will not be a success.

John says

Burt I chose joy because thru joy I will have pas­sion, beauty, money, health, enery, spirtuality,or relationships,but this all has to come from the orig­nal authenic truth. Thanks Burt I really like your stuff!!

Ganesh Malviya says

Rela­tion­ship:

Because rela­tion­ship keep per­son always alive, even after death.

God is within human being. If we love every human that means we love GOD. Rela­tion­ship gives you every­thing that search in another things.

Vibhu says

Dear burt,
The ques­tion you had asked is very important,because as you had said and I do agree with you that,most of peo­ple dosent be able to realise that what is it which makes them happy,but I know that what makes us and espa­cially me,happy is to quench the thirst of my soul,to end the end­less search of some­thing which makes us happy,it would be only be pos­si­ble by becom­ing spritu­ally evolved.because hap­pi­ness comes from inside and not from outside,and the only way to become happy from inside is to become spritu­ally evolved.

Larry says

I think joy for if I am happy and filled with joy then I would have enough of the rest of the items. one can be healthy and still not have joy, and i have meant a lot of peo­ple who claimed to be spir­i­tual but they were not truly joyful

Robin says

Hi Burt, and many thanks for the things you are doing. Peace­ful and happy rela­tion­ships with my fel­low beings are what I feel most impor­tant to me. Of course health is impor­tant too, or I just might not be around, and with­out spir­i­tu­al­ity I might not care about these things, par­tic­u­larly my fel­low beings.

Sian Pemberton says

I clicked on spritu­al­ity first but some­thing stopped me.

I decided on Joy because if you have joy in your life, the chances are its because you already have spir­i­tu­al­ity as one leads to the other. If you have Joy, you are prob­a­bly already attract­ing money, health etc and you most cer­tainly will already have energy.

Louise says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is vital to our evo­lu­tion.
Our pur­pose is to allow our­selves to explore, expand, set “Free” our lim­ited under­stand­ing and expec­ta­tions of “life and who and what we are…”

To evolve, move beyond what we see, live in the NOW, noth­ing else mat­ters.
Release resent­ments, griev­ances and regrets. Honor our­selves as a Divine Being, with power to cre­ate and man­i­fest our desires…Passion, Beauty, Energy, Money, Rela­tion­ships, Health, Joy in “one­ness” with the “Spirit”…Fun, hap­pi­ness and con­tent­ment will fol­low. With gratitude.

Jim says

Energy is the com­mon denom­i­na­tor of all of our life’s activ­ity.
With­out energy we cease to exist for either good or ill.

Frankie says

I chose Health. With­out it there’s lit­tle of any­thing else

Thirunavukkarasu S says

Of all the given options I pre­fer rela­tion­ship, because with good relatuon­ships with all around you , you can get love, health, passion,etc. Spiru­al­ity is noth­ing but hid­ing your self under that and it is not living.Good health comes to you when you are loved by all around you and they will take away your sor­rows even if there is pain out of ill health or lack of money and mate­r­ial. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is felt only through fel­low humans and other liv­ing things not by self. A self can­not be happy if he/she is left alone with money, passion,energy, beauty, power, etc. Good rela­tu­ions lead you to happy life.

Penny says

THE TRUTH

Adolfo says

In my opin­ion, health is he most impor­tant to me because with­out it you are almost equal to zero.

With health you may have all other categories

Ellen says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant because every­thing flows from your con­nec­tion to the divine. Joy, rela­tion­ships, pas­sion, money — every­thing is known or under­stood in the con­text of spir­i­tu­al­ity. These tur­bu­lent times under­score this per­fectly. If you are focused on your com­mu­nion with Spirit, you can cen­ter your­self again much more eas­ily when you look at the value of your 401K, or you’re los­ing old rela­tion­ships (be it a job or a friend.) If your focus is on exter­nal, mind-based stuff, then these times prob­a­bly make you feel like you’re los­ing it!

Bret says

Burt,
Not a very fair ques­tion. every body has dif­fer­ent needs
at dif­fer­ent times. If your life is bal­anced your pretty
good in all of the areas. and each day you may be try­ing
to bet­ter your­self in a dirrerent area. the main thing
your will­ing to be hon­est with your­self and work in the
areas your lack­ing. the impor­tant thing is that each
night you go to bed you can feel like your a lit­tle bet­ter than you were the day before.

Andrew says

For me it is rela­tion­ships, because noth­ing is worth­while if you can’t share it with others

Ed says

With­out Health noth­ing else mat­ters. Sec­ond is the money to achieve your dreams. Money is fun­da­men­tally impor­tant and if you don’t think so, then send me yours.

Naomi says

JOY — vibrat­ing in joy will attract all the good things that you want… when you feel great your health is also good and every­thing seems to work out.

Rosario says

Dear Burt.

For me to be truly inte­gral with­my­self and sencere with you, I choose to be a Divine Roman­tic Spir­i­tual Lover. This means that I choose to be a Real Divine Roman­tic Lover Real­ized Man. Bu first, I must to be a Real Pas­sional Roman­tic Man in order to be that; And before that, In order to be a Real Pas­sional Roman­tic Man, I must to be a Ever­last­ing Life’s com­pan­ion; And before that too, I still must to be a best Teacher myself; and before that too, in order to be a best Teacher myself, First, of all, I must to be a best Friend; So here are all the five steps or the 5 lev­els as I have called in order to be all I love to be.

Now, Can YOU see WHY, So many rela­tion­ships do not work out well in life? You already know this. Can you see Why, So many cou­ples in the world are liv­ing unhappy right now? Can You see Why, So many mar­riages are broking up and many cou­ples are daily fight­ing with each oth­ers because they do not under­stand the real val­ues of life? Also, because they do not know how to really love each oth­ers in the right way. They do not seek the right way. They do not live the human way in tune and bal­ance with the divine way. They do not ask for Wis­dom first. Insted, some of them are ask­ing for Money, Health, Beauty, love, Pros­per­ity, per­fect espres­sion, Fame, suc­cess, But last wis­dom. I am not say­ing with this that they shouldnt ask for all these things. I just wanted to say that we all should ask for divine Wis­dom first, Then Joy, Then hap­py­ness and then all the oth­ers as well.

Can you see the pri­mary impor­tance of the divine wis­dom that I am shar­ing here with you and with oth­ers too. I feel that you are a Great Guru. These are some of the most impor­tant laws and uni­ver­sal val­ues that all the peo­ple should know and shall applay into their life.

But I know that in you case , You Are A Very Blessed Man, because, You are the first One that I share about these uni­ver­sal val­ues. You Are a Blessed Man and know that you are doing a good job here on earth right now.

Some one said, that noth­ing hap­pen for none rea­son. In this case, You have been illu­mi­nated by the divine wis­dom that I love to share with you. In the future we all should think deeply before we get into a rela­tion­ships with anyone.

Why I am shar­ing this with you my dear Friend? The answer it is very sim­ple; The prob­lem is that many peo­ple do not know yet, how to real start a real seri­ous friend­ship or a real seri­ous ever­last­ing rela­tion­ship with some­one or with the Beloved One.

They do not know yet about the five steps of the divine wis­dom. They do not know yet what are esactly those five lev­els which I will share with you now.

These are the five lev­els of Suc­cess. The five steps that each one of us are faced to take in life in order to cre­ate a per­fect rela­tion­ship with some­one or any­one you desire.

Burt, If one of this step in a rela­tion­ship between a man and a woman is miss­ing, you can be 100% sure that the rela­tion­ship between them will not work , and con­se­quentely the romance that was just born between them will be lost.

In this post you will find the Five Steps or the 5 lev­els that I deeply have con­sid­er­ate the most impor­tant in life, before we con­sid­er­ate to junp into any rela­tion­ship with anyones.

Try to take a look at them and tell me what do you really think about this wis­dom because it will be very apprec­ciate not only for me but also for the human­ity receiv­ing your per­sonal and divine consideration.

1. The first level is: (Friend­ship, be best friends with each oth­ers ); have Hon­esty, Grat­i­tude Sencer­ity, Loy­alty, For­give­ness, Compassion;

2. The sec­ond level is:(Mastery, Teach­ing, Shar­ing and Learn­ing) Give and Receive Sup­port, Help Each Oth­ers; Teach each oth­ers and Learn From Each Others;

3. The thirth level is:(Companionship Rela­tion­ship, Par­ent­ing, Hus­bund and Wife)= Mar­riage, Fam­ily, Chil­drens; House, affairs, money, Respon­s­abil­ity, edu­ca­tion, Car­ing, Service;

4. The fourth Level is: (Self Real­iza­tion Love)= Car­nal Love, Pas­sion, or Roman­tic Love, Give and Receive Love, Atten­tion, Car­ing, Affec­tion, Plea­sures, Com­pren­tion, Empa­thy, Support;

5. The Fifth Level is:(Divine Love or Spir­i­tual Love) Have uncon­di­tional love For your­self and the devine in you, Pray­ing and Med­i­tatate alone, together, or in a group, Have the same Vision in life with your life’s com­pan­ion­ship. Have the same Goals;

Also have dif­fer­ent Goals in life depend­ing on the knoledge and the evo­lu­tion of the per­son you are liv­ing with. Have uni­ver­sal val­ues, Wis­dom and a real divine pur­pose in life.

Have uncon­di­tional love for each oth­ers and oth­ers, Love the body, heart, mind and soul. Be as one with your beloved One. Love human­ity and all crea­tures. Love the whole uni­verse, and above all, love God.

If this make you really happy and make you feel good inside your­self as I am feel­ing good myself in shar­ing my real val­ues with you and human­ity, then, it means that we both have passed the first step of the first lev­els of Suc­cess and have succed the first level of our mutual, car­ing, shar­ing, respectu­ful and per­fect friendship.

Your Best Friend.
Rosario

Terri says

Money — I would love to have enough to take care of my mom bet­ter and main­tain my home. I take care of my mom full time, and with her fear of being alone, I’m unable to go to work to bring in the extra income that we truly need.

sandra says

GOD gave me his all, LOVE, HOPE,CARING ‚SHARING, POWER to heal FAITH, ALL. The least I can do is give back all I can. And let oth­ers know about what HE offers those who believe. Believe with­out a doubt!!!!

Teresa Chan says

To reach the spir­i­tual enlight­ment is the most impor­tant thing in my life. Because when you are enlight­ened, you will have every­thing you men­tioned. In order to attend such state of enlight­ment, Love must cul­ti­vated. It is the love of God, do we real­ize that we are one­ness of all. It is from the love of our hearts, our power returned. Thus power of immor­tal­ity, beauty, grace, joy, wealth and abun­dance arrived. Thank you Burt to be our friend.

Isis says

Rela­tion­ships is the most impor­tant aspect of life for me. We were cre­ated to love, and with­out it we are noth­ing. every­thing else is secondary.

Hikam says

I am a bit doubt­ful whether to choose health or spir­i­tu­al­ity, both have good rea­son, but I rather choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because when I am in deep on it I feel very calm, joy, pas­sion, have abun­dance of energy,… and I can get good health.

Jose Sanchez says

My Choice would be Energy.

I believe Energy includes all aspects.

Passion–Involves ENERGY
Beauty—Involve Energy
Money—-Involves ENERGY
Relationships–Involves ENERGY
Health—Involves ENERGY
Joy——Involves ENERGY
Spirituality—Involves ENERGY

Energy can not bet cre­ated nor destroyed.

Thanks,
Jose Sanchez

Rose says

Dear Burt

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity for the sim­ple fact,
when ones spirit is relex an’ uplifted, open, cleansed, guided ‚enlighten, ener­gized. love, hap­pi­ness, and peace and wealth will fol­low,
I live with some folks that have no spirit no good­ness no kind­ness just bul­lies and a bully the way through life.

I was not raised like that my grand­mother said with out spir­i­tu­al­ity.
One has noth­ing to offer them­selves nor any­one else,
she said keep your spir­itrelex in God an’clean, and noth­ing can ever hurt you

I do over stand this clearly.
When you have true spir­i­tu­al­ity you know who you are were you are going and you’re con­nected to the uni­verse.
And noth­ing can stand in the way of that.

My grand­mother was a cear­ing lov­ing very wise lady.
She talked to me about Silva courts and trav­el­ing all over the world and never leav­ing her apart­ment,
I was too young to under­stand that.
but I knew one day I would here it is a beau­ti­ful rela­tion­ship with my spirituality.

My grand­mother quan­tum jumps I didn’t even know what it was never had a name Burt until you gave it a name.
Now I know how my grand­mother learned to be a seam­stress, how she learned to ride a bike at the age of 50,
learn to ride a horse. Learn to shoot a gun, my grand­mother learnt many of these things were she was much older in life
She wanted to teach me as a young child I couldn’t sit still.
Long enough tore­lax i under­stand she said when I learned to quiet my mind My spirit to open up to the uni­verse.
the peace won­ders and beauty, I would find within the universe.

how she worked in vaude­ville years ago. I Never under­stood what she talked about what she talked about
her Silva court, but I do over stand more now and i want to learn even more now that I know how to med­i­tate
I’m so will­ing and ready to open.
my mind and spirit up to the uni­verse.
To its many won­ders and beauty peace And edu­ca­tion.
Thank you Burt for light­ning me I’m very inter­ested in med­i­ta­tion and more
I enjoyed noth­ing more than to be in med­i­ta­tion I find that you see things the way they really are I call med­i­ta­tion taken off the Rosie col­ored glasses.
See­ing things as they truly are.
In med­i­ta­tion, my spirit and mind are truly relax and open.
I am relax an’ at peace with my whole being.

And it feels so good. Like your reborn
and again, thank you Burt

Ranjit says

I chose Health. If i have a healthy body & mind, the rest of things will fol­low. Hav­ing cho­sen Health, my
pri­or­ity & prob­a­bly the only rea­son I look for­ward to lis­ten to you or Laura is Spir­tu­al­ity. I am gen­er­ally in good health & have an unend­ing “need” for Med­i­ta­tion. The more I med­i­tate, the more ful­filled & at Peace, I feel.
Be well.….

Dante Queiroz says

Dear Burt,
god be with all.

Spir­i­tu­ally,
with one mind as one, with­out the sep­a­ra­tion,
purety and knol­lege of good, with­out rea­son or jus­tice
you will have all, know­ing that every­thing is the way it should be.
nkow­ing, the walk, the talk, and the giv­ing, you will see your voice bein hear.
vio­lence attract jell
sick­i­ness attract hos­pi­tals
drogs attrac addic­tion
you are what you think
be what you give.
the ego makes man men­tal slave,
the sep­a­ra­tion makes man live in cave.
remen­ber,
the room with­out the ligth is dark,
know­ing to con­troll the ligth will give you life or death.

Karen says

I believe spir­i­tu­al­ity is most impor­tant to me because it is my belief that is the foun­da­tion of who we truly are. It has been my truth since I was a child although my belief sys­tem has changed quite dras­ti­cally over the years. But this is my point…without the spir­i­tual growth we are stuck in a box in my opin­ion and it gets quite dull and stuffy in there.

rod says

I think health is the most impor­tant.
rela­tion­ship, money and health all effect each other greatly,but long term ill­health has poten­tial to destroy both your money and rela­tion­ship weather it is your health or your part­ners health.
it very much depends on the per­sonal strength of you and your partner

Jim says

Burt,
At one point or another in my life I would have answered any of the above except spir­i­tu­al­ity. How­ever, I have come to the real­iza­tion that hav­ing one’s life in bal­ance spir­i­tu­ally brings peace, hap­pi­ness, wealth, health, friend­ship, and all of the other things listed. When my life is in bal­ance spir­i­tu­ally, all of the other things seem to come to me, even if it takes some effort. Any­thing worth having,is worth putting some effort into. But, when I fell spir­i­tu­ally dis­con­nected, it doesn’t seem to mat­ter how much effort I put into it, the rest of the things listed seem to elude me,or are attained in reduced levels.

Ivan Otto says

To me at the moment is money. I need to reunite with my wife which I love very much, but can not re-join until
I pay off all my debts.I am healthy and I hope that once we are together there will be hap­pi­ness as well.

Jutta says

with­out joy we are not hon­est in our endeavors..just doing things to please oth­ers. Spir­i­tu­al­ity springs from joy

Kenny says

I chose joy,for me to be truth­fully joy­ful i would have all of those things already (or work­ing toward a few of them like i dont need a rela­tion­ship to be trully happy) but mainly i would want energy,health and spir­i­tu­al­lity for joyfulness.Passion would would be nice to get afterwards.I would like to be finan­cially secure but definetlly not somthing i need at all.

What would yours be Burt? you might choose ALL of them no one said we couldn vote twice.

Rex Nichols says

Tough ques­tions but I chose real­tion­ships. The won­der­ful rela­tion­ships I have with my wife and my adult chil­dren (who also life with us) The rela­tion­ships are almost spir­i­tual at times and the love we share for each other increases my abil­ity to grow spiritually.

Migda says

To me spir­i­tu­al­ity. I believe spir­i­tu­al­ity can pro­vide me all the things I need in life. Thank you Burt to ask me about.

Carla says

Most of the time we need more than one of those items to be happy but with­out health — none of them mat­ter. When you are really sick you don’t care if you die right then and some­times you hope you do. All of the sud­den noth­ing seems to be impor­tant when you are really sick. I’m not talk­ing just a head cold — But it can be as sim­ple as a migrain that won’t let go for days or back pain that won’t let you sleep or sit or walk. Spir­i­tu­al­ity some­times will give you the tools to get rid of that pain but not many know how to do this with efficiency.

Bob says

It’s hard to be spir­i­tual, happy and all syrupy warm fuzzies, when you are broke and on the verge of being tossed out of your house — The Only peo­ple that can attain
to those heights is when you are finan­cially free
It takes money to make money and keep it

Deborah says

I choose JOY

Karen says

I chose joy because if i am in a state of joy I have suc­cess in all other areas.

Fran Hynes says

Hello Burt. I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it adds so much to all the oth­ers and as some­one has already men­tioned we are spirit.
Bless­ings to you and all you love,
Fran

Micki Baumgart says

Joy is most impor­tant because it comes from within. The other things CAN cause some joy, but true joy needs noth­ing else. Joy is there in a sun­set, a rain­bow, a camp fire. Joy is in your baby’s coo­ing, your cat’s purring, and the phone call from your col­lege stu­dent. Joy knows no age, color, class, or geo­graphic loca­tion. When you have joy, you know peace and are filled with love. And the best part is, no one can steal the joy from another! We are all in charge of our own joy. The other things may seem to be nec­es­sary to life, but only joy can sus­tain us through the darkness.

LAM says

I choose joy because you can have all the money in the world but if you are not happy but feel­ing sad and depressed all the time. Do you want it? Money can­not buy real joy only arti­fi­cial one but joy can brings you money. Right.

Dianne says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity.
I have found that this pro­vides me with the clar­ity and per­cep­tion to choose wisely through this human experience/adventure.

richard says

I have cho­sen money. While all are impor­tant, only money can really help fam­ily mem­bers and even­tu­ally include all the rest.

Freddy says

I pick Joy because joy can turn every­thing around. It is fun to have what you like. And it is nice to avoid what you don’t like. But if some­thing unpleas­ant can’t be avoided any atti­tude of depres­sion can be turned into joy. You are loved and important.

janja says

three things make me com­plet — health, hap­pi­ness and family.

Roger says

I believe joy is indis­pens­able. With it you will attract every­thing else on the list. Actu­ally I believe being joy­ful and being spir­i­tual are the same thing. Lov­ing every­thing and every­one is the goal, and rec­og­niz­ing we are all one. That is joyful.

Justin says

I believe that spir­i­tu­al­ity Is the most impor­tant aspect of life. For me this is the foun­da­tion of every­thing else on the list, all of the other things are man­i­fes­ta­tions of a spirit mov­ing in har­mony with itself and the universe.

Jean says

I chose health because I have seen too many mis­er­able wealthy peo­ple with poor health in the work I do. What is wealth when one do not have the health to enjoy it.

David says

Energy! Of course they are all impor­tant and intere­lated. Every­thing is a form of energy. It takes energy to be pas­sion­ate, healthy, joy­ful, to nur­ture rela­tion­ships, work at a job, make money,be joyful,and even to be spiritual!

donald stedman says

hi burt.my name is donald,spirituality is the way of the world,i will be buy­ing thihg from you for my study soon. your friend don­ald, we will be talking.

sonia says

i chose health with no health
you cant acom­plish anything.

Ed B says

Like Car­o­line I chose ‘Health’ as the first pri­or­ity for the same rea­sons Car­o­line cited. Also, it seems that your per­spec­tive changes a lit­tle with life’s negatve expe­ri­ences. I had good health the first 62 years of my life and then dur­ing the next 10 years, a heart attack, three months later heart surgery, then gall blad­der surgery, then three her­ni­ated discs in my back that are inop­er­a­ble ressult­ing in cronic pain, sleep apnia, and other minor health issues. Regard­less of the 10 bad years of health I am cop­ing very well and that is in a large part due to ‘Spir­i­tu­al­ity’. So per­haps they are equal in value and dif­fi­cult to judge which is #1.

Carmen says

I men­tioned spir­i­tu­al­ity because it is the base for gen­er­ate a bet­ter real­ity : aware­ness and wisdom

Angelia says

I selected Joy. I believe that with joy in your heart and every cell in your body, all the rest of what I would desire will make it’s way to me.

With Joy in your heart, your would look for­ward to every moment that life has to offer with­out regrets.

Joy is like the best fer­til­izer on the mar­ket, spread it around and you help oth­ers to have a spark of joy even if it’s just for one moment.

Angie

Irene says

Because it is the sub­stance of every­thing else.

Luz says

Health… with­out it you can’t have any­thing else, I would love to have the rest of list so I choose health!!!!

Juan says

i choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because spir­i­tu­al­ity is knowl­edge and power and also brings you closer to the almighty from all things are cre­ated. so you can have health, hap­pi­ness, joy and so forth…

Jim says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, but it was hard for me to do. The main rea­son is that most peo­ple equate spir­i­tu­al­ity with reli­gion, and they are really two dia­met­ri­cally opposed ideas. While reli­gion pur­ports to be spir­i­tual, it is really about money and con­trol. True spir­i­tu­ally has noth­ing to do with reli­gion and every­thing to do about who I really am.

I do not have a spirit, I am spirit. I have a body. Every­thing else on the list is con­cerned with this body and where it lives which is really only inci­den­tal to spirit.

It was, and is, hard for me to come to terms with my own spir­i­tu­al­ity because of bad reli­gious expe­ri­ences in the past. I am grad­u­ally over­com­ing that and learn­ing some real truths about life, love, peace, and hap­pi­ness in the process.

Alyn Yu says

Just being in the real state of JOY bal­ances all areas of one’s life. So, stop wor­ry­ing and just enjoy LIFE!

Sarina says

I chose joy because with joy comes peace and your spir­i­tual level increases and your pos­i­tive energy level increases so you can’t help but man­i­fest great things into your life.

Meera Sharma says

I am pas­sion­ate about life, for me with­out pas­sion one canot be engaged with life and a dis­sanged life is not really a life, it becomes like a hotel instead of home.Passion is the dri­ving force behind every act of trans­for­ma­tion. I love it.

Liliana says

Beauty
Because brings me joy, peace, spir­i­tu­al­ity, to see beauty in every­thing around me, I see it in nature how much God loves beauty he cre­ated a per­fect world full of beauty, the beauty of expres­sion thru the visual arts, noth­ing more beau­ti­ful than a baby’s smile, or watch­ing a young ani­mal play, the inner-beauty in a human being, etc etc.
Beauty gives me the strength when money, health, rela­tion­ships or any­thing else fails.
Beauty makes me feel pas­sion­ate about life and love.

Bob says

Hi Burt. Although I chose money, because it is the one area that is out of bal­ance, my true answer would have been all of the above (with the excep­tion of Beauty — which I don’t think I have ever con­sid­ered a pri­or­ity). I have beleived in bal­ance for a long time and although it has always been a bit of a jug­gling act, I have been able to keep all of those aspects in some kind of bal­ance. With the money thing right now, I seem to be lack­ing some­thing cre­ative because I seemed to be par­a­lyzed to act or to even know what to do next. I have been using your QDP pro­gram and I have to say that I have recently started to make some progress in this area.

That said, I think each one of those things(although I would change beautly for self esteem) are impor­tant in order to live a ful­fill­ing life.

Jacquelinn Kaiya says

Pas­sion ties it all together! Our ‘energy’ is fueled by pas­sion and pas­sion gives us bright eyed, rosy cheeked “health”. “Beauty’ and ‘money’ are empty with­out pas­sion to give them depth and fill them with ‘joy’. We are meant to live our lives with pas­sion filled “rela­tion­ships’ full of true love and inner beauty. The bible instructs Chris­tians to let their light shine. Pas­sion is what gives the glow to the light of spir­i­tu­al­ity. With­out pas­sion life is one dimen­sional instead of a full fledge four swim­ming in a bed of ecstasy. It is the spark of imag­i­na­tion that glis­tens in our mind’s eye and the thing that pushes us through each day look­ing for­ward to every adven­ture that awaits.

shell says

On Sept 12 1988 my life came to a crash­ing halt. No pun intended. I was in a headon col­li­sion with a trac­tor trailer that drove over top of my 1983 Mazda GLC. I was in a wheel­chair and they told me I would never walk again. I had a blood clot to my let lung 2 weeks after the acci­dent, they were able to resuci­tate me..so if your dead well… If you do not have your health it is very hard to find joy or to focus your energy on spir­i­tual mat­ters. Money can­not help you walk or heal and beauty who gives a fig new­ton when you are in a hos­pi­tal bed 24 /7 so all in all for me health is very important.

Rita says

I chose relationship,but i meant family.Because with­out fam­ily you have nothing.I think you need all the rest.I am very spir­tual& our need is very great for money.But if we stick together as a fam­ily, i think we can make it through anything.

bob says

Money gives you the choice to actively pur­sue all the oth­ers. How­ever, you must have a cer­tain level of matu­rity to prop­erly han­dle money and use it wisely

Roxann says

I chose rela­tion­ships, because with good rela­tion­ships, there is less stress and there­fore more of every­thing else. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Any of the other answers can be right, but I still choose relationships.

Manny says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, because we are pri­mar­ily spir­i­tual beings in phys­i­cal bod­ies and are here to con­tinue evolv­ing as such. When evolved we will awaken to the king­dom of heaven(our true rela­tion­ship to the source of our­selves) that is within.

suzanne says

Joy, because I want to live a happy life 7/24, every moment.

jerry says

I chose joy, when you are joyfull…it is all the wealth,all the health,all the energy,all the passion,and all inter­ac­tions flow. As well as, being con­ta­gious. How­ever, all things are con­nected, so it’s like the question…about the chicken or the egg, or the egg or chicken. On this mate­r­ial plane…money is the illu­sion we/some, believe brings about all the oth­ers things on your list, in the minds of peo­ple. As all passes,but joy is a con­stant. That Burt, is only my opinion/perception. I strive to be joyfull.Everything mate­r­ial brings a sen­sa­tion but its fleet­ing, once experienced.That’s why we buy another car,shoes, etc…
Yup! I have to say Joy…for me, of course.

C ya!
My spa­tial friend

Jerry

Bob Hollingsworth says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant because it comes with all,Health,Happynes,money and help­ing others.

Coralie says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity for with that comes pas­sion (for the health of this world), and joy (appre­ci­a­tion for all we have been given).

I have searched, and worked toward enlight­en­ment all my life, so for me the choice is easy. I yearn for the light, and spir­i­tu­al­ity is the only thing I can take with me when it is time to leave this world.

For me, it is the begin­ning and end of everything

allthereisiam says

I had to write — my choice, from the first moments of see­ing your emails sub­ject line “Ooh,ooh, I know — it’s LOVE. Being love to the best of my ability”

But it wasn’t in your list of choices, Burt.…

Tina says

Every­thing fol­low after Hap­pi­ness and Joy. If you are are happy per­son, all good comes to you. Just be happy, real happy and grate­ful for every­thing and the fact that you are alive. Enjoy every min­utes and sec­ond of your life and all good will come to you. Don’t worry, be happy is such short and sim­ple sen­tence but so true.

Betty says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity. It is there when every­thing else fails.
For me it is the same as love and for­give­ness.
Some­times not easy to give or get but rewarding.

katherine says

I chose money…which is the big thing on many people’s minds right now. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is my sec­ond very strong choice.…if money weren’t a con­cern, it would be spir­i­tu­al­ity first. Abun­dance cre­ates a safe, relaxed atmos­phere to allow all of the other facets to grow, expand, improve. Money.

Madi says

I chose health but wanted to choose all of them!

Ryan says

Hav­ing sex(relationship) wouldnt occur if your “health” isnt their. You cant get fit wirthout hav­ing the money to get nat­ural food, dont have the money cant buy the paint brush and paints, dont have the pas­sion cant be joy­full and you cant make money like that for­ever with­out it affect­ing you men­tal health, not liv­ing with spirit will take a toll on your health beauty, moti­va­tion ect.

Peace Ryan

Christine says

I thought of spir­i­tu­al­ity at first, but decided on joy because what kind of life can you have if you can’t be happy.The other side of this is neg­a­tiv­ity and we cer­tainly don’t need that to con­tend with.

Ryan says

This is just a mat­ter of per­cep­tion. The major­ity isnt right, nor the other way around. If you think about it any one of them could be impor­tant, just what you give your atten­tion to the most.

I chose Joy because that is the end result to what you desire.If you are in a state of joy then you have the energy, you are joy­full because you attract nice com­ments and are also view­ing beauty in your life, you are also being spir­i­tual by doing what you were put on this earth to do, you also have the money, rela­tion­ships, and are doing your pas­sion, pas­sion in relationships(sexual partner)

It depends on what has to hap­pen until you decide to be in a state of joy. Obvi­ously if you are Joy­full you have all the things above. From the votes I think their is a lack of beauty, LOL

They all con­nect, I could do the same expla­na­tion with any of them.

I like to talk to peo­ple that are aim­ing towards know­ing more, and success.So if you would like to talk my “youtube” chan­nel is: Fastdogg562

Peace Ryan

Bets says

I chose health for all the same rea­sons as oth­ers who chose it. How­ever, Renata’s post on energy is very intrigu­ing. If quan­tum physics is cor­rest and we could main­tain a bal­anced energy field, wouldn’t the rest all fol­low? Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this, Burt.

Tina says

I picked money right now because I am hor­ri­bly in debt and can­not seem to find a way out. This makes my self esteem awful, I feel­ing no self worth, and I relate poorly to my fam­ily and friends. While I con­tinue to try to keep my vibra­tion pos­i­tive, I rec­og­nize that it is a bat­tle and I I am not doing well.

nahid says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity. Inside my heart I feel this is why I am here on this world, to grow spir­i­tu­ally and to find the real self.

Greta says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the key to mas­ter­ing, hon­our­ing and enrich­ing all of the above and there­fore is the most impor­tant to me.

Vivian says

what is really most impor­tant to me is how I FEEL about my life and all those subjects!!!

Virginia says

Burt

They are all equally impor­tant. Spir­i­tu­ally, Joy, Health, relat­sion­ships, Money. Because in this world they are inter­con­nected. I know that if I am cen­tered and live in the moment they all seem to be in bal­ance and my life improves daily. The stres­sor in life are like feath­ers that drift away with the wind.

Josef Vohl says

Dear Burt.
I think if we have yoy in our life,than we do have oll the ele­ments to be happy.Passion,energy,money.relationships,health,spirituality.
Thanks for the Bet­ter and Better.

Mindy says

As for myself, I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity. Hav­ing a con­scious­ness that I can co-create my world is the icing on the cake. I seek to enjoy each morsel and share and share with oth­ers. The rest just falls into place.

John says

I picked rela­tion­ships because i have never been in one with a girl before and i want to know how to before my lon­ly­ness over­comes me.

sheila says

Even through I think finan­cial free­dom is impor­tant, it doesn’t work inter­nally. So I would say I seek joy for my heart, mind and soul. When I fully con­nect to joy in my heart, I will expe­ri­ence spir­tual freedom.

Mila says

I choose energy, because energy is every­thig. With­out energy there will be no exis­tence.
More energy=better rela­tion­ship
More energy=more money
More energy=better health etc

S.Nayar says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity cause its the up stream eg if the river upstream is puri­fied down stream will become clean thus if ones spirit is puri­fied mind and body fol­lows hence one can attain health, har­mony and prosperity.

Susan says

Rela­tion­ships are the most impor­tant because with­out them you wouldn’t be able to share all the other won­der­ful things listed, but then I think I will change my answer to Energy because with­out this there would be noth­ing to share. Think about it! I can change my answer can’t I?

Faron says

With­out joy there can be noth­ing else.

eileen says

i chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because we have to keep in tune with all our uni­verses, the here and now, the tom­morows, the past, instinct, intu­ition etc etc

Myra says

Hi Burt, I believe pas­sion is the most impor­tant thing b/c with­out pas­sion we are not being all that we can be. I would have chose serv­ing if it was a choice. When we serve we are giv­ing back. If you do what you love the money will fol­low. This has really hap­pened for me as I serve with pas­sion in my life. I take care of my clients and it all comes back to me in health, wealth and hap­pi­ness. It is a truly awe­some universe!!

I thank you for the ser­vice you are providing.

Elizabeth Winstead says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it cov­ers love, rela­tion­ships, energy, com­pas­sion, uncon­di­tional love,
humor, hap­pi­ness, joy, har­mony, abun­dance, shar­ing,
cre­ativ­ity, all gifts from our Creator.

Carole says

I chose JOY because hav­ing JOY even with­out a spe­cific rea­son attracts more JOYFUL expe­ri­ences into your life which cov­ers all the rest.

Terree says

With­out health you have absolutely not­ing but with health you have the oppor­tu­nity to get the best life has to offer in many ways as long as you use it wisely.

Thank you Burt for being our grounded yet uni­ver­sal guide.

Kim says

I chose that which I need the most. the rest I am sat­is­fied with or can obtain easier.

Nancy says

I chose Joy, as it encom­passes all of the ele­ments. To feel and be Joy ele­vates every aspect of the list and enhances every aspect of my life and allows me the abil­ity to share myself with oth­ers in a ful­fill­ing way.

Stacia says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because because with out God there is noth­ing and we have noth­ing. When we are one with God all things are pos­si­ble to them that believe. He said “Seek ye first the king­dom of God and his right­eous­ness and all these things will be added unto you”.

Aleksandr Bakman says

I pick Joy.
Every­thing is made of dif­fer­ent forms of energy, and it’s a JOY to be able to fill, to see, to have, to give, to under­stand all this.

marios says

Jane Carol says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity.…. With­out it I have noth­ing. It gives me the rea­son to live, learn and grow. I have enjoyed every­thing that I have learned from con­tact­ing you.

Thank you from the bot­tom of my Heart.….….….

Mare says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity because that, hope­fully, mod­er­ates how we react to all the rest. We have to be whole and bal­anced within our­selves first. We are not our bod­ies. We are our minds and hearts. Spir­i­tu­al­ity helps us cel­e­brate the good things that come our way and helps us deal with the sad­ness and dis­ap­point­ments we all expe­ri­ence in life. It helps us to see more clearly and to reeval­u­ate what is impor­tant and what isn’t in life.

marios says

Marina says

Hi Burt
I put spir­i­tu­al­ity, as with­out the con­nec­tion and belief in the nature of spirit, inspi­ra­tion for an abun­dant life is harder to find, I have learnt that when I sit quiet and med­i­tate and con­nect to my spir­i­tu­al­ity. I am inspired to take action on my health if it needs it, I am inspired to do cert­ian actions to increase my wealth, this con­nec­tion to spirit fills me with joy, I see beauty in all forms around me, my rela­tion­ships blos­som because I have more joy, and my energy lev­els are more bal­anced, dare I say that all this inspi­ra­tion gives me a pas­sion for life to enjoy all the won­ders and magic that hap­pens around me.

Marilyn says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity — to me it’s the key to every­thing! It’s being a bal­anced per­son with higher lev­els of Con­scious­ness and the abil­ity to access the Divine. The higher the level of Con­scious­ness and awareness,the neg­a­tive aspects of you drop away and you are then clear to move for­ward to man­i­fest the best in life by being in tune with the Divine.

Cecilia says

Hi Burt I choose health I am 62 years old, I ache all over. One thing I don’t lack is my spirituality.Every morn­ing when I wake up I pray for my health and my fam­ily and then think about money for my bills and my house. I am happy person.

Jim Cornish says

Tough choices! I ago­nized for some time before set­tle­ing on ‘health’. I am not diss­abled, but between heart prob­lems, chronic cough and dia­betes, I have for some time been unable to enjoy what most take for granted (includ­ing myself just a few years ago.)

Stay young! Jim C

Tim says

Hi Burt. Inter­est­ing ques­tion. For me, spir­i­tu­al­ity is on top. It encom­passes all the oth­ers. It con­tin­ues to grow if attended to and it always before ones eyes.
Have long appre­ci­ated your work!

Christine says

Hi Burt
The most impor­tant for me is health. Being healthy in mind and body gives me the abil­ity to achieve my poten­tial in life. After loos­ing myself and end­ing up with a cronic dis­ease it was a big turn­ing point in my life to ques­tion who I was and what was I doing here. The answers came only when I looked deep down and dis­cov­ered my inner truth through the help of books and spir­i­tual sites. I now have the energy, joy, hap­pi­ness, money and pas­sion to achieve a spir­i­tual exis­tence to help oth­ers to reach their full poten­tial. My favourite quote is “My how things have changed since I have changed”.
Bless­ings a hun­dred fold for your inspir­ing work.
Kind­est Regards
Christine

christy says

Joy.
Because I do not find any.
There is lit­tle joy in my life. I am always con­cerned about some­thing or another and often dis­tubed and agra­vated by world news.
If i had the choice to relive my life I would choose one full of JOY.

andrea says

Energy expressed is the energy received.

Susan says

With­out spir­i­tu­al­ity, rela­tion­ships, and health, money does not mat­ter. I’ve lived with­out money but I never want to live with­out those three things. We were not put here to just chase the pop­u­lar dream. We are to build a bet­ter world and expe­ri­ence the joy with oth­ers. We can’t do this with­out health and with­out being good to other people.

Olivette says

With joy in my heart at all times, no mat­ter what chal­lenges I face I will not be depressed about them and there­fore I will be able to work with the prob­lem with­out worry.

EffulgentGreenOrb says

Joy De Vivre’.
This enables all niceties of our Spir­i­tual beings to man­i­fest and coa­lesce congruously.Joy is Innately Spiritual.

Scot says

I picked Joy When you have joy in your life you atom­at­i­cally atr­ract and allow all the oth­ers things to come into it.You are at a higher vibration

Ivory says

I say money,because my health and spir­i­tu­al­ity is at its best.I believe I can receive, to get all of these things you must have pas­sion there­fore joy will come.

tove says

To be able to share what so ever, theire is a need to relate to some­one or some­thing. Even if I am happy or sad, as I begin to share with some­body I begin to feel joy and love. If we can’t relate to any­one we can’t share love.
We can feel it inside our­self, but as we share it..love mul­ti­plies and love becomes big­ger, greater more joy and more happyness.

Roy says

I chose spir­i­tual because with­out god we do not exist, we and all of cre­ation every thing that was or ever will be is an aspect of the one. There is only one all know­ing omnipresent and omnipo­tent mind. The rela­tion­ship is inti­mate, nei­ther God now we exist with­out the other.

Linda says

Rela­tion­ships are most impor­tant to me as my hus­band, chil­dren, par­ents, sib­lings and friends are what makes my life what it is and I would not enjoy life with­out them.

Mike says

This was a toss up for me between health and spirit. I believe you can obtain every­thing else if you have rea­son­able health and a strong spirit that is per­sis­tent, focused, and dri­ven to suc­ceed. I chose health, but now that I think about it, a bro­ken spirit is far worse than a bro­ken body.

Robb says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity — is the most impor­tant because if I am in-tune with my inner self and ful­fil­ing my lifes pur­pose all the rest will fall in place. FOLLOW YOUR HEART! Your heart will guide you in all the rest.

Allen says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, how­ever, by this term I mean “per­tain­ing to con­scious­ness”. With a fully devel­oped con­scious­ness, all else comes nat­u­rally. It is the key to achieve­ment in all aspects of life.

Denise says

I chose Joy because I could have every­thing else and if Joy is not present in my life I prob­a­bly will not enjoy any­thing. When I choose to be Joy­ful every­thing is won­der­ful in my world.

PK says

Hi Burt,

I feel I have every­thing as long as I can see beau­ti­ful
things all around. I can for­get all prob­lems when I’m in sur­rounded by beauty. Any­thing in unspoiled nature usu­ally
makes me smile and feel trans­ported to another world.
Baby’s smile or some inspir­ing paint­ing or piece of art or frol­ick­ing birds fills me more com­pletely than food ever can. It makes my heart sing of joy.

PremRaj says

In rela­tion­ships I am able to express the most impor­tant: love being the first step to uni­ver­sal love

Alba says

Hi Burt, well I think good health and spir­i­tu­al­ity for me. Very good ques­tion. Its really inter­est­ing to see what other peo­ple value most! King regards.

Lily says

Joy of course because then every­thing else comes with it. You see beauty where you look, rela­tion­ship becomes easy and flow­ing and so does money.
I become healthy, pas­sion­ate and full of energy when I live in joy so I do ben­e­fit the world and myself. That is also the ulti­mate form of spir­i­tu­al­ity for me.
I am wish­ing more joy for every­body. How won­der­ful to bathe in it, radi­ate it, attract more of it, expand in its ben­e­fi­cial energy. Joy to the world…

Norman says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity… the rela­tion­ship we share with all through inner being. All the other selec­tions depend on this one, and with a good sense of spir­i­tu­al­ity the best flows through all the oth­ers. It also tran­scends all the others.

linda says

I choose spir­tu­al­ity because we are all spir­i­tual beings Frist and formost.

john jacobson says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the root to all good things. I have been on this track for about 35 years now. And by allow­ing the spirit realm into my life I have been enriched hun­dreds of times over, but not as oth­ers would know.For very few peo­ple are con­nected to this realm, and it is us, the few that are that have awak­ened the masses from there self­ish ways of only think­ing of themslefs.For when you become spir­i­tual you will always think of oth­ers before your­self. And with that all things become bal­anced. And the reward for this great sac­ri­fise dur­ing life is you will be grat­nted the abil­ity to recre­ate later on in your spirit life.
I will give one exam­ple of what you can do when you are spir­i­tual. One time I am sit­ting in a park look­ing at, as many as 100 mal­lard ducks on this lit­tle Island that was just a stone’s through from me. And I in my mind com­mented to the female ducks why are your feath­ers not as pretty as the male’s feather’s. Well the response I got from that was beau­ti­full. All of the female duck’s flew up off of the Island and came to where I was sit­ting and each one rolled back their wing feather’s in such a way as too reveal these beau­ti­full light blue and white feath­ers that you would nor­mally never see.This is what, spir­i­tu­al­lity allows you to do. It is worth more than money to me.Unfortuality we live among those that do whor­ship money and they will never know that this can be done. And that makes it hard for all of us that do know.

gary says

all of the above

Elizabeth says

I chose joy because there are so many ways to achieve this, includ­ing many of the other choices on the list. If a rela­tion­ship founders, there may be joy in spir­i­tu­al­ity or beauty. If spir­i­tu­al­ity is beset with doubts, beauty or good friends may help to restore faith. The most impor­tant thing is to be able to appre­ci­ate what one does have, when some­thing else goes away.

karen says

burt– thanks for all your posts!!! wish i could view more of them.… we have ancient dial up so can’t get as much down­loaded as i wish i could!!!

i chose joy because i feel that all else comes from joy.… i.e health, wealth, etc. even spir­i­tu­al­ity—- if i am prac­tic­ing being spir­i­tual then i am in a state of joy!!!
thanks ever so for your thoughts!!!
karen

kay says

I choose pas­sion because pas­sion allows you to have all the energy you need to main­tain health, joy, rela­tion­ships, and if you are pas­sion­ate about your spir­i­tu­al­ity you will stay the course as is with any­thing you do with pas­sion. There­fore if you are pas­sion­ate with your choice of work you will do well at it and with that come great rewards, sat­is­fac­tion, fini­cal, most of all for me it is about doing some­thing I believe in, and mak­ing a dif­fer­ence, see­ing the pos­i­tive affect I am hav­ing on the peo­ple around me.

Linnette says

Hi Burt,

They are all impor­tant to me, but if I had to choose one it would be engery, if you have engery, you have the power to tap into every­thing else. Any way I hope in my case this is true, so I can live a life con­nected to all the other things on the list.

Sissy says

Hi Burt, I believe that with­out God & his love & bless­ings we would be noth­ing.
Also Im try­ing to get moved into an apt here that has a wait­ing list & i was begin­ning to get upset cause Im liv­ing in a 35 ft travel trailer & I have been pray­ing every­day that I would get that call. then all of a sud­den it hit me God wants me here for some rea­son & in HIS time line I will get moved but not till then. I belive that there is either some­thing here I havent got­ten done or there’s a rea­son he doesnt need to be over there yet. so I will keep pray­ing but I know in my heart when the time is right i will get the call that I have an apt ready for me. It is in his hands & when he is ready for me to move I will but not till then

Robyn says

I am 62 next month. I am always work­ing with that list. I chose money, because I feel I can do much more for oth­ers if I have an end­less sup­ply of money. With­out money I can only help a few. I see money as a tool to help me achieve all the won­der­ful things I now see that need attention.

mohammed says

when you have great health you have it ALL .(KINGS ALL OVER THE WORLD = PRESIDENTS OF THESE DAYS ARE KINGS OF THE KINGS = THEY HAVE EVERYTHING IN HAND ) when they have bad health , then they are gone with the wind

ARTEMIO says

“SPIRITUALITY” is my choice, Burt !
It is the high­est essence of life and it is eter­nal in nature. Every­thing else is tem­po­ral and tran­sient.
I am aim­ing at the great­est good and I am being chal­lenged in my spir­i­tual jour­ney towards per­fec­tion.
No mat­ter what this tem­po­ral life brings unto me
bad or good, my pri­mary aim and focus would be
a return of my spirit to eter­nal life with my Cre­ator
in his celes­tial king­dom, some­day at the end of my
mor­tal exis­tence !!! In the mean­time, you will find me
ever-loving my fel­low­men espe­cially the least of my brethren and wor­ship­ping my Creator !!!

james says

JOY this is the gate­way to every other issue for if you are joy­full then where ever you are sytu­a­tion or posi­tion you can enjoy get­ing or acom­plish­ing any goal.

Omi says

I would have cho­sen ‘love’ if it were an option, for “the great­est of these is love” (not nec­es­sar­ily encom­passed by just relationships).

So instead I choose joy which I can feel flow­ing through me when I am deeply con­nected with all that is (spir­i­tu­al­ity, energy, pas­sion, beauty, health, and abundance/money included). Only love will pre­vail. In my opin­ion, one can­not feel joy with­out love.

T says

HEALTH IS THE ANSWER–WITHOUT HEALTH–
YOU HAVE NO QUALITY OR HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE.

Katie says

I slelected Joy because with­out joy there is noth­ing else

josiah says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because a man that is spir­i­tual gain more under­stand­ing into the work­ings of the mind and that would lessen more of his prob­lems.
josy

Francis says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because if I were to reach the stage where I am always con­nected to source energy I would not want for any­thing in life as I will always have it. I will at all times be able to choose good thoughts and thoughts cre­ate your life.

What I need to know is how to always be con­nected to source energy. I know if you go accord­ing to your emo­tions you will know whether you are con­nected or not but if you are NOT con­nected how do you close the gap? Have good thoughts is the answer but I am sure there is still a bit of the puz­zle miss­ing and I am try­ing to find it.

Thanks for your good inten­tions Mr Monk!

Mark says

I voted for pas­sion, although if I voted again I would choose spir­i­tu­al­ity. Spir­i­tu­al­ity can help bal­ance your life so that you are con­tent and happy with life even when you are not doing the things you are pas­sion­ate about.

I chose pas­sion because pas­sion brings action. Doing what you are pas­sion­ate about brings joy. You will have the energy to do the things you love. When you are joy­ful you can appre­ci­ate beauty. If you appre­ci­ate beauty then you will become pas­sion­ate about life. If you are happy about life you will prob­a­bly be healthy. If you are happy with your life, peo­ple will be attracted to you.

Spir­i­tu­al­ity and pas­sion is a pow­er­ful com­bi­na­tion. Spir­i­tu­al­ity brings focus. With spir­i­tu­al­ity, life can change in an instant (for the bet­ter). Spir­i­tu­al­ity can help you get in touch with your feel­ings and iden­tify your pas­sions. Spirituality/faith/trust will bring courage to actively pur­sue your pas­sion. Spir­i­tu­al­ity and pas­sion will get you what you need.

Carole says

The num­ber one is Money, but of all of these, I have a life cir­cle that includes Finan­cial Free­dom, Rela­tion­ships, Health & Spir­i­tu­al­ity. Money hav­ing the biggest effect. It appears Money can give you peace of mind and help you with you pas­sion and help you be able to eat right for health, thus you have energy. Spir­i­tu­al­ity just comes nat­u­rally and there is no speat over it like there is finan­cial restric­tions. Of course all are important.

sue says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity first, but the sec­ond run­ner up was Health. I real­ize that in spirit I am immor­tal, so what­ever I acquire spir­i­tu­ally in this life I can take with me. Plus, liv­ing in a higher spir­i­tual plane seems to make this life so much eas­ier. It is my desire to increase the light within me, so that I can share that with oth­ers along the way also.

Claudette Lariviere says

Hi Burt, I think they’re all impor­tant but being over 70 and hav­ing some debt it would be great to be out of debt com­pletely. I bought your “Pros­per­ity” cds and am going over and over the sec­ond cd. I havne’t yet fig­ured out the “gen­der” part of it and until I get that alto­gether I’m not going to get any­where with it. I need more expla­na­tion, please. Thank you.

Hazel says

Hi Burt,

I choose “joy” although I am aware of the pre-requisite fac­tors to achieve it, but ulti­mately It is what I wanted most in my life.

James Henry Shelton says

I am only 21,yet I am more con­cerned about this rela­tion­ship work­ing out than all the worldly things.I just care so much about brie that I lay down my life.I just miss her deeply :*)

naheed says

I selected JOY because the real sense of hap­pi­ness comes from when you are in per­fect health,have good relationship,have finan­cial free­dom and you are con­nected to your higherself(spirituality)

Khrystine says

I want it all so … I chose Joy. Joy­full­ness is a pow­er­ful pos­i­tive emo­tion, and by law of attrac­tion, like attracts like. Because every­thing on that list were things that bring joy, to attract them, one must be joy­ful. Pas­sion, beauty, energy, money, fam­ily, rela­tion­ships, and spir­i­tu­al­ity are all sources of joy in a per­sons life. So by hav­ing joy in all you do, and all you are, all else will fall into place. Lack of pas­sion can cre­ate a feel­ing of being unful­filled (which is not a joy­ful place to be). Lack of beauty can lead to low self esteem (Again, not a joy­ful expres­sion of self). Lack of energy can lead to not doing the things in life that ful­fil us (no ful­fil­ment = no joy). Money, though not the source of joy, does allow for get­ting things or going to places that do cre­ate joy (so lack­ing money can block access to the things in life that can bring joy). Rela­tion­ships not based on joy should be avoided. Poor health causes fear and worry (not joy­ful). Spir­i­tu­al­ity IS your indi­vi­daul expres­sion of joy. So, why would a per­son chose only one thing on the list when joy is the answer that rep­re­sents “ALL OF THE ABOVE” (OK, so tech­ni­cally, since it wasn’t the bot­tom answer — it’s all the above and below, but you get what I mean!).

Nancy F. says

Good Day Burt! I am so happy to hear from you, i was on the Fin­er­Minds site today, see­ing your face there i won­dered what you have been up to!
The answer, for me is Spir­i­tu­al­ity, rea­sons for this; my fam­ily is sacred to me, i share lessons,practices, med­i­ta­tions etc. with them, then they prac­tice. They, and all oth­ers my Energy goes out to, start see­ing the beauty in life, they like myself have health, joy, more suc­cess in any area they want. I believe that ALL is Energy, spir­i­tu­ally is pos­i­tive energy. All energy radi­ates out­ward like rip­ples in a lake. If we put out that pos­i­tive spirit energy it radi­ates all over the world (and cos­mos), com­bin­ing with all other spir­its ener­gies there­fore cre­at­ing a huge wave that’s power washes away all old thoughts of lack and lim­its and poor health. Cre­at­ing a new par­a­digm, a shift in mindset.

matt says

I would have to say health. With out it you would not be able to enjoy any of the other choices. It would be quite dif­fi­cult to focus on those other choices if your health was suf­fer­ing. Yes you still could have joy, and spir­i­tu­al­ity, money and pas­sion, etc,etc but with out suf­fi­cient health what would be your qual­ity of life be? Yes you still could have piece of mind, but the other half of your rel­a­tive exis­tence (body) would need to be cared for. Like some of the oth­ers, I have been work­ing on many areas of my life and am quite ful­filled in those areas, but finances have always been a chal­lenge. Recently I have dis­cov­ered why and am tak­ing the nec­es­sary steps to achieve that type of suc­cess that I deserve.

James Henry Shelton says

I said rela­tion­ships because I really love this girl and I’d trade this world just to be with her and every­thing that I own I just care so dearly about her.I even gave her my Youtube.I’ve stud­ied alot of reli­gions and spiritualities,yet I am seek­ing to grow nearer to God,yet many claim to know things in which they start to think they know it all and only God does know it all.Burt you know so much and I agree with you,yet how can i get to Los Ange­les and start act­ing I bought both Quan­tum Leap and Mind Box.I didn’t like the Dig­i­tal ver­sion of Mind­Box so I am gonna refund it for i lost alot of the stuff that I was sup­posed to get sorry about that,yet even all the mate­r­ial pos­ses­sions mean very lit­tle to me yet she means so much more.I’d do any­thing for her.I songwrite,paint,poet,sing,art and so on,yet the list is too numer­ous to list i pray and med­i­tate as well,yet i try so hard to avoid pride because it ain’t wise to be too proud.I look into the Bible and the Koran and the Kab­balah and the Bud­dhist texts and so yet I am still not happy because I really need to be in LA and even though I have all these songs wrote down I deeply sad far beyond expression.I have been writ­ing her and send­ing her gifts for the past 3 years and I still am miss­ing her so deeply and I’d even go walk and see her it ain’t even about hav­ing a vehi­cle to get there I just need to talk to her and that is what I truly wish to get this year more than any amount of materials.

Cris says

It took me a few min­utes to think about the ques­tion and find my response.

Health, wealth and rela­tion­ships are all very impor­tant to me. Joy is some­thing I expe­ri­ence from the inside out, and it is vital to my over­all well­be­ing. Beauty is so abun­dant and read­ily avail­able that although I don’t take it for granted, I wouldn’t put it on a list of impor­tant things in my life because it is always present, always there for our enjoy­ment and reflection.

So, what goes on the top of my list of most impor­tant things in my life? The answer is spir­i­tu­al­ity. My con­nec­tion with, and inti­mate rela­tion­ship with God (or what­ever other name It/He/She may be called) is what gives mean­ing to my life. It is the essence of my life.

Spir­i­tu­al­ity gives me hope, it gives me joy and peace, and God is the Source from which every­thing I want and desire comes.

Helen says

Hey Burt: I am pas­sion­ately seek­ing PEACE of mind. When I have peace, all the other listed appear to fall into their proper prospec­tive. If one could block out all the self imposed drama of tring to get beauty, energy, money, rela­tion­ships, health, joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity, then peace would reign supreme. We would wake up and real­ize we already have all these things.

Pernell says

Burt, I started to lis­ten to you and the things you are say­ing and my rea­son was to get to know how to use the Law of Attrac­tion imme­di­ately. I am mostly inter­ested in “Money, Health and Energy. I am 62 years old with a young daugh­ter. I’d like to leave her some­thing when I go. I’d like to have a bet­ter liv­ing envi­ron­ment and the energy to enjoy it

Telemachus says

We are not phys­i­cal beings hav­ing a spir­i­tual expe­ri­ence but spir­i­tual beings hav­ing a phys­i­cal experience.

Terri says

Hi there Burt,
I chose joy because that is what I was drawn to when I looked at the choices. I have a com­fort­able amount of money(not rich, but I have what I need), pas­sion comes and goes and I am happy with the amount in my life. My rela­tion­ships are good and get­ting bet­ter as I grow spir­i­tu­ally, which I am doing at my own pace right now. I am improv­ing my health daily. I didn’t chose beauty because I have two young chil­dren who show me beauty all the time. I truly appre­ci­ate you Burt, I have a play account that I am hop­ing will enable me to pur­chase your Quan­tum Jump­ing pro­gram some time in the near future.

pauline says

rela­tion­ships — to oth­ers, to the self, to the world. all inter­con­nected. all dif­fer­ent yet one.

rela­tion­ships can be lov­ing, pas­sion­ate, based on beauty/money, healthy, joy­ful or spir­i­tual in nature.

and con­stantly new and alive.

Rodney says

Energy is essen­tioal for all and most of your being. Rela­tion, health, pas­sion, joy, hap­pi­ness, spir­i­tu­al­ity could not have it right if you do not have an ade­quate energy in you. Aura, Qi, chackra are expressed in energy. When you see peo­ple engag­ing in quarrel/arguing you are see­ing they are steal­ing energy from each other. Besides spirit is in a energy form as well.

Wain says

Rela­tion­ships are the most impor­tant. With­out them, we can­not expe­ri­ence life to the fullest. And all the other items on the list are worth less than chas­ing after the wind.

Olenka says

Hi, Dear Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because Silva Life Sys­tem
showed me how spir­i­tu­al­ity can donate health, cre­ativ­ity,
incred­i­ble energy, inspi­ra­tion and love

My dear Mom and Daugh­ter also repeat evry night “bet­ter and bet­ter”

Wish blos­som­ing to You and to Laura,
With deep grat­i­tude, Olga

KRISTINA says

I selected joy because if I am happy from inside.
If my spirit is happy I can man­age to do any­thing
and con­front with life choices and dificulties.

Kerry says

What a great topic! A few years back, I would have picked many before joy. I thought that joy came from out­side. How­ever, I have “almost learned” that JOY is the key to it all. When you vibrate with joy, noth­ing can be held from you. All my life folks have tried to “squish” my joy to their way of think­ing– for­tu­nately, it did not work. My life is now my own, and I am so blessed to be able to teach oth­ers how to change their lives, with joy at the cen­ter.
Help enough oth­ers to get what they want, and you will auto­mat­i­cally get what you want — FREEDOM!

christine says

Hi Burt,
I have to say I found it very dif­fi­cult to choose one above many of the oth­ers and as I only could select one, it had to be rela­tion­ships as it is the rela­tion­ships with peo­ple that bring me most hap­pi­ness. Very close run­ners up are spir­i­tu­al­ity, health and passion.

JJ Murphy says

When I think of “energy” I think of sun, wind, rain, — with­out the nat­ural world, none of the rest would exist. I care deeply about the well-being of the entire web of life.

Tom says

I chose energy,health.and spir­i­tu­al­ity, because with­out these three things you cant achieve any­thing else. I am striv­ing to keep my energy and health up, but spir­i­tu­al­ity I have a hard time understanding,let alone achieving

teresa says

I choose joy, because joy implies all the oth­ers to a higher or lesser extent. Joy is a fruit of the spirit…

I need all the oth­ers too of course.

Best

Leila says

It’s hard to define these words so they mean the same for every­one. But all the same I chose pas­sion. Maybe because I am real­iz­ing what you can do with it.

Ed says

I have a four way tie. With­out health, all else is irrel­e­vant. With­out money, you do not sur­vive in this realm. With­out rela­tion­ships, you have no one to share with. With­out spir­i­tu­al­ity, we have no belief sys­tem. I can­not pick one over the other and all hold equal value to me.

Rick says

Spirituality,Because God and his son are the best thing that has ever hap­pened in my life. I try to pray over every step of my life being big or small. I know my Lord will not lead me the wrong way. And you can have any­thing you want if you fol­low the Lord.
God Bless and Be Safe, Rick

RENATA says

This might seem like a tricky one but in all real­ity, it is quite sim­ple to choose.

Every­thing is a form of ENERGY.

Pick Energy, you pick them all.

There is no sep­a­ra­tion. It is all related. All united in energy.

The other thought is that JOY res­onates even higher than love on the scale of uni­ver­sal con­scious­ness. So JOY is a very high vibra­tion to be in to man­i­fest any­thing in your reality.

But once again, this all comes under the umbrella of ENERGY. Burt, I believe you know what I’m talk­ing about! LOL! Fun!

Love, pas­sion, beauty, health, joy, abun­dance to all!

Renata

Tarja says

I selected rela­ton­ships and I agree with Josie.
Brenda Poulsen say it very beautifully.

“By ‘all’ I mean all liv­ing crea­tures, as well as our trees and rocks and sun­rises and sun­sets and the rain and the snow and the beauty in in all.

And we have to have love for our­self. With­out love you have noth­ing. Doesn’t mat­ter about how much money you have or how much drive and pas­sion or how good your health is. As John Lennon said, “Love is all there is.””

Joann says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because God lives in the super­con­cious mind and when you access this part of the mind, your desires of the heart are full­filled. This is where we cre­ate our own life.

Joan says

I chose pas­sion because if you find your pas­sion, there
I will find my pur­pose, hap­pi­ness and money. If I find my
love, my peace is there with it. With peace there is no
dis-at-ease, there­fore no dis­ease. With pas­sion, I will
find love, health, hap­pi­ness and prosperity.

chandrika says

for me ‚for my sit­u­a­tion ‚my career is important.

Jim Cunningham says

Your health is your happiness.……its a dif­fi­cult one to answer. I believe it is a bal­anced approach to pro­duce a wealthy life. If you have the right pur­pose and pas­sion you will have the energy and stress free liv­ing to be happy.

Brigit Ananya says

I selected spir­i­tu­al­ity, because see­ing absolute Truth shows that com­plete hap­pi­ness and peace does not depend on cir­cum­stances or peo­ple. It is at our core within our heart. It shows that we can­not be described in words or thoughts, that we are not even sep­a­rate enti­ties, that we are one. I feel that the best way describ­ing who we are, the inde­scrib­able, is that we are the Source of Love.

Mel naingue says

HI Burt,

To me, I con­sider Health.HOw can we enjoy wealth if our health is fail­ing? How can we spent qual­ity time with our love ones if our health is affected? How can we live life to the fullest if our health (body) is deteriorating?

EZ says

I selected spir­i­tu­al­ity because I believe that is the only way to find out who I really am. All the other aspects like joy, health, rela­tion­ship, money, pas­sion, beauty and energy, are also a very impor­tant issues in every indi­vid­u­als life, but believe spir­i­tu­al­ity can con­tain all of this other aspects above at the same time.

bless­ing for u all.

Fred says

Because with­out Health, you can’t make progress in, or enjoy, the other 7 Areas of Life included in your survey.

john says

Bert,
Spir­i­tu­al­ity is what you are all about,Bert & what I am seeking.It con­trols all the other ares you have included. Health, wealth, relationships,joy, energy, pas­sion, all spring from your spir­i­tual being. Laura Silva, the Mas­ters, & your­self Bert, have been pro­mot­ing a mas­sive world-wide Spir­i­tual Awak­en­ing. I have been fol­low­ing all of the med­i­ta­tions, I can lay my hands on, since last Decem­ber. Finan­cially drained & unem­ployed, I am reach­ing out to every­one who will lend a hand.
Not afraid of hard work, hop­ing to join this Spir­i­tual Rev­o­lu­tion & con­tribut­ing in any way I can.
God Bless You & your good works.
John

ANDRE says

How cool, spirit is win­ning

I wouldn’t have guest that one.

It got my vote too; Rea­son: To find the fastest most per­me­ment way to end the separation.

The Mother Father Cre­ator of all things is our true source of being;
A link home we have lost in the belief of being sep­a­rated from all things.(Allowed as a free gift for this dimen­sion only).

That has caused the rift between our­selves from within ourselves.

It is what keeps our ego and our mind work­ing against our love.
I wish to get to the stage that I can find and remem­ber God in every­thing I do and see; includ­ing the unfor­tu­nate things. (except for going to a church and try­ing to seek God exter­nally etc which con­tin­ues the sep­a­ra­tion.
To love whats loved is easy to love whats usu­ally hated is real free­dom of spirit. To embrace all of it and remain unaf­fected in love what I want to be able to do.

Lillian says

I selected spir­i­tu­al­lity because it gives peace of mind which I find very impor­tant. It gives the calm inside so I’m able to enjoy my rela­tion­ships, my health, my money — you name it. After 15 mins. med­i­ta­tion I might even smile to my yel­ing teenage daugh­ter ), with­out peace of mind I find it harder to deal with life — both the good and the bad parts. Namaste

Cheryl says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity. Every­thing I have got­ten in my life has been due to what God gave me. He has been there so many times for me and my top pri­or­ity is to give back in some way that he would be proud of me. I am not wealthy, we live pay check to pay check and we try to give and help oth­ers as much as we can cause this is what makes us happy. My hus­band and I are happy but feel that we want more spir­i­tu­ally. We would like to be heal­ers, hear mes­sages from the angels or oth­er­side to help oth­ers. Does this make sense?

Lorice says

to me, spir­i­tu­al­ity is most impor­tant because if you have access to your spirit, every­thing else is avail­able to you. joy and pas­sion are high on my list and ful­fill­ment too.

Eva says

I chose rela­tion­ships because with­out con­nec­tion to oth­ers life is mean­ing­less. I can’t see myself except through the eyes of oth­ers, and I can’t appre­ci­ate oth­ers unless I know myself.

Chris says

This was a toss up between joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity.
I decided that when I am joy­ous I am con­nected
to the spir­i­tual because I am liv­ing in the moment
and lov­ing life when I am joyous.

Mel says

I chose rela­tion­ships. My rela­tion­ships (to Deity, friends, health, money, etc.) help me, not only cope with, but to flour­ish in both hard­ships (learn­ing modes) and on the peaks. While joy is my per­sonal goal, my rela­tion­ships carry me to the goal and therein I get to carry oth­ers with me as we share the vic­to­ries together. Thus my joy is made more intense.

M says

Energy. If you can cre­ate and have the energy that is equal to your desire, then it must be guar­an­teed that you will man­i­fest it!

M says

Energy. If you can cre­ate and have the energy that is equal to your desire, then it has to be guar­an­teed that you will man­i­fest it!

Michael L says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is our purpose

Gruber Elisabeth says

Hallo Bur­ton. I had to decide for myself between health and spir­i­tu­al­ity. But once you are on the spir­i­tual way it doesn’t let you drop of again. It’s so fas­ci­nat­ing. And you will meet peo­ple who think so and get books on this sub­ject, get an e-mail from you for instance etc. And even if you are not feel­ing so well, if you man­age not to waste too much time wor­ry­ing, you’ll over­come any ill­ness. Because if you con­cen­trate on your mind and try to live here and now, the body will fol­low soon. Love Elisabeth

Angelia says

I chose JOY. Because if you are happy all of the other impor­tant things in your life will fall into place. With JOY comes SPIRITUALITY, with that comes the ENERGY to encour­age exer­cise for HEALTH and PASSION to attract MONEY, which gives you a glow about you that attacts good RELATIONSHIPS which makes any­one feel BEAUTIFUL=)

Ryan M. Faught says

I chose *beauty* because with­out it, we couldn’t under­stand the mys­tery which sur­rounds us.…without beauty we would lack the courage to see things as they are.

Nanette Rose says

If we strongly believe in spir­i­tu­al­ity then every­thing else falls into place.

JD says

I selected rela­tion­ships. In order to have excel­lent rela­tion­ships with spouse, fam­ily, friends, neigh­bors, etc. You already have pas­sion. A pas­sion to keep those rela­tion­ships going strong. The peo­ple who have the best rela­tion­ships have the energy to keep those rela­tion­ships get­ting bet­ter. That energy brings health. Thru it all I always find beauty and joy in each per­son. I feel the spir­i­tu­al­ity encom­pass­ing all. And last, but not least, wnen­ever I need it money always seems to come to me.

Nick says

Hi Burt, I chose health and more in par­tic­u­lar, men­tal health. I was about to choose money, but then I real­ized that of what use is money when you don’t have the health to enjoy it.

I’ve been study­ing hyp­nother­apy, and the case stud­ies in the course show appalling instances of how peo­ple are chal­lenged and are unable to live nor­mally. Recently I did a case study on ago­ra­pho­bia and the guy suf­fer­ing from it could not get out of his house, even though he desired very much to do so. Another case study involved an abu­sive past, and the woman suf­fer­ing from it lived most of her life in hate. Where’s the hap­pi­ness in that?

Money is cer­tainly impor­tant if it helps to buy solu­tions – but if it can’t, money is not that use­ful. I am also baf­fled with the results. I expected money to be the high­est on the list, but I am guess­ing either val­ues are chang­ing, or sim­ply that most are hav­ing health/spiritual challenges.

Ruta says

I agree with Josie. Love is most impor­tant to me. I choose relationships.

Gloria says

Hi Burt.,

I need 3 things that would help my life right now…
I also need spir­i­tual because I love the Lord.
I chose money cause I’m des­per­ate…
I need health because of the pain in my hip is so bad.
I’m really tired of the way my life is…
OH, by the way I could never get daisy pond to down­load
right…
Big hugs…God bless you.…Gloria

charles says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because that is what is going to mat­ter the most when it is all over and Yah­weh return. If you have not accepted Yah­weh as your Lord and Sav­ior, you will not make it in.

Taylore says

I agree with Car­o­line, the first response, because, and I quote:
“I selected ‘health’, because with­out health you can’t have or enjoy the rest of the good things in life — pas­sion, beauty, energy, money, rela­tion­ships, joy or spirituality!”

Sid says

With­out health you are unable to enjoy life in any form!!

Jane says

I choose health because our bod­ies are the tem­ples in which we reside and with our tem­ples being fit (both men­tally and phys­i­cally) we can opti­mize our pas­sion, beauty, energy, money, rela­tion­ships, joy and spritu­al­ity and live our lives to the fullest. Life is pretty won­der­ful when all of the cat­e­gories work together and we have the poten­tial to real­ize what­ever we want out of our lives.

Shelley says

Hi Burt,

This is a great and some­what tricky ques­tion… it got me think­ing about which came first, the chicken or the egg! I finally chose rela­tion­ships because it seems that I am in a rela­tion­ship with all of these other choices as well as with other peo­ple, ani­mals, objects, and myself, which is how all other impor­tant fac­tors are gov­erned in my life. I agree with Josie, rela­tion­ship seemed to be the clos­est choice to love which was not a choice.

Maja says

I choosse joy, because I believe if I will enjoy I will radi­ate ‘good’, so good ‘things’ (health, money,energy,…) will come to me.

I would choose though, but that was not an option.

Shelley says

Hi Burt,

This is a great and some­what tricky ques­tion… it got me think­ing about which came first, the chicken or the egg!

I agree with Josie, rela­tion­ship seemed to be the clos­est choice to love which was not a choice.

Ty says

Knowl­edge of Truth was my first thought. Not on your list, so “spir­i­tu­al­ity” comes clos­est. I’ll stay with that which is most endur­ing as being most impor­tant.
A note to you Burt (oth­ers are wel­come to read it too):
The “non preacher” I was refer­ring to on my web site “www.jesusthisandmore.ws” was you.

Sandra says

Hey Burt

Well that was a tough one but I said health because if you don’t take care of your­self eat right and exer­cise than your energy goes down ‚self esteem lowers,your spir­i­tu­al­ity feels defeated and noth­ing really goes quite right.

Monica says

Although i would like to have it all but if i have to choose
i would choose joy.What is the use of good health and tons of money when you are not happy from inside.If you are happy every­thing in life feels nice.

Sheila says

When you are spir­i­tu­ally in sink with cre­ation you become the mas­ter­ful cre­ator you were born to be.

Phil says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity, as i feel the ful­fil­ment of all of the oth­ers stems from our our spir­i­tual vibra­tion and under­stand­ing thereof.
All of the oth­ers though are, depend­ing on your rela­tional stand­point, just as important.

Duane Ford says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is (should be) the #1 choice. By being spir­i­tu­ally con­nected, all the other choices can and will be enhanced.

Duane

Henrik says

You are a great adven­tur­ous Spirit!Perhaps a lit­tle floopy floopy.But inspiring.Think You really love the dough and the stu­pid americans.Dont You?Henrik

Elsie says

I totally agree with Shuchi; — the aware­ness of who you really are can bet­ter all the other areas.

Jennifer says

At the moment energy because dur­ing the gulf war I lost my house last year just got back finan­cially at moment going through same sit­u­a­tion. I thought I had man­aged to con­quer fear and believed in a per­son the work part­ner of my hus­band, that per­son has turned out to have a men­tal ill­ness and will not pay my hus­band my daugh­ter had got a loan for me and my best friend had invested in the firm. I feel com­pletely empty I feel moraly depleted that through me I have hurt my daugh­ter and my best friend, and havn’t the energy to react.

Henrik says

Vik­tor Frankl who man­aged to sur­vive as a KZ-prisoner meant that spir­i­tu­al­ity in a broad sense is most important.Cause what do you live on when there is no money,no health etc?Answer:You live by Your con­nec­tion to Divinity.When the US is nuked down to ruins and Noth­ing peo­ple will dis­cover that.Henrik

Chris says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity because it is through it we can really know who we truly are. By know­ing who we truly are, we are able to see the trasiency of the other options listed. When we know who we are in essence, all the other things are taken care of. They won’t be as impor­tant as we make them to be.

Svetlana says

Health is the most impor­tant!
When I am healthy I can find a job and make money. When I am healthy peo­ple will give me a job. When I am healthy every­one wants me, I can have friends, I can go for a walk, I can travel, I can help peo­ple.…
Money we need to sur­vive, to buy food and to have a roof over our head. If money was impor­tant rich peo­ple would live forewer. They would not get sick or grow old.
When peo­ple sud­denly get big money every­one comes out to be their friend but when the money is gone friends dis­a­pear too.

Linda Yap says

From Him we came, to Him we return.

PAUL says

HI BURT, I CHOSE MONEY BECAUSE I LOST A JOB LAST JAN 14TH AND HAVE EXHAUSTED MY SAVINGS ON BILLS.TOMORROW I PLAN TO SEEK CHARITY ORGS THAT MIGHT HELP WITH MY 1& 1/2 MONTHS UTILITY BILL OF 550 DOLLARS. I AM AMONG THE TOP 5% OF ACADEMICS IN THE USA. IN THE USA IF YOU HAVE MONEY YOU HAVE IT ALL. I AM CLOSE TO 48 HOURS TO NEW MOON. BURT YOU ARE MY GURU. THANKS FOR WISDOM—-PAUL

Lars says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity and had liked to com­bine it with pas­sion because with theese two I think I can achieve every­thing I desire.

russ says

Joy, because it makes up for every­thing else and can be found despite lack of every­thing else.

Reiki Rob says

uni­ver­sal joy regard­less of the sit­u­a­tion trans­lates as uncon­di­tional love for everything.

my philosi­phy in a nutshell,

hope that helps,

–RR–

Reiki Rob says

Joy, no question.

Life is infi­nite, though not in this form. Regard­less of spir­i­tu­al­ity, money, pas­sion, energy, health, beauty and rela­tion­ships, joy is an end in itself.

The other qual­i­ties are fuels on the road to joy. We use the abil­ity to infuence peo­ple and the world to find our inner joy. Though all these qual­i­ties beget eachother, joy is what makes it all worth every moment.

spir­i­tu­al­ity leads to joy, pas­sion often leads to spir­i­tu­al­ity, money cre­ates free­dom from work and leads to pas­sion, energy is needed to fuel the fire of pas­sion, health is needed to main­tain energy and beauty and rela­tion­ships are so sub­jec­tive and mul­ti­fac­eted that just about every­one has some type…

Joy let’s one enjoy the jour­ney. While still mov­ing foward, they real­ize the present moment, is itself, the des­ti­na­tion to joy, –RR–

joe says

i said rela­tion­ship because i ve just slit up and can t work out why,im left in a strange place with noth­ing left

Jose says

I have had some com­pli­ca­tions with my health not so big but uncomferting…If I have my health back to its proper and nor­mal state I would be so much hap­pier and be able to do things again. I have had sev­eral tests and not one Doc can under­stand why. I’ve started Kudalini yoga and now tasp­ping into Chi. Which is help­ing me a lot. Still not 100% .…Im also doing med­i­ta­tion.
Thanks, Jose

Ronald says

Greet­ings Burt, I chose money because it encom­passes so many of the other cat­e­gories. Money is free­dom to me, allow­ing so many other things to show up in my life in ways I per­haps had not con­sid­ered. Spir­i­tu­ally speak­ing, money is energy and one can have an ener­getic rela­tion­ship with both; it can pro­duce secu­rity in a finan­cial sense which may aid per­sonal rela­tion­ships and it can help reduce stress which is a health ben­e­fit. I have,value and enjoy all of your cat­e­gories. Finally, I have not had money and I have had it. My life is way bet­ter with it.

Martin says

if you have enough energy and you over­come lazy­ness then you can suc­ceed in any­thing you have a strong enough pasion for weather its love, money, good health etc.
and if you suc­ceed you will be joy­full but you will start want­ing more and then if you run out of energy you will end up being sad until you have energy again (just my the­ory feel free to change my point of view to a higher one ^^) if we take from the point of view of the peo­ple that believe in chakras then you have to build a strong root first before you go on witch make you very hard to push over and also dump neg­a­tive energy or get energy ^^ well thats what i seem to remem­ber ^^

Josie says

I actu­ally thought LOVE but this was’nt on the list so i chose relationships.

If you have Love every­thing else will follow.

Rodica says

Hello Sir,

I chose Joy as it is the clos­est to what I would have really wanted to answer, which is peace of mind.
When you have peace of mind you can live in a cave and be happy.
When you finally attained your inner peace, you are and have every­thing you wanted to be and have; you are com­plete, you love and you are loved, you made peace with your­self and with God and the world, you are happy with all the depart­ments of your life you have listed above. So, in a nut­shell all those things are impor­tant just to a cer­tain degree.
Money, beauty, spir­i­tu­al­ity are not the final goal. The ulti­mate goal is to be happy and in peace with your­self. You can live a mod­est life but if you are sur­rounded by a lov­ing fam­ily and friends, you are happy, you feel life is worth liv­ing. Your loved ones will never judge you based on your wealth or your beauty or knowl­edge; they will love you no mat­ter what! My sister’s lit­tle boy is five and he calls my mom, his grandma, ‘a lit­tle beau­ti­ful girl’. My mom is 75 and she is indeed a beau­ti­ful lady, a very nice grand­mother. My nephew things she is a lit­tle girl, he doesn’t see her wrin­kles, her twisted fin­gers, due to her arthri­tis con­di­tion. My mother is not rich but she is the hap­pi­est grandma in the world when she spends time with her grandson.

Thank you for ask­ing my opinion

Rod­ica

Evi says

Joy! What else? Every­thing… But what’s worth it, with­out joy?

Randy says

Joy is all of the above…peace of mind

Jane Myers says

I choose health. If there is per­fect health, we can tune into all other areas and cre­ate a har­mo­nious life.

P. E. says

Energy is part of how I have all the rest. By going within to my own energy and by tun­ing in to the energy of all around me I am aware­ness of my one­ness with Divin­ity, with oth­ers, and with the uni­verse. By being aware of the ener­gies I can lis­ten to guid­ance, feel the Divine all around, expe­ri­ence what oth­ers may be expe­ri­enc­ing. In my phys­i­cal body energy gives me the abil­ity to act on what I need and want. For me the world/universe is energy and so my aware­ness of it enriches my life in so many ways…not negat­ing the impor­tance of the other areas but rather being the foun­da­tion which allows me to expe­ri­ence more deeply the other areas.

Rosa Chavez says

I love the scrip­ture that says, “If we belong to Christ, we are Abraham’s seed, and heirs accord­ing to the promise.” That means we can all expe­ri­ence the bless­ings of Abra­ham. If you study Abraham’s record, you’ll dis­cover that he was pros­per­ous, healthy, and lived a long, pro­duc­tive life. He didn’t always make the best choice, he enjoyed God’s bless­ings. You should go out each day expect­ing good things, antic­i­pat­ing God’s blessings.Keep press­ing forward.

Thanks,
Burt, that was an uplift­ing question.

Ragnheidur says

Hello

I chose the spirit because every­thing starts within our spirit
within us we chose what and how we want to have things.

Christa van der Merwe says

Hi Burt I choose money, with money you can flow over because you can per­sue the things in life that you really want and not have to worry about mak­ing your montly pay­ments. With me Im 36 years old, not mar­ried and have no chil­dren and begin­ing to worry what will hap­pen with me when I am old and I do not have enough money, I am using the mind box every­day but Im just not being able to get somewhere.

Tony B.Tokutake says

Real­iza­tion of “Truth” is The Source for All:
The Con­cious­ness of True Real­ity and basis for all man­i­fested world.

hilly says

Money is my choise. Althought all other options can I add.
I want to help my chil­dren and friends to have no more debts and I want time to be at home with my grand­child. So I would like to stop work­ing day en night in a job that doesn’t make me happy.

Harold says

I have been so focused on improv­ing my health, seek­ing spirituality,finding my solu­tion to my per­sonal finan­cial crisies, and explor­ing every­thing I can find in self improve­ment, includ­ing Silva Method, Remote View­ing and Influ­enc­ing, and Quan­tum Jump­ing. Instead of find­ing focus, I find myself spread too thin; not mas­ter­ing any of them though open­ing myself up to the poten­tial. I have found time to do these things since my wife passed in 2006, but I have found myself short on time to build friend­ships or mean­ing­ful rela­tion­ships. I am swamped by infor­ma­tion over­load and suf­fer­ing from affec­tion depri­va­tion, but I am get­ting bet­ter every day;^)

Kris says

I chose “spir­i­tu­al­ity” because I think the pur­pose of life is to dis­cover who we really are. Every­thing else is rel­a­tive to what is hap­pen­ing at the moment. If we’re sick, our health is the most impor­tant thing. If we’re out of work, money is most impor­tant. If we’re lonely or our spouse is leav­ing us, rela­tion­ships are most important…

Bogdan says

I have no job, no unem­ploy­ment, no money and no girl­friend any more. My car is old and my ex girl­friend messe3d me up with my pre­vi­ous job and the much bet­ter car I used to have — its a long story and I don’t hate her or any­thing, but I am very dis­ap­pointed with her. If I had money, I wouldn’t have to worry about jobs or women. I could just spend my time read­ing and writ­ing movie scrip0ts and even­tu­ally get­ting one of my scripts made into a movie. As for women.., a suc­cess­ful writer with money can always get women so I wouldn’t worry about that. Health??? I know how to make my own herbal extracts and how to heal using herbs and a few other modal­i­ties. Money.., that’s what I need.., M O N E Y, lol. MONEY. Then I could travel, learn, write and learn some more. Money!!!!!

George says

With­out a good health, some­thing would be fail­ing on the other items men­tioned in the list.

paul says

Well, I know that Spir­i­tu­al­ity is most impor­tant for a num­ber of obvi­ous rea­sons, At present how­ever, I think about money much of the time. If I say Spir­i­tu­al­ity, I feel a bit dis­hon­est, and if I say money, I feel a bit sad about my choice. In my case, I feel that since I am not enlight­ened, the hon­est answer is that there is still in me a con­flict ( suf­fer­ing ) between spritu­al­ity and money. So, I sim­ply need to move more toward spir­i­tu­aliy in a way that will allow cer­tainty in my real­iza­tion of that choice and that will also allow me to feel com­pletely hon­est in say­ing dur­ing that ” now ” that spir­i­tu­aliy IS my choice. To know that spir­i­tu­al­ity IS the most impor­tant choice, but NOT to feel that way is, I think, the com­mon prob­lem that many of us have. Hon­esty is required and while it is some­time painful, it is alway the cat­a­lyst of true change and progress.

Celestin says

I believe deep down when a man is bal­anced spir­i­tu­ally, That har­mony of mind and soul, impacts in his mate­r­ial life, in such a way that he lives more hap­pilly because all what he needs for a liv­ing is giv­ing to him like some­thing Extra. Sim­ply because he is the foun­tain, the true foun­tain is whithin.Spirituality is liv­ing from whithin.
Liv­ing in “God” Or “The One Force of the Uni­verse” is Liv­ing in the ever­last­ing abun­dance of life.
(Attument is the key and that is what is lack­ing today)

Angela J. says

I chose joy, because with­out it the spirit dies, health decreases and rela­tion­ships fail mis­er­ably. Beauty is obscured by despair and we have no more pas­sion and energy left to make the money back that we wasted on doc­tors and psy­chi­a­trists to make us happy to start with. Money can’t buy hap­pi­ness, but joy can fill your life with pur­pose and mean­ing. With joy we have all the power we need to cre­ate the lives we were truly meant to live.

Eunice says

Hi, Burt!
I chose Joy. With Joy, I have expe­ri­enced or received every­thing else… Pas­sion with the one I love, Every­thing is Beau­ti­ful to me, I have loads of Energy, Money comes my way when I need it, as it is not my dri­ving force in my life any­more, my Rela­tion­ships are more spe­cial, mean­ing­ful and ful­filled, my Health and those around me improve, I share my Joy with oth­ers since I have so much for myself, my Spir­i­tu­al­ity blos­soms and grows.

I can at least say, I had them all… until I lost my love late last year due to an acci­dent. I know he’s there for me when I need him to be. I am find­ing Joy in all things again. I don’t have much choice, it’s who or what I am.

Olle says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it is my belief that we are all spir­i­tual beings hav­ing a human expe­ri­ence. There­fore, under­stand­ing the spir­i­tual aspect of our­selves, leads to a greater under­stand­ing of our men­tal and phys­i­cal human)aspects„ which encom­pass all of the other cat­e­gories, as well.

Peg says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity because that to me means know­ing that God is in control…of every­thing. He is the Alpha and the Omega and the giver of all good things. He gave us His only son who taught us to love and laugh and live with pas­sion, he gave (and still gives) us joy and health and wealth, and friends and fam­ily to share our lives and gifts and all that is on your list! God gave us every­thing we need and want, and the free will to choose what we think is right, or what we need (or was that what we WANT?), and with Him, NOTHING is impossible.

Susan d'Ambrumenil says

I believe that Joy is the key to every­thing. If one lives in Joy, life takes on a totally dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive. The issues and needs we have, all seem to take care of themselves.

When we live in Joy, our pas­sion is at its height; we see beauty in every­thing and every­one; we have the energy to work at our pas­sion and our rela­tion­ships; our health is in bal­ance with Life; we have the finan­cial free­dom and are sup­ported by the Uni­verse to do, be and have what is needed to share with oth­ers thus our spir­i­tual soul glows in the Light and adds to our Joy.

Faisal says

I think the most impor­tant thing that i am seek­ing in my life is the spirituality.as we all now know that quan­tum physics proves that every­thing is a cre­ation of energy and solid mat­ter is mare illusion,so why should we fall for illusion,and to get to “real“the spir­i­tu­al­ity is the only way to get there.
if one can think that he/she may go “there“by wealth or health or by any other means,i appol­o­gise he/she may be wrong.beacuse with all the wealth n health n rela­tion­ships you’ll still in your ego­cen­tric mind and with this mind may be you can achieve more wealth n all other illu­sions but again you’ll be in more deeper in illu­sion of reality.

M says

The main rea­son is that money will sup­ply the means for access to every­thing else.
With $
( I ) would have the time to acquire spir­i­tu­al­ity
( I ) wuold have the time to keep my health
( I ) ” ” ” ” ” have energy in my life

AS FOR the rest of them I already have enough.
because what the peo­ple around me and what I see and feel is what maters.

If peo­ple have money then they CAN (SHOULD) be able to make time for every­thing else.

And it is what a per­son believes in in his own uni­verse ( him­self ) not what oth­ers believe about him.

Bridget says

I have cho­sen energy — although I really would have cho­sen self accep­tance. Once we accept our­selves (and oth­ers) we can live in the energy of love, which to me is our heritage.

Rose says

I choose energy because ulti­mately every­thing is a par­tic­u­lar vibra­tion of energy. With­out energy there would be noth­ing else, which includes every­thing on this list. In my expe­ri­ence, the more energy I have the eas­ier it is for me to draw health, money, won­der­ful rela­tion­ships, beauty, pas­sion, joy, and the desire to know myself on a spir­i­tual level. I have also found that this is a whole lot eas­ier said than done on a con­sis­tent basis!! This is why I am so grate­ful to you, Burt, for your won­der­ful teach­ing and your invalu­able tech­niques to help keep me on track. I feel I have a real chance now to expe­ri­ence greater things than ever before!

Daine says

I choose Spir­i­tu­al­ity, first because WE ARE ALL SPIRIT; sec­ondly, because if I/We make that the most impor­tant and become sen­sative through intu­itive­ness, ALL else comes with the pack­age. It IS a PRINCIPLE of Creative/Infinate BEING!

Rosa Chavez says

Health, to me is the most impor­tant in my life. If I don’t have my health then I can’t enjoy money and rela­tion­ship. I won’t have enough energy to relax, so I can enjoy the beauty in me and the things that sur­round me and also, take the time to feel the joy spir­i­tu­al­ity. Because if I have all of the above, then I can appre­ci­ate life. I love to give com­pli­ments to peo­ple. I always try to be friendly. I like to make every­one around me feel impor­tant and special.

Mary says

I selected “money” as it is the only “tool” on the list that can be used to per­mit pur­suit of the other eso­teric or prac­ti­cal areas.

jun santiago says

Lately I have been sickie and I just real­ized that there is noth­ing more impor­tant in ones life than our health and spirit. My kid­ney is fail­ing Burt and maybe you can help me through your psy­chic heal­ing. I just bought your Quan­tum Jump­ing course a few days ago plus your Spring of Well­ness and I am very opti­mistic about the future. Pls get back to me Burt for I need your psy­chic heal­ing magic.
Thanks. Jun

Tom Gilbert says

No man is an island…

Mandy says

I chose rela­tion­ships, sim­ply beca­sue I get so much joy from my friends and fam­ily. I know the true value of frien­ship and love every minute I spend with oth­ers. It was a toss-up between Rela­tion­ships and Spir­i­tu­al­ity though, but my Rela­tion­ships are very impor­tant to me.
Thankyou Burt for every­thing you have given me, I love your wis­dom! Mandy NZ

Theresa says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity was my most impor­tant, God first, and then my fam­ily who I feel I was selected for. To bad for them they could’ve did bet­ter.… (smile). Really just pick­ing on myself not seri­ous. I just some­times feel that I have so much more to do and give. Wasted alot of years. On a hap­pier note I feel like I’m closer to obtain­ing that reality

Monique says

I chose pas­sion, because all of them are impor­tant in my eyes, but none of them is com­plete with­out pas­sion in your life.
But that is only my opin­ion. It’s nice to read all the other reviews.
Have a nice day!

linda says

I chose Spir­i­tual, because I live and breathe and have my being in the Divine. There is noth­ing out­side of It. It is Joy and Pefect Health and Whole­ness. It is the Source of all that is.

Christine says

Because with­out rela­tion­ships your pretty much alone.
Christine

Lorraine says

I chose health because with­out good health it is very hard to work towards the other impor­tant things in life that you wish to have.

Souheil says

I chose Health with­out which one can­not enjoy life.

Taiwo Ajai says

Dear Burt

My spir­i­tu­al­ity is more impor­tant to me because increas­ing knowl­edge of my inte­rior pow­ers, align me with the Uni­verse bring­ing me into har­mony with the innu­mer­able invis­i­ble forces out there help­ing and strength­en­ing me. Spir­i­tu­al­ity — (the Open Sesame of Life, and the ver­i­ta­ble ‘Mas­ter Key’) gives me all the abun­dance I am promised. Whether it be joy, health, wealth,happiness, rela­tion­ship, pas­sion, and peace of mind — suc­cess on all lev­els, are all mine. I am res­olute in my con­vic­tion that my pri­or­ity is my spir­i­tu­al­ity — because, for me, from there flows, every­thing… EVERYTHING.

To but­tress this point, at the end of your joint inter­view with Ger­ald O’Donnell, the Remote View­ing fel­low, together you and I healed my inflamed ten­nis elbow! Thank you!!

Peace and Love.

Taiwo

Gwyneth says

I tried to tick them all! but Health is clearly the most impor­tant. Good health is so won­der­ful, such free­dom,
enabling us to develop all the other attrib­utes, and help oth­ers, less for­tu­nate, along the way.

Good Health to you Burt and thank you for shar­ing the knowl­edge you have gained from your discoveries.

Alessandra says

I feel health and energy for myself and my loved ones are very impor­tant, after all what could we do with­out them?
Money is impor­tant as it is a tool or a form of energy for liv­ing in this real­ity.
Spir­i­tu­al­ity is very impor­tant to me because I do a lot of heal­ing work and I am aware that we really are spirit in human clothes. But all the other areas are also impor­tant as they seem to inter­twine if they are rea­son­ably bal­anced. I would like to thank you for your great work and for shar­ing so much with us.

Karin says

Hello Burt — Well it was a rather hard choice for me to
make, but I choose Pas­sion, because it’s a Great dri­ving
force, and if I feel pas­sion­ate about Every­thing I do
I will achieve it.

Health is very impor­tant too.

Have a great day.

marian says

With Joy and hap­pi­ness all the other impor­tant things will follow.

EV says

I chose “HEALTH” !
Health is a very impor­tant word, if we choose to use it in the right con­text ! Such as :
I AM phys­i­cally healthy !
I AM spir­i­tu­ally healthy !
I AM emo­tion­ally healthy !
I AM men­tally healthy !
I AM finan­cially healthy !
I AM think­ing lov­ing healthy thoughts !
SO — “if” I AM all of the above than
I AM TRULY ALL OF THE ABOVE !!!!
I love all of YOU : > )))

Julie Bennet says

Joy — wha­telse does any­one need in life — it encom­passes every­thing else.

Lissa says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, because my rela­tion­ship to the divine facil­i­tates all the rest.….

KellyPEB says

Inwardly I favor spir­i­tu­al­ity & health over every­thing else.
But at 51 and with 3 kids (age 9–14) and a won­der­ful wife I wish I had more $$$$ that I can push the bound­ary of enjoy­ment together with them and yet still have some spare for my sav­ings.
I med­i­tate 20 mins 4–5 times a week.

Cheryl says

For me the bot­tom line is spir­i­tu­al­ity for with this I know I can endure any and all losses, money, health, energy, beauty,etc. With­out that spir­i­tual con­nec­tion the stress of cop­ing with lack in one of these areas leads to poor deci­sions, depres­sion even despair. With that spir­i­tual con­nec­tion I know that any obsta­cle can be more than just endured but over­come. With spir­i­tu­al­ity I can mud­dle through the why of things and hope­fully find the les­son therein. Finally with spir­i­tu­al­ity I can deepen com­pas­sion for,and under­stand­ing of, the fel­low trav­el­ers on this journey.

David says

I have had var­i­ous degrees of expe­ri­ence with all the cat­e­gories listed. My spir­i­tual expe­ri­ences have been the most gratifying.

Carla says

I was tied between joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity. It has been my expe­ri­ence that these are the foun­da­tion of life. They enable us to move through expe­ri­ences of all sorts and observe and inspire and enhance our aware­ness.
Blessings~

Thomas says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it feels more ful­fill­ing to me per­son­ally. Also, I enjoy help­ing oth­ers with what I’m learn­ing how to do. Addi­tion­ally, I had a bout of focus­ing too much on the mate­r­ial and other things I really wanted and almost drove myself mad over it all. It’s not worth the price of one’s sanity.

Miranda says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is defi­nately the most impor­tant thing in my life. Energy always comes before mat­ter. I believe that we are here on this planet to be of ser­vice for our source and to allow his/her divine love to flow through us. To me Earth is a spir­i­tual school so it absolutely has to come first.

Shelley says

I think they’re all impor­tant, but there was only one choice allowed, so health is what I chose because it’s my foun­da­tion for doing every­thing else. Why are they all impor­tant? Because for exam­ple… how can one decide which is more impor­tant, the brain or the heart or the lungs? You can’t really live with­out any one of them, so they’re all impor­tant. At any given time, they may need to be rebal­anced, so one may need more atten­tion to than another for a while. Thanks for giv­ing us a thought­ful ques­tion. I love your work and how you share your wisdom!

marjee says

i chose spirituality.….you’ll get all of those with spir­i­tual thingy…spirituality you a sense of pur­pose tak­ing full respon­si­bil­ity what­ever your cir­cum­stances is, guides you to a feel­ing of con­nec­tion with God.…and hav­ing it has a process.…thanks burt for being one of spir­i­tual marketer.….

Martin says

To make some­one choose is a headache unto its self. As long as I feel good on the inside it really doesn’t mat­ter what goes on out­side. If I wake up in the morn­ing I’m one step ahead.

Norm says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because, for me, the con­nec­tion with the vital­ity of Spirit is the key to mean­ing in life.

Judy says

I chose health, because wihout good health, we are unable to enjoy so many things in life.

Sandra Lane says

Hi Burt
I cer­tainly go for spir­i­tu­al­ity any time, what’s my rea­son?
its sim­ply because with­out the pres­ence of a cre­ator in what­ever form or shape we con­ceive it to be there would not be a me or a you. There­fore it is impor­tant to find your roots your god­head the divine in you to make things man­i­fest and hap­pen as you would.

Robert says

Burt,
i selected “Rela­tion­ship” where most of my age (59) would select (I assume.. am I wrong?)Health or money. I just do not remem­ber to think about health assum­ing (some­times falsely)it is there where it should be, my body is tak­ing care of it with­out me being involved in it. But rela­tion ship spe­cially with my wife is a very impor­tant part of a daily think­ing patterns.

Patricia Gerdes says

God is the one true con­stant in this rocky world. Stay­ing close to Jesus Christ is my Joy and Peace and all abid­ing Love.

Andriu says

Ok… I see, Truth and Peace prob­a­bly are not “areas” of life, and I admit that it’s dif­fi­cult to divide life in areas

Kathy Elder says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is of utmost sig­nif­i­cance to me. From age 8 onward, I have always sensed we are spir­i­tual beings first and fore­most. Spir­i­tu­al­ity, it is my express opin­ion, encom­passes all else: joy, rela­tion­ship suc­cess, pas­sion in liv­ing, all of which are like­wise those fac­tors respon­si­ble for giv­ing me the desire to live daily to the full. As a Healer 21 years and an author on angels, mir­a­cles and human behav­ior, what I have found is absolutely para­mount is that we have some­thing larger than ourselves—much larger—to live for. In my case, I am what one would well define as a “pro­fes­sional vol­un­teer,” who thrives on giv­ing back to some­thing or some­one, in what­ever way my cir­cum­stances allow at the time. For years, I have authored an online not for profit well­ness resource cen­ter, mostly because I want the read­ing audi­ence to rec­og­nize on the one hand, we are our own lit­tle guru, yet on the other hand, where nec­es­sary, we always have one another, our com­mu­nity at large, as a way in which to tap into some­thing big­ger than our “lit­tle guru.” I value all the teach­ings of Burt, as I am now study­ing both the mind­box advanced set and the quan­tum jump­ing courses. Hav­ing given my own work­shops for over 20 years, I am always open to expand­ing my mind, my heart, my soul, and that is what these courses offer. Burt’s value sys­tem is in align­ment with mine, which is very impor­tant to me. So it goes, my inten­tion is to daily main­tain on these courses, even if, tak­ing only one cd class at a time, in order to lit­er­ally (pun intended) stay the course. Long may you live Burt. SO you can con­tinue to do what you clearly do best…to love.

wayne says

Health is far more impor­tant than ALL the other options, for with health you are able to achieve your potential…without it life becomes a strug­gle as your mind is con­stantly stuck with the feel­ing of ill-health. So health is the mas­ter of most things.

Andriu says

Dear Burt,
going through the list three times I real­ized that I was look­ing for Truth and Peace, and I could not vote.
But I will choose any­thing now because I want to see more… Namaste

John Hodges says

I had recently cho­sen health, but after med­i­tat­ing on the con­di­tion that the world is in and I am in is in direct cor­re­la­tion of how I think. If you are spir­i­tu­ally sound then every­thing else will work out for your high­est good. “As a man thin­keth in his heart, so is he”.

paola says

Deep in my heart I would choose health first of all, but all the things in the list are impor­tant. I selected money because unfor­tu­nately my hus­band spends more money that he earns and there­fore this time in my life con­cern about money is always haunt­ing me.

william D Pech says

Hi Burt” I chose health money and spir­i­tu­al­ity. I prob­a­bly should have said self restraint as my com­pul­sive car buy­ing has cost me 52K, which is an unnec­es­sary expen­di­ture. Still I have always had to learn the hard way.

Berrybonita says

Being truly happy and grate­ful for all that one has cur­rently in his/her life, whether it is con­sid­ered a lot or a lit­tle, puts us in the frame of mind that focuses our atten­tion on to the good things in our life sit­u­a­tion and reduces the ten­dency to focus on the neg­a­tive things in our life sit­u­a­tion.
The more hap­pily and grate­fully we fix our minds on the good things is the more good things that will be streamed into our lives.
There­fore, from my point of view, it is only through joy that can begin to receive money, good rela­tion­ships, excel­lent health, energy and vigour, pas­sion and so on.
With­out joy we fix­ate on the neg­a­tive and put our­selves in the frame of mind of want­ing. Accord­ing to Wal­lace D. Wat­tles: to per­mit our minds to “dwell on the infe­rior is to become infe­rior and sur­round our­selves with infe­rior things”

Karen says

Joy — it is the pur­pose of life — to cre­ate joy is to par­tic­i­pate in every­thing with every­one, and to expe­ri­ence joy is beyond wonderful.

Kevin says

I read all the com­ments shown. Inter­est­ing to read the rea­son­ing. I will agree whole­heart­edly that when a per­son has no money, it is very dif­fi­cult to move ahead in this world. It can be par­al­iz­ing. I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity as it is our core being, our con­nec­tion to Source and I believe our real rea­son for being…being here.….and being now.

Steve says

I choose Health since that is the back­bone for all the rest. When my father lost his health, his pas­sion for every­thing else in life went away.

Mark says

My most press­ing area is money…
How­ever, I chose relationships…why…
I look at is an over­ar­ch­ing area — my rela­tion­ship
with God or Spirit or Source, my rela­tion­ship with the Uni­verse, with my envi­ron­ment, with money, with peo­ple, with ani­mals, etc. — you get the picture…How do I relate or fit in with every­thing else…both as part of the whole and yet disctict…

Heather says

When I think about it, all of these words are impor­tant in life but I feel that pas­sion is one of the most impor­tant. With­out pas­sion every­thing else seems dull.
When you have pas­sion in your life you can acheive beauty, energy, money, rela­tion­ships, health, joy,& spir­i­tu­al­ity! Life is good…embrace your passion!

Edji says

Good ques­tion.

I chose Joy. When we have a joy­ful heart, we con­cen­trate on the pos­i­tive and beau­ti­ful aspects of life, we focus on what we love and appre­ci­ate, we eas­ily let go, we have beliefs and faith. Any­thing is pos­si­ble! Pas­sion, beauty, energy, health, wealth, spir­i­tu­al­ity… can nat­u­rally or eas­ily flow into our life… to stay! Too much pas­sion, energy and wealth with­out joy can be destruc­tive. Health with­out joy becomes unhealthy! Spir­i­tu­al­ity with­out joy serves what pur­pose? To com­plain all the time?
Just a thought!

elisa says

HEALTH, the most impor­tant thing in life, it gives you(joy, energy, beauty and you feel like have friends, have
nice talks.…)
MONEY, impor­tant for you to lice w/comfort, study, be healthy, etc..
LOVE, “in your heart” always, oth­er­wise you become
“bit­ter” and “a crank”.

Greg says

It comes down to “what is the pur­pose of this life”

Jacqueline says

I chose health because I am at the stage where I believe that health is nec­es­sary to be able to take advan­tage of all the oth­ers. How­ever, spir­i­tu­al­ity comes in a very close sec­ond. Actu­ally, I debated between the two.

Jacque­line

Tonkins says

Hey Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity in the beilef that this is the essence of all things and, our spir­i­tual jour­ney is the path that reveals our true self. For me per­son­ally, the pri­mary area of inter­est has been work­ing on releas­ing all the fears & neg­a­tive down­load to allow the free­dom
of liv­ing every moment of this incred­i­ble ful­fill­ing life that we are all capa­ble and deserv­ing of. This is the Soul Food you have shared which has truly changed my out look on life!
Many Thanks & Many Bless­ings!
Tonkins.

Anne says

I have been both healthy and unhealthy in my life. Being unhealthy is such a dis­trac­tion to what­ever I am try­ing to accom­plish that I feel it is a basic necessity.

gloria says

morn­ing Burt, to me they are all nec­es­sary parts of life in this dimen­sion, on this planet. How­ever, it seems to me that spir­i­tu­al­ity — in it’s broad­est sense — opens our minds to all pos­si­bil­i­ties — and that is so much more than we are aware of. to me the excit­ing thing is not to have all the answers — but the fun in search­ing. thank you for beinng so car­ing. gloria

John says

I tried to choose two (health & spir­i­tu­al­ity), but I could only choose one. The one I chose was health. As Jesus preached the gospel(the spir­i­tual) He also healed all man­ner of sick­ness and man­ner of diseases(Matt.4:23). Also, Matt.6:32–33, …for your Father know you have need of all these this things(that which is natural)vs32. In vs33, But seek first the King­dom of God and His righteousness(the spir­i­tual). You can see now why I tried to choose the two. No mat­ter how spir­i­tual you are, if you are sick and infirmed your first con­cern is healing.

Daniela says

Because joy indi­cates some­how that every­thing goes right and it includes in it all the rest areas. If we are happy means we do the right step, so joy full­fil our lives, and being happy is the only oblig­a­tion we really have. All the rest leads to it.

Theresa says

I agree with Car­o­line — health is para­mount. If a per­son is not in good health, noth­ing else matters.

John W Herbert says

Mak­ing a per­ma­nent con­nec­tion with the higher Self is my one and only goal. Once this con­nec­tion is made all other prob­lems are instantly solved not for you but by you. This occurs because by con­nect­ing with our higher Self we are con­nect­ing to the high­est source of intel­li­gence there is as well infi­nite power to bring forth our solu­tions to any prob­lem or to cre­ate any desired sit­u­a­tion we wish that is for the good of all concerned.

TOMAS says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, with­out that every­thing else is empty.

Linda says

Good expe­ri­ences are dimin­ished, and bad are enhanced when we feel bad. We can­not feel well phys­i­cally or spir­i­tu­ally with bad health, so with­out good health, not much else matters.

liz says

HEALTH. Every sin­gle one of these things you men­tion are of para­mount impor­tance for a rich full life, but with­out HEALTH, you couldn’t enjoy even one one of them.
Here’s Health to you Burt and all of us. Liz.

Avihai says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it makes you as close as pos­si­ble to your unique self. When one knows his spir­i­tu­al­ity he can get health,wealth,joy and what­ever he wishes.

Liz says

I choose Spritu­al­ity because every thing will fall in to place when you have a real­tion­ship with GOD.

Andrew says

I believe you asked which of these is (should be is — we can only choose one) most impor­tant, not which do we need or want. Joy is the most impor­tant of these essences in my life. When I am a joy­ful par­ent, my chil­dren learn love. When I am a joy­ful teacher, my stu­dents learn love. When I am joy­ful, I, too, learn love. I’m glad you chose the word ‘joy’ over ‘hap­pi­ness’ (even though I teach a Hap­pi­ness Gen­er­a­tor Work­shop based on Marci Shimoff’s book); joy is the exult­ing of the spirit when the spirit touches other souls/hearts/spirits within the energy of love. Thanks for ask­ing, Burt!

Mary says

I chose energy because energy is the basis of what we are. To touch or con­trol our energy allows us to direct our lives.

hock goh says

Hello Burt,
I choose health. I believe with health one can pur­sue spir­i­tu­al­ity and with the right thoughts and prac­tices other things will fall into place.

Marilyn says

I feel I would be whole and com­plete, it is a yearn­ing deep inside to being in a one­ness state with every­thing, for exam­ple, Once you get a piece of a pie you don’t want to stop uni­til it is gone, you keep want­ing and want­ing more and more. For me per­son­ally it seemed like it was kind of thrown at me and it just kept com­ing and com­ing, there was always a teacher thrown at me when I was ready to move to the next level and it keeps get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter because I know there is so much to learn, I don’t think one life­time would be suf­fice. Bless­ings.
Marilyn

Wendy says

spir­i­tu­al­ity because of the spirit within that expands and deep­ens on all lev­els and realms…

Bob says

I chose money, because the search for the oth­ers deemed much sim­plar, plus the abun­dance of money, affords one the free­dom and time to explore the others.

Betty says

I chose health because I vis­ited my sis­ter in nurs­ing home. She has money, rela­tion­ship (hus­band), but can she enjoy it? I am happy to have good health at 76 and enough money to travel, have goog rela­tion­ship, enjoy learn­ing new things, i.e. your pro­grams, meditation–so health is vital to enjoy life.

Nic says

I picked Rela­tion­ships. They are not the source of hap­pi­ness, but I don’t think hap­pi­ness is truly enjoyed unless it is shared.

Pennie says

I picked Joy. All the items on the list are impor­tant to me, but I believe that if you con­stantly feel joy, then every­thing else in life must be feel­ing pretty good too.

Jose says

Burt, I have to say health is the most impor­tant to me. With health I can work to have the rest of them, like Joy, spir­i­tu­al­ity, money, etc.

Thanks for asking.

Jose

Julie says

Thank You Burt

You are an inspi­ra­tion. It has me med­i­tat­ing on your question.

I chose Joy as I feel that is encom­passes them all. I am spirit, I am energy, and beauty, ect.

I am curi­ous as to your thoughts on courage, could it be part of the list? Do we have the courage to be more fully– pas­sion, health, beauty, in a real­tion­ship, spir­i­tual, etc.…..

For love, har­mony and beauty.
smiles and hugs(both sides)
Julie

Cathy says

Hello Burt,

I choose Health as I’am a “Cer­tifed Per­sonal Trainer”,I enjoy good health &with­out your health first you can­not enjoy money,parties & trips etc.So my answer is health first & the rest will fall into place.also the power of prayer is first,God blesses us with good health &gifts.
So health & prayers also think­ing with a pos­i­tive mind set.
Cheers
Cathy Reid

jasmin says

I think all of these almost goes hand in hand but spir­i­tu­al­ity is the one unique thing that can hold you alive in your life, there is the source for everything./jasmin

Miguel says

I go with energy… as I’ve learned through your Sem­i­nars and Bob Proctor’s and the movie “The Secret”… all we are is just energy… and as we learn how to man­i­fest it dur­ing our exis­tence it’s the kind of things we’re going to get… so if I have Energy then I can attract all the other choices you’ve men­tioned, get them and enjoy them in my life…

Judy says

Being of the spirit in this mor­tal form
is enough of a test, don’t you think?

Vicki says

Hi Burt,
Well, I really wanted to pick more than just one but since I was lim­ited I chose money. The pri­mary rea­son is that I’m a sin­gle mom with a 13 year old and we live with my mom (groan because she’s alco­holic, smoker and gen­er­ally neg­a­tive per­son) due to lack of money. I have HUGE amounts of credit card debt (start­ing a com­pany then the econ­omy goes belly up so I’m not get­ting any­thing from that, my son has braces and had to have gum surgery) etc. If I could get enough money to get out of debt my son and I could make some changes which would then (hope­fully) improve our rela­tion­ship. I would also like to have cho­sen “joy”, “health”, “spir­i­tu­al­ity” and “energy” and although those are all VERY impor­tant to me — my finan­cial issue REALLY takes prece­dence right now unfortunately.

Rebecca says

Hi Burt,
I chose pas­sion because with­out pas­sion none of the
rest matters.It’s just that simple.

Ruben says

I choose rela­tion­ships because that is what i have not had, yet. The right answer would be health, spir­i­tu­al­ity, hap­pi­ness, joy. . I am aware of the impor­tance of real things. How is it that we long for what we don’t have.

Maureen says

I went with spir­i­tu­al­ity. When we are in need of health, repair­ing a rela­tion­ship, finances, joy, peace and so on, we pray for these things and ask for spir­i­tual guid­ance. When you think of the birds and the ani­mals you real­ize that they are cared for and given what they need to sur­vive. As are we. Though it may not be what we think we are look­ing for. All things great and won­der­ful are here for us to behold. Knock and the door shall be opened, ask and you shall receive.

g.j. says

Joy is my choice. All other choices are a means to an end. Rela­tion­ship, spir­i­tu­al­ity, money, even health are all nec­es­sary to obtain hap­pi­ness and by impli­ca­tion JOY.

Bonnie says

I chose pas­sion because I think all the other qual­i­ties and desires spring from it. When I have felt pas­sion­ate about some­thing, noth­ing has stopped me. It gave me energy, hap­pi­ness, brought money into my life and I believe enhanced my health.

Winfried says

We are incar­nated in this body and in this world of space and time. All we achieve, we achieve through our higher self and to get con­sciously in con­tact with our higher self we have to focus our aware­ness on the spir­i­tual level of our reality.

Kim says

I picked Health since that is the one part of my life I have had ongo­ing issues with. (I always have it seems)

It affects all the other issues no way around it when you break it all down. Be it neg­a­tive or good..no mat­ter what it is always at the base of every day in my life.

Kim

Lisa says

My spir­i­tual evo­lu­tion is the most impor­tant to me, because that’s why I am here on this planet. I get to cre­ate how I expe­ri­ence that evo­lu­tion. I believe that all things are pos­si­ble, and that we can choose what we want. In fact, we are always choos­ing what we want. I want to be con­scious of my choices, and take respon­si­bil­ity for them! Thank you Burt!

Coleen says

I was a sin­gle Mom for 13 years strug­gling to feed my chil­dren, I worked 2 full-time jobs just so we could live. In a sense, I merely just existed. In all that time with­out one of those gifts, that’s what it was, exist­ing. First I gained inner peace, which gave me joy. Then I received bet­ter health, and that gave me great joy. One after the other, these gifts just kept rolling in every­day, and I was joy­ful. Now each and every day, I wake up grate­ful and with joy! I believe they all depend on each other to exist, but once you bring in joy­ful­ness, the oth­ers just fall into line.

Warren says

Hi Burt, and to all that will be read­ing this.
I go with ‘energy’ as I believe that as much as all the other points are impor­tant to some respect, the bal­ance and flow of energy is what makes the world we know, and don’t under­stand, exist.
We get back that which we give out. All our actions, words, feel­ings and thoughts deter­mine what we expe­ri­ence in life by the level and strength of the ener­gies we send to the universe.

Thank­ing you in Abundance!

Craig says

Good health lets all else happen

a says

joy..cause that what you ulti­mately seek at the end of the day.

Deirdre McKeown says

Dear Burt,

As I looked through the qual­i­ties one stood out for me,
almost shimmered…It sur­prised me. It was the word beauty. I looked again, down all the won­der­ful words you had listed but again that word Beauty pulled me.
I pushed the but­ton, and then went to the dic­tio­nary to bet­ter under­stand why I had cho­sen beauty. Web­ster defines the word as “a pleas­ing com­bi­na­tion of qual­i­ties in a per­son or object; a par­tic­u­lar grace or excellence…As I con­sider this I real­ize that beauty added to any of the other words enriches and defines them.
A rela­tion­ship of beauty is a joy­ful thing! Bring­ing beauty to money would mean bring­ing excel­lence and grace into that arena. If we were think­ing “beauty” I believe we would be cre­ative in all areas.…even spir­i­tu­al­ity.
To bring beauty to our lives, our thoughts, our beings right where we are…with or with­out health, money, rela­tion­ship would be to bring a spark of the divine alive in us that would enrich our lives.

Thank you for your blessed energy, thought, and shar­ing in this world.

Bless­ings,

Deirdre

Lisa says

Hello Burt,Thank you for all you have done to help peo­ple!! You are a Big inspi­ra­tion to us all!! I read some of these comments,and thought for a moment,I believe every­one one needs all of the above here and now on this Earth to be happy,and because of our economy,we all need Money,Health,Energy,etc.. But I choose Spirituality!!But I think you need to look at the big Pic­ture here, Since God is our Cre­ator and put us on this Earth and will take us when he is ready or when the time comes,we need to be ready for him!!!,because in the end it will be God we face!!if you BELIEVE in our Creator,you will get through all the tough times,I have tough times too!! But Through God we can do all things as God is all things and we are part of him!Yes we need all of things above now,but you can’t take money with you in the end,God will pro­vide in mys­te­ri­ous ways all the things you need on earth,but you have to choose to believe in him first and except him into your heart,all of the other things will fol­low! God Bless You All!!!

Don says

I choose money Burt, because right now I need it the most. That is what all this comes down to right. I know money can’t buy you all the dif­fer­ent things you listed, but I can’t think of any­thing other then money. I have Health but money would make me Health­ier cost is impor­tant, I have Energy But with out think­ing about money all the time I would have more energy but it’s wasted on mak­ing more money. I have.….…
What I’m say­ing Burt, MONEY is what makes the world go around and every­one needs ONE MORE DOLLAR TO HELP THERE WORLD GO AROUND.
Money is not the answer to your ques­tion Burt, except with it, you can have more of every­thing your ques­tion asked for. You could say it like Linda Lou just said it in her coments listed above.

Elaine says

For me every­thing is Spirit express­ing itself through mat­ter. As we are spir­i­tual beings hav­ing a human expe­ri­ence it all starts and ends with Spirit, so spir­i­tu­al­ity is the only choice I can make, as all else springs from it.

Tracy says

I chose rela­tion­ships. I feel that with­out a strong rela­tion­ship to lean on in trou­bled times, noth­ing else matters.

Alfredo says

Have you real­ize that when you are enjoy­ing some­thing you do not need other things? That’s why I selected “joy”!

Jenni Tucker says

I agree with Roberto so I too chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because if that is right all the oth­ers come. I am very con­scious that I must keep my soul unstained or at least as clean as I can!!

Julia says

At the moment I selected money because I want to live with finan­cial free­dom.
I feel quite all right in other areas, health, fam­ily, spirituality.

Ladyj says

With spir­i­tu­al­ity all of the oth­ers will fall in place. There is noth­ing that can’t be accom­plished when you are in touch with who you are.

Pamela says

Dear Burt, Of all the choices, I chose energy. The rea­son is because, I find myself not hav­ing enough energy to get every­thing done that I need to do and Want to do each day. I am spir­i­tual, and love the Lord. I am very pas­sion­ate about every­thing in my life and the things that I want to do. I (praise God) have good health. I have the joy of the Lord and even when things are not per­fect in my life, I still feel the Joy of the Lord. My rela­tion­ships with my fam­ily are good. If I had more time and energy I feel that I could do bet­ter with that. Beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder and I feel that I am beau­ti­ful to my hus­band and fam­ily, so I am not con­cerned about that. So money is the only other thing that is lack­ing in my life. We make a good enough liv­ing, how­ever, I would love to have more so that we never had to worry. That again, would entail more energy and time con­trol.
Thanks for the oppor­tu­nity to share.

Pamela

Shuchi says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity, because aware­ness of one’s true self can lead to all the things we want…

Taunya says

I selected energy. I have dis­cov­ered that with the right energy and enough energy, the rest (pas­sion, beauty, money, joy, health, rela­tion­ships, spir­i­tu­al­ity) will fol­low. If I lack the energy to pur­sue a rela­tion­ship or a busi­ness lead, then I miss an oppor­tu­nity to make a friend or earn a liv­ing. With­out energy, I may skip my med­i­ta­tion ses­sion, which could cause my mind to not respond in a pos­i­tive way to a problem.

Simon says

Hi Burt,

I am more con­cerned about rela­tion­ships and fam­ily comes first to me. I love my hus­band very much.we are mar­ried for 5yrs now and are try­ing for baby . this is build­ing more stress among us and also i am unem­ployed for last 2 yrs. so he is only earn­ing per­son to run fam­ily. so he is dou­bled stress. I want to con­tribute to my hus­band, to my fam­ily. i am doing it all the time. i trea­sure rela­tion­ship. I am fol­low­ing Quan­tum jun­ping 1,2,3 part for last 2 weeks but no gr8 result. i am doing work from home for last 2 weeks (click­ing web­site) and in 2 weeks time $1.92.00 income. so noth­ing not­i­ca­ble.
look­ing for­ward to hear good news

thanks for videos. please answer my ear­lier 2 ques­tions.
GOD BLESS !!!

ela says

I’ve cho­sen ‘health’ because if you have it you live with­out any fear and you may reach the oth­ers. Of course it doesn’t mean that those hav­ing health prob­lems are not happy. Some­times when you lose some­thing you appre­ci­ate other things in life.

Fajar says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity! With spir­i­tu­al­ity we can achieve the rest of those areas.

Keith says

I chose money because that is the area that deliv­ers more stress to me than any­thing else. It was a tough choice between health and money. Yet my health is excel­lent and I am pro­tec­tive of myself in regards to stay­ing healthy. Money on the other hand has van­ished as quickly as it appears. Look­ing to entice it to stay for quite a long while. Curi­ous as to what you are up to, Mr. Gold­man. Thanks for all that you do for us..

valerie says

I require more time, more money and more energy. There is just too much to do,not enough money and I’m get­ting tired.

Bill Henderson says

Burt
I picked spir­i­tu­al­ity because I have been blessed all my life even dur­ing the dark peri­ods. The one thing I have always ended up con­nect­ing with was a con­nec­tion to the cre­ator. So it makes per­fect sense to me that this con­nec­tion lead to all the oth­ers. It took me many trips to the plate before I finally hit the home run and asked for help from God. Why am I here and what should I be doing as my part in the Uni­verse. Since than all the doors have blown wide open. Burt you were one of the doors. thank you and God Bless.
Bill

Douglas says

I voted money. The exchange rate is 1$=R10.00+/-.I would like to buy courses from the USA but a lot of money and wor­ried about money situation.Health is also very impor­tant and spe­cial at my age, not very well at present.Thanks for shar­ing with us.

ruth says

i choose a lov­ing rela­tion­ship with a partner.…having been mar­ried for 41 years i am want­ing to repeat that same kind of love .….

Autumn says

Hello Burt…I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with­out that, my true pur­pose in life and who I am remain unknown and “all those other things” won’t be added either.

Laura says

i chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, cause i love magic moments, and these lead me to all the joy of the world!!! if you’re once into your spirit, you will find lit­tle won­ders every­where around you, and that makes me the hap­pi­est per­son in the world, espe­cially when i can share with friends!!

Joyce Crete says

I chose rela­tion­ships as its the clos­est to what I value most. ‘Being able to help oth­ers’. Money — Health — Energy will also aid in my abil­ity to help.

C.M. says

Because they are the foun­da­tion upon which a good life is built.
Build the rela­tion­ship with God, the oth­ers will come. Do your best to help with God’s mission.

Don’t send any­thing with a price tag attached!

Lea says

I chose money for some very sim­ple rea­sons. First, when you do not have enough to main­tain a healthy (foods) lifestyle, which is much more expen­sive, then it’s dif­fi­cult to main­tain the proper nutri­tion to remain healthy. (Been there done that). Sec­ond, with­out money I can­not pur­chase the new car I so des­per­ately need. Third, with­out money I can­not pay for a roof over my head, instead of this ‘bed­room’ I live in. (I can only be very thank­ful for it). With­out money, I can­not be char­i­ta­ble to oth­ers, when I can­not main­tain my own life; although I’ve put my last dol­lar into ‘sow­ing’ with my faith, that didn’t work. All that hap­pened is I did with­out my needs being met. That mound of faith for a 30,60 or 100 per­cent return didn’t work. With­out money, I have no insur­ance, no way to go to the doc­tor or den­tist to main­tain my health. (This is where I’m at now). I could be as joy­ful as I can be; as deter­mined to find myself and my mean­ing here, as Christo­pher Colum­bus was in find­ing a new land; how­ever, the world was not built on only good inten­tions. It also took…money.

Jacobus Jurgens says

I sin­cerely believe that with­out good health (and spir­i­tu­al­ity) life would not be worth liv­ing. Good health for one­self and your loved ones makes for cre­at­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties to advance your­self a lot eas­ier.
With good health comes a more pos­i­tive mind, the key to get­ting a good job, earn money and sus­tain healthy rela­tion­ships with others.

Linda J says

I choose joy as most impor­tant at this moment. When you have real joy you nat­u­rally radi­ate joy to every­one. Joy helps you main­tain bal­ance, which helps with your energy, health, rela­tion­ships, money, spir­i­tu­al­ity and more. It all ties together.

Michael says

Even though I am not there. My choice was spir­i­tu­al­ity as I believe that if we could get into a very close sym­bi­otic rela­tion­ship with that which we are con­nected with that all of the oth­ers will fall into abundance.

narong says

dear Burt
Very sorry. I really don’t know how to tell you the rea­son, for what I have selected is a kind of feeling,which I believe you already know very well, since we are all “one mind”?(I don’t know exactly what it is either)
May I ask one ques­tion. Could you please sug­gest a tech­nique that will make me always feel good and happy(“feeling” not just thinking)whenever I see “hap­pi­ness” in other peo­ple?
peace and joy

Pauline says

I voted for health. With it, you can con­cen­trate, and develop other areas. With ill health, it’s hard to focus on improv­ing. How­ever, the com­ment that I read vot­ing for spir­i­tu­al­ity made a good point also. If you can mas­ter med­i­ta­tion and spir­i­tual devel­op­ment while in ill health, you may be able to over­come it. I have a rel­a­tive who was given about six months to live, roughly 15 months ago. I think he’s man­aged to stay here this long by non-medical means, though I haven’t heard pre­cisely what they are. Any­way, health and spir­i­tu­al­ity rank at the top, in my opinion.

Clarissa Woolfolk says

Money is most impor­tant to me, because in todays soci­ety you need it to do prac­tially every­thing. With out it you are lim­ited to oppor­tu­ni­ties and things. I’m a spir­tual per­son and I love doing and help­ing peo­ple and I’m not at my hap­pi­est when I see peo­ple in need and I am not able to help.

Bill says

From what I have been read­ing, it’s has to be energy. If every­thing is made from energy, then all that we want is pos­si­ble if we use it correctly.

Score says

With­out a nor­mal phys­i­cal and spir­i­tal health the rest is not impor­tant, so of course I voted health. Next I
would like to be able to get any of Burt’s “tricks” work­ing for me. I try and try but to no awail. ;-(
At 75 but with IQ 125 I’m con­sid­ered nor­mal retired air­line cap­tain, but I won­der if it’s only those few
who suc­ceeds with some of the “tricks” that we hear about while the rest, 95% just shut up.
Cheers
Score

Bill says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the key and utmost area with which we must be con­cerned. Within spir­i­tu­al­ity resides all the oth­ers. Through know­ing who an what we are can and will lead to the achieve­ment of all the oth­ers if we so desire. Hid­den within the spir­i­tual quest is the ulti­mate real­ity of what is pas­sion, what is beauty, how we can achieve money, health, good rela­tion­ships, and daily joy­ous liv­ing. Spir­i­tual knowl­edge and truths can only lead to bet­ter­ment in one’s over­all environment.

Maite says

I say energy, with­out energy to move noth­ing comes to you and you can not offer what you have.

Antae says

For me Pas­sion It is a key which unlock every Door. It helps me to achive my vision.

Susan says

Joy gives me the proper frame of mind to achieve in all other areas. Joy allows me to eas­ily con­nect with that quiet, spir­i­tual place inside. A per­son com­ing from a place of joy has lower stress, lower blood pres­sure, and the focus to engage in health­ful liv­ing like exer­cis­ing and eat­ing right. Joy also gives you the patience and com­pas­sion to han­dle rela­tion­ships from a point of love. A joy­ful out­look gives me the pres­ence and focus to earn as much money as needed to sup­port a health­ful, com­fort­able lifestyle for myself and loved ones. I think once these things are in order, that also feeds pas­sion for life, as well as pas­sion for one’s own spe­cial gift(s).

robert francis says

ive been more broke than the ten com­mand­ments for most of my life. i med­i­tate daily and believe that i will pull the money to turn my life around with enlight­ened peo­ple like the amer­i­can monk about i now believe it to be totally pos­si­ble believe and no mat­ter what gets in your way you will achieve thanks rob f

Ken says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, not because the other things are not impor­tant, but because it is spir­i­tu­al­ity which sets the value on all other things. Spir­i­tu­al­ity answers the “Why?” ques­tions. All the other great things are either great because they are aspects of Spirit, or because they are means to reach the ends set by spirituality.

claude says

i chose health because if youre sick noth­ing else mather

kristina says

When we are HEALHTY have har­monic mind-body –soul.We radi­ate DIVINE light & work & pro­duce what helps many oth­ers . We can all 9 lev­els from spiru­tal,
fam­ily, finacal etc har­moni­razed & reked­nel oth­ers
JOYFULY*
Every one is HAPPY & help­ing MANY SICK KIDS & OTHER HIGEST
CONSCIUOSENSS PUROSES to PEACE/LOVE/ GLOBALY.*

Carol says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is at the core of every­thing for me. It influ­ences all of the oth­ers to the degree that I place the other aspects of life in that context.

Faith says

Hi Burt,
This was tough to decide, but I finally chose rela­tion­ships over spir­i­tu­al­ity. To me, rela­tion­ships mean love, (uni­ver­sal love) — from a part­ner, to a child, to fam­ily, to friends, cowork­ers, com­mu­ni­ties, to every­one we come in con­tact with and those we don’t. It’s impor­tant to feel we have con­nec­tion to all human beings. So I agree with Brenda, who posted above. With­out love, what do we have?

LaVonne Boyd says

For me it is “Rela­tion­ship” with a big R. this is my rela­tion­ship with GOD, myself, my grand­chil­dren, my fam­ily and friends and how I relate to the envi­ron­ment I am in. At the moment I am work­ing on improv­ing the rela­tion­ships where I work, one of which is very trou­bling.
Thanks Burt for your great work.

Barbara says

I chose Joy, and the rea­son I chose joy is because when you are happy and appre­ci­ate “just because your here) all the other things will come. Like money, rela­tion­ships, pas­sion and spir­tu­al­ity. So Joy is the most impor­tant field for me.

Bonnie says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because when you are in spirit all desires will flow to you.

Sheri says

Hi Burt, Two years ago I would have cho­sen “health”. With­out your health noth­ing else mat­ters. Two years ago my health was in bad shape, now I can say at 59, my health is excel­lent because I took action. Right now, “energy” is most impor­tant. Over the past 9 months, I have been blessed to come across some of the most amaz­ing infor­ma­tion. I real­ize that we are, along with every­thing else, made up of “energy”. Energy is what is attract­ing every­thing on every level. Noth­ing exists with­out energy. When we attempt to man­i­fest, it is the “energy” we are trans­mit­ting to an etheric level. I have been blown away with all this new infor­ma­tion and I thank you for the infor­ma­tion you have sent. Par­tic­u­larly “The Daisy Pond”. It has helped tremen­dously in sharp­en­ing my focus, and is very relaxing.

Brigitte says

I picked rela­tion­ship because although you don’t choose you fam­ily I think they are the most impor­tant. They are there when you fail, have great suc­cess, hardachs, trou­bled times and so on!!!!!!!!!.
Its hard to just pick out 1 because a lot of these top­ics are very impor­tant to me.

Ira Walden says

I was actu­ally torn between spir­i­tu­al­ity, health, or money in that order. Since I could only choose one. I chose money. In the firt place money would allow me to live a bet­ter life. I could help my daugh­ter and grand­chil­dren, who are strug­gling right now. Hav­ing same would free me up to be more phil­an­thropic to my church fam­ily & var­i­ous char­i­ties. I could pur­chase a car which would make me more mobile and less depen­dent on oth­ers. Finally, I would have more time to really med­i­tate and become closer to my higher power. Sin­cerely, Ira Walden

Velda says

If you have the right energy, you are vibrat­ing at a high leavel and then any­thing is possible.

lam says

I choose health because we cant buy health.if we are healthy we can go out and earn money.with good health we find also pas­sion in within ourself.Without health,we can­not be spir­i­tu­ally moti­vated and we can­not have the beauty that lies inside oneself,the energy to do what we want.

Sandy says

Def­i­nitely joy — you could have every­thing the Uni­verse has to offer, but if you’re not happy then it means nothing.

Joseph K. Brady-Amoon says

Health! Because then you are able to actu­al­ize the oth­ers. Joy>Passion>Energy>Relationships… and so it goes. Bet­ter, Bet­ter, and Better!

Fred says

I thought if I had JOY I could live with the other things. My first thought was money but many peo­ple have money and not happiness.

Nell says

Money. This world revolves around money, and you can’t be joy­ful or healthy with out money.

Tom says

I voted for joy. I believe that joy is an expres­sion of love and that love is an expres­sion of spirit. With­out joy, this would truly be a mis­er­able existence.

Louise says

HOpe this finds you well rela­tion­ships, to be more precise..dealing with peo­ple in general..relatives,friends, etc..most are totally upstream, con­ver­sa­tions or com­ments revolve on past/future, and whin­ing or com­plain­ing or criticizing…i just listen..send them love..forgive myself for attract­ing these conversations..and yes say­ing thank you for the con­trast… i want to attract more like minded people…happy, now peo­ple
be well BUrt and Merci !!

Pamela says

Hello Mr. Gold­man, I believe hap­pi­ness and joy are para­mount, every­thing else will fall into place. Our Cre­ators, which we are also, wants us to live and enjoy the jour­ney and the adven­ture of it ALL!! Love and Light Pamela

Terry says

I choose money, not because its my favorite but because we can buy the proper foods to stay healthy and afford the proper help to get what we desire. When all the bills are paid and we are com­fort­able then its eas­ier to line up with other resources.

ofelia says

I believe that with­out spir­i­tu­al­ity every­thing lacks of the real sense.
If we really made life a party of the Sense, we would be able to have every­thing else.
A spir­i­tual per­son is a beloved per­son, a per­son with health and a per­son who knows where to go when it is needed.

Lauren says

Hi Burt:

Any chance the above non-link can be made to work?

Mary says

There is a joke..about a Woman talk­ing about men and she says “With one of these I can get all those I want“
With the Spir­i­tual realms I can get Health Wealth and Friendship..Why would I choose any other?? Money only Buys friends, and things…Health only takes care of the phys­i­cal plane…and while I’ll admit hav­ing a Friend is very impor­tant with­out the other things in place, a friend is only a shoul­der to cry on..and I’m just not that found of crying…even if the shoul­der is good looking…So from me to you…Blessings in Love, Health, Wealth, and Friend­ship…
Just Mary…

jeri hyde says

Health: men­tal, phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual, and emo­tional perfection..and every­thing else will be added!

Amy says

Rela­tion­ships. When you love and are loved you can do anything!

Gregory A. Clifton says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, because with­out God and his guid­ance we are noth­ing but a fleet­ing moment in his thoughts.

Light and Love
Greg

Linda Lou says

I voted for money. I see beauty in the world already. Money can help you to be healthy eat­ing the right foods. I have energy, joy, spir­i­tu­al­ity, and rela­tion­ships. I know what my pas­sion is for a new career I want, I just need to med­i­tate on it a bit more.
You would think if I had enough pas­sion to get money I would fig­ure out a way?
So, as I said money, if I had a lot of money I would be help­ing all my friends, rel­a­tives, and charities.

Rachel says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with God all things are
possible.

vinay says

i chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because i strongly believe we all are spir­i­tual beings out here in human form to learn cer­tain lessons in this phys­i­cal dimen­sion, so all the oth­ers viz. health, money, pas­sion, joy, hap­pi­ness, and all oth­ers are just means or tools to learn those impor­tant and unavoid­able lessons in this dimen­sion.
grow­ing spir­i­tu­ally is all about lov­ing , under­stand­ing and for­giv­ing. we never die and we are immor­tal and we all are always con­nected in spirit.

Paulina says

I picked health because I believe that we can learn meth­ods to not only heal our­selves but also to heal oth­ers at a dis­tance and in per­son. What a gift would that be to human­ity? I would love to learn dif­fer­ent modal­i­ties for healing.

Marcella says

With joy in your life you can have almost anything.

Allan says

Money, based upon where most of my resouces are cur­rently invested. I would pre­fer a har­mo­nious bal­ance for all the listed areas. Each of those endeav­ors is wor­thy of atten­tion. I would feel that I were able to thrive if in it’s time each received suf­fi­cient resources in order to flourish.

Chris says

I took rela­tion­ship because we are all related with each other — even with god. And when we find out, how to have good rela­tion­ships, we are happy, healthy and spir­i­tual beings (and maybe even money relates to us…)
Greet­ings from Switzer­land

Margie says

Hi Burt,

That was an excel­lent ques­tion, one I have been asked many times. Health is of course the most impor­tant to me but the lack of money puts such stress on the mind which causes ill­ness. That is why I am so inter­ested in your quan­tum jump­ing. I had lost part of my eye­sight due to stress 2 yrs ago. I refuse to let it hap­pen again! I am also study­ing life coach­ing and chang­ing my life. I am also keep­ing up on my health drink­ing Mona Vie. If you have not tried it, please let me know. Between you, Mona Vie & my life coach­ing I look for­ward to ha happy, healthy & suc­cess­ful life! Thank you! Sin­cerely, Margie

Julie says

With­out health none of the rest can be attained or enjoyed.

Mary Hadfield says

I chose money. Money is the mode through which every­thing can be improved. It gives you more options to bet­ter health, pas­sion, energy, rela­tion­ships, joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity. With money you can afford to help oth­ers finan­cially in your rela­tion­ships, you can get the best help in every area of your life if you have money, it just gives you more options. You can have bet­ter health, pas­sion, energy, rela­tion­ships, joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity with less money, but money will help you get bet­ter choices to become bet­ter, to afford the best. Every­thing is linked to money. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is a very per­sonal thing and joy is def­i­nitely linked to this. Money is key here espe­cially if you want to attend con­fer­ences, get coun­selling, etc. to improve your spir­i­tu­al­ity. You can do this on your own as well, but if you want to move ahead and improve it does take money. All of the areas are impor­tant, but every­thing is linked to money if you want to move ahead and improve.

Kathleen says

Pas­sion makes it all worth­while. Love, spir­i­tu­al­ity, food, money, what­ever, doesn’t mean a thing with­out the pas­sion to feel deeply and involved, that you care about any of it.

Jaci says

I believe they are all very impor­tant. I believe we all want all of these thing. I chose rela­tion­ships, because I believe that love puts us on the high­est fre­quencey that we can be on to attract all the other things we also con­sider impor­tant, like money and joy and health

Susan says

I chose Health, again, I believe along with oth­ers here that you are going to choose the one that you need the most.….my health is pretty lousy right now. If I had my health then I would be able to achieve the rest of them…

Sabrina says

I feel health is the most impor­tant — being very ill a few years ago, I couldn’t do any­thing, but also money is impor­tant too. When I was ill I had to remort­gage my home twice as I didn’t have an income and now I have a big mort­gage and am stressed again and try­ing to find a job. I had to close my busi­ness when I was ill and am now try­ing to go back to work and also hav­ing to work for some­one is very hard after being self employed. So health and money first, also rela­tion­ships (good sup­port from friends) and spir­i­tu­al­ity has helped me along the way, hope this makes sense! I believe they are all impor­tant as I am alone and have some great friends but no day to day sup­port from a part­ner and am very wor­ried about my money situation.

Nancy says

After really think­ing about it, I had to select ‘energy’ for a few rea­sons. When your energy is flow­ing, and you are able to chan­nel it, you can accom­plish any­thing. Your focus is clear, and you are able to give freely to all other aspects of your life. When my energy is askew, I know that the areas in my life that are most impor­tant, e.g., health, rela­tion­ships, spir­i­tu­al­ity, finances, all suf­fer. But that’s just me

Milu says

I choose Spir­i­tu­al­ity because with it I can achieve every­thing that is impor­tant to me

patrice says

I choose Joy, because I beleive that Joy is the base for every thing else.

Jeri says

Money was first on the list because my hus­band has Alzheimer’s, we live with our son and fam­ily, because plan­ning was not made for our retire­ment years. Finan­cial inde­pen­dence is very much on my mind.

Joy was sec­ond, because some­times I go in my black hole.

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is third. I feel deeply con­nected to my higher power.

Pierre says

Hi Burt,

I choose joy, because if you have joy in your life you can have every­thing else. With joy you can make peo­ple around happy, you can make feel them good. An happy per­son also tend to have a bet­ter health than oth­ers. And joy brings energy!

Johnie C Stegall says

I think health because with health you have the time to develop the rest if you desire it enough. Spir­i­tu­al­ity was a very close sec­ond and I had a prob­lem decid­ing between the two. I am sure that Spir­i­tu­al­ity would have been first later in my spir­i­tual devel­op­ment.
Thank you for the courses you cre­ated for us.
I am using Quan­tum Jump­ing now, I have used it before in my dreams.
Johnie

George says

Although I des­per­ately need money at age 65 I had to select health.

What also mat­ters to me is hon­esty. The other day I received e-mail from some­one in your office who said she was doing some­thing behind your back that you didn’t know about (extend some offer or some­thing) and that upset me. I wrote her back and said I didn’t believe she was doing some­thing you didn’t know about if she was an employee or busi­ness part­ner and that I don’t like being lied to. No reply was received.

Pauline says

To feel our joy under­pins a healthy atti­tude to money, rela­tion­ships, beauty, pas­sion, energy, beauty and spir­i­tu­al­ity. It is the fer­tile ground in which all these things can flourish.

Mike Tovia says

Health

Larry says

Looks like I am in the minor­ity with this but I will say that read­ing all these responses was very inter­est­ing. I pretty much agree with Tony, above.…whatever you are lack­ing is what you want most. And great cases are made for each cat­e­gory because they are all impor­tant. To have all of them would be heaven on earth. Me?…I chose rela­tion­ships because I’m in a very lonely marraige.

Tesha says

I chose energy only because it seems to be what I am lack­ing the most of and money was the sec­ond run­ner up. Because of low energy I strug­gle a lot with get­ting out of the old pro­gram­ing and become lazy eas­ily. I lack moti­va­tion and would love to have the energy to focus my atten­tion into all the areas that I desire to cre­ate my life from. Mak­ing changes takes energy because of the need for con­sis­tant aware­ness. I meti­tate deeply every morn­ing but when I come out of it I am drained and have no energy. It seems I should have more energy but I am probly miss­ing some­thing. Thank you Burt for ask­ing about our truths.

Phung says

To choose any of these things is tough so I chose health because with­out it, none of these other things can be achievable.

Lisa says

Hi Burt,
I selected spir­i­tu­al­ity as my num­ber one choice. I believe that when I am at one with my authen­tic spirit ever­thing else falls into place as it should.

kira says

HEALTH is most impor­tant for me. With­out health noth­ing can be achieved.

David S says

I chose money, because I have been unem­ployed for a long time; the lack of money has been a major con­cern of mine lately. Money is not the most impor­tant thing in the world, but improv­ing my rela­tion­ship with money may per­haps shift things around for me. There are many things that are impor­tant to me; but per­haps the most impor­tant is devel­op­ing the rela­tion­ship with the divine within me; mak­ing the con­nec­tion with the true source of power that can lib­er­ate me from lack and limitation.

Ramilda says

Liv­ing is for the jour­ney toward enlightment.Each les­son learned brings us closer to that end. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is remem­ber­ing that goal.

Tom says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity gives Hope. Hope in one God.With God all things are pos­si­ble. Since our des­tiny is to finaly be with God then our hope should be to please Him and He will take care of all our other needs. Thanks Burt.

basma says

I always think that hav­ing a lov­ing man is the most impor­tant thing– but when I got sick 3 weeks ago– I think its health

Ken says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity to me is the begin­ning and end of every­thig, all other items on your list are tran­sient.
Quan­tum Jump­ing is fan­tas­tic by the way !

Dean says

Thank you in advance Burt for every­thing but I see it as a “trick ques­tion.” What areas mat­ter most? Areas is plural and most is sin­gu­lar?.?.?.
I’m guess­ing you asked a ques­tion as com­pli­cated as any of the answers and Life itself.
You are good and always make me think, maybe THAT is my answer; we all need to think more.….….….

Mary says

I picked Joy because we are going to need it to get through the com­ming era. Mind is the builder…we can respond how­ever we want to.

Jean says

I chose Joy. Hav­ing Joy in life encom­passes all. With Joy, our pas­sion and beauty is revealed. In a Joy­ful state we pro­duce great energy; which cre­ates healthy rela­tion­ships, good health and spir­i­tu­al­ity. The energy is then dis­played in a phys­i­cal form of money to con­tinue on our path of Being Joyful!

Gijs says

Hi Burt, I selected ‘Spir­i­tu­al­ity’ because with Spir­i­tu­al­ity all the other choises I had are auto­mat­i­cally covered.

Ramilda says

Our lives are for the jour­ney toward enlight­en­ment. As each les­son is com­pleted we are closer to that end. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the means to attain­ing it.

Larry Moore says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is for ever, the other areas are in this life time only

Roxanne Bohnow says

Health is a major con­cern for me mainly because seven mem­bers of my fam­ily have died from can­cer, and I really don’t want to die, I want to live forever.

Louise says

Hi Burt
Spir­i­tu­al­ity mat­ter most because we are spir­i­tual beings, and all phys­i­cal mat­ter is not real. But spir­i­tual gifts are, they are from the Cre­ator and we are blessed to dis­cover them. I believe it is our pur­pose to find them and use them to become co-creators.

Tammy says

I chose money because when you have it, you can relax enough to enjoy and per­sue the other things and not worry about what will become of your kids and parents.

Sharon says

I chose health, with health and strength you can work on the rest.

Thanks Burt

Brenda says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because that is who we really are…Spirit. Joy is also just as impor­tant. It is a qual­ity of Spirit.

steve says

Hi Burt!

actu­ally there are sev­eral top ones pas­sion, spir­i­tual,
health, money (abun­dance) and joy. I feel they all work together.Being ful­filled is our nature which includes all
of them.

Miriama says

kia ora Burt
What areas of my life mat­ters most to me?
To be honest,I don’t really know and yet human wise I would have to say all of the above. on the other hand I don’t know.
Which comes first above or below? Mmm­m­m­m­mmm this poses an inter­est­ing thought.If it is “As above so it is below” then what mat­ters most to me would be equi­lib­riam, bal­ance of this life and the life of the source. if this is the case then yes, every­thing that is writ­ten in the list above mat­ters, how­ever what or which would be the first step? the passion,the money or ????.Inter­est­ing, I see now where I am lean­ing to. It seems spir­i­tu­al­ity is my first port of call.To bring forth that part of me that is hid­den into this world, my world,for mine own whomever they maybe.
This has been a long journey.

john Bilek says

It is spirituality.It seems life in itself comes from spirit,and then returns to spirit(spirit is essence of life,and could not exist with­out it;)Our per­sonal life land­scape is cre­ated from our own energy,and ego that cre­ates all our sit­u­a­tions. So if you cre­ate a strong aware­ness of spirit,you know how to be,and then all good will fall in to place,from what­ever you want in the phys­i­cal world for your life.Thank You Burt for shar­ing the wis­dom to us!

Sandra says

Hi Burt,
I chose Health because with­out Health it makes it harder to enjoy the rest. I would really like you to teach us how to heal our­selves, so we can enjoy the other things in life.

Jim Reese says

With­out spir­i­tu­al­ity what is there?

Sandy says

I answered rela­tion­ships because with­out them I wouldn’t exist.

Joseph Kuyong says

For me the most impor­tant is “POSITIVE THINKING”. When you pos­sessed pos­i­tive think­ing in every­thing you do or desire you will some­how get it or man­i­fest your desire through pos­i­tive think­ing. The law of attrac­tion say you will attract what you think, if neg­a­tive you will attract neg­a­tive thing and vice versa.

Robert Gabler says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is my final goal because it is the only way to “heal the world”. But: health is the way, as it is not pos­si­ble to heal the world when you are dead!

Jeevan says

I believe the ulti­mate desire of every act is sat­is­fac­tion which i choose to say as joy.
The sat­is­fac­tion is derived from many small things we do most often with­out know­ing why we do/did it.

Eliane says

I believe that the spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant between all of them , since all our knowl­edge is in our spirit, all we need to know is there. So being able to enter this knowl­edge is what con­cerns me , since it will lift all the other areas into whole new dimen­sions. I seak per­fec­tion , and the only per­fect com­po­nent of me is my soul ‚i want to know it better.

Cheryl says

I chose money because money ‘makes the world go round”!

todd saed says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, because that was the path begun forty years ago to sur­vive and be healthy, and it is a chal­lenge, can help loved ones, and it is the duty , to be your Self

jacob says

Dear Burt

My choice is health. Every­thing else in life depends on health. You may earn money and you may not have the health to use or enjoy it. You may want to be joy­ous but your health may not sup­port you. If you have health you have the greater part of your wealth, be it spir­i­tual, men­tal, pas­sion­ate, intel­lec­tual, phys­i­cal, finan­cial, etc. Phys­i­cal, neu­ro­log­i­cal, psy­cho­log­i­cal and var­i­ous other types of ill­nessess are enough to blight one’s life. This is why I accord the most impor­tance to health. Even if you want to go to church and pray and fast, you need good health.

Regards

P J Abraham

Doris says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it is the source of all of the other things mentioned.

Roberto says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because if that is right all the rest is right.

vandana says

Hi Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because we are spir­i­tual beings in our essence, and spir­i­tu­al­ity is a way of express­ing our con­nec­tion to a higher energy, higher real­ity. if our spir­i­tual self is ener­gised, all desir­able attrib­utes of our lives in this world fol­low auto­mat­i­cally. As it is, when souls trans­mi­grate, its the sam­skara, or the learn­ing of your soul, that goes with the soul; all other qual­i­ties of this world stay here itself. ‘hom sau’.. thou are that.. timelessly..

Nita says

hi burt,
I chose rela­tion­ships. I feel the bond between a mother and child is so very pre­cious and the most ful­fill­ing in the world. What is the use of wealth and money if you do not have a child on whom to shower it on .Then again, every­thing ingre­di­ent in the dish imparts a dis­tinct fla­vor. All the ingre­di­ents which you have men­tioned are very essen­tial in hav­ing a totally ful­filled life,if only we under­stand how much to use and in what sit­u­a­tions to use it in.…

bernard p j says

Sorry sir.
If it is reg­is­tered under my name,than it could be a slip. Acci­dently I might have clicked the but­ton twice.
Bernard

Arthienyer L. Fraser says

I selected Spir­i­tu­al­ity because it aligns quite well with “Peace of Mind,” and that is how I live my life. I beleive if more folks cared about their spirit, the world would be a much hap­pier place to live in.

Lorraine Martin says

I choose health and because I am healthy I have a very healthy belief in all the other areas. The one area, though I am con­cen­trat­ing on now is wealth. This is my focus. I read, lis­ten, to all the lessons from you. My medi­a­tion tech­niques are improv­ing and I am delighted that this is hap­pen­ing. Thank you for com­ing into my life. Lorraine

DM says

Hello, Burt!
This was a very close call… it came down to Spir­i­tu­al­ity or Energy. In the end, I chose Energy, because I believe that is the basis of every­thing we are and every­thing that exists. We can learn to con­trol our Energy and shape our lives and our out­looks — thus the tie to Spir­i­tu­al­ity. As you con­tinue to teach me, direct­ing my Energy in a pos­i­tive way is the foun­da­tion for a Pos­i­tive Life. And in a Pos­i­tive Life, all other attrib­utes flow naturally.

Abun­dant bless­ings to you, Burt — thank you for giv­ing so much!

Susan says

Hello Burt,

I do not ulways under­stand why I have all the things men­tioned on your list and bat­tle to man­i­fest money for my daily bread. I believe that ‘spir­i­tu­al­ity’ will offer me more insight into where I am going wrong and what pos­i­tive beliefs I should focus on regard­ing the man­i­fes­ta­tion of ‘money’. Fur­ther­more the lack of money has a neg­a­tive spir­i­tual effect on me because it robs me of pas­sion and joy and I often times find myself depressed because my lower level hyrar­chy of needs arn’t met. I look for­ward to your answers.

Michelle says

Since I could only choose one, I chose money. My close sec­ond is health… but right now, with the econ­omy, my age, chil­dren going to col­lege… money is impor­tant in order to do what needs to be done.

mary says

I chose pas­sion. Pos­i­tive pas­sion. A strong emo­tion filled with energy. Pas­sion for life or a selected career brings feel­ings of joy, love, hap­pi­ness, you see beauty every­where you go, you feel healthy, there­fore you are healthy, pas­sion to know more about your­self leads you to a richer under­stand­ing of spir­i­tual pos­si­bil­i­ties. Rela­tion­ships become stronger and money will always come at the right time when a good jolt of pas­sion and faith work together. Let’s give a round of applause for Passion!!

Shan says

Money should be your priority.When you have a lot of money then you can full­fill your desire.You can enjoy yourself.

ann says

JOY of course! If you have joy, you’ll prob­a­bly have all the rest also …

bernard p j says

Joy comes with every­thing indi­cated.
money brings joy.
health brings joy.
beauty brings joy.
rela­tion­ship brings joy.
spritu­al­ity brings joy
energy brings joy.
pas­sion ends in joy.

This is my one and only entry.Should any other carry the same name and e-mail or is forg­ing under my name I can’t????

bernard p j says

Joy comes with every­thing indi­cated.
money brings joy.
health brings joy.
beauty brings joy.
rela­tion­ship brings joy.
spritu­al­ity brings joy
energy brings joy.
pas­sion ends in joy.

I chose rela­tion­shps … with self, a higher power, my hus­band, my chil­dren, my friends and fam­ily. With­out a rela­tion­ship with myself and my higher power, the rest wouldn’t be possible.

Rose says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity. With­out God there is noth­ing else that counts. God should be our source for all the other aspects of our life. I know God can sup­ply, I need to recieve. That is what I am work­ing on right now. Rose

Ann-kathrine says

Thank you Dear Burt,

You are a won­der­ful soul and I am so great­ful to you for all the effort you do to all of us in this uni­verse…
You made my day again…, with your gen­eros­ity and kind­ness. I feel a warm peace­full­ness deep in my heart.

We can choose any feel­ing we like in the moment, or what is more impor­tant to us right now…, it is all up to our selves.
The most impor­tant thing is that it comes from our own inner truth which includes all there is.

Thank you for your lovely (((energy)))

Love, Light & Peace
Ann-kathrine

Rod Leech says

I chose Spir­i­tu­al­ity since with­out spirit the body will die…so that should come first. The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, long suf­fer­ing, kind­ness, mild­ness, good­ness, faith and self-control. Hav­ing these qual­i­ties will assist you in gain­ing more of every­thing you need and want in life. Hav­ing improved your own spir­i­tu­al­ity will give you the right motive to help oth­ers to do the same, expand­ing the other areas of their life which are also impor­tant such as health, wealth and so on. I thank you Burt for this sur­vey and I hope you will help our friend Terry Baker out!

Jeremiah says

I chose rela­tion­ships (specif­i­cally I mean a person’s rela­tion­ship with Jesus Christ). With­out a right rela­tion­ship with the Son of God, your life is mean­ing­less and will only result in eter­nal punishment.

Florina says

Joy is the ulti­mate trea­sure hid­den within us. Joy makes beau­ti­ful, loved, healthy and rich! It is our God given right along with the “free­dom of choice”; mine is to always feel the joy of liv­ing. I just wish I were stronger, so I could feel joy in every moment of my life!

Jane says

It’s hard to choose since all parts is every­thing , the whole, ig there is a breach in one these spheres it influ­ence the rest and vice versa. If you are not healthy , you can’t really enjoy life even if you have plenty of money , of course ail­ment destroys beauty, if there is a lack of pas­sion , your rela­tion­ship won’t last long and not be ful­fill­ing ; with­out spir­i­tu­al­ity life can seem sense­less etc. Qual­ity of my life started get­ting bet­ter with find­ing of spir­i­tu­al­ity, and sense came with it also.

Vins says

If there is joy,that means we have the rest of the things also to some extent.

Jerrolyn says

Joy is most impor­tant to me. All of my life I have been very neg­a­tive and angry. I believe it made me ugly, yet I could do noth­ing about my behav­ior. I took med­ica­tion, ther­apy and bored all of my friends with my prob­lems. I just want to be happy and feel the joy of liv­ing. I con­cen­trated on money, health and love all of those failed me. With an atti­tude of self loathing suc­cess evaided me in work and love. I have excel­lent health so If I were a happy, Joy­ful per­son I know my life would be 100% better.

Marian says

I fil in Pas­sion, because years long in know what my pas­sion is but i didn’t do enought whit it. Sinds i do I feel bet­ter, healthy, have energy, en feel bet­ter and bet­ter every day!

Charlotte says

Burt, I have cho­sen health if I had the choice of pick­ing all of them I would. Since it is really about hav­ing a bal­ance in all areas of life and lov­ing all parts of your­self and life. I wanted to men­tion I have got­ten your Quan­taum Jump­ing cd’s after lis­ten­ing serveral times to them I am get­ting it! Thank you for shar­ing. Namaste’ Charlotte

PS. Wanted to share with you Burt and your audi­ence about a won­der­ful botan­i­cal drink that I take.Pure and full of antiox­i­dents called EXFUZE, my web­site is http://www.iexfuze.net/palmerbewell. Bless­ings.

Neil says

I chose money, with out it, it just keeps my fam­ily mad because I will not buy every­thing they want. My wife is always mad, my son wants to stay in his apart­ment after he finish’s school next week. And I could save my business.

I should have said Spir­i­tu­al­ity because in find­ing our own indi­vid­ual self spir­i­tu­al­ity we can reach every­thing else. With all the books, ebooks, and every­one like Burt, Laura, Joe and down the line I lis­ten to and read when get­ting into that state of being I will bring about every­thing else. It is clear­ing my mind, & heart of all the neg­a­tiv­ity and hope­less­ness that will change my life. I have to trust and believe in myself to reach greater things and to let go of things and move to the next. I am work­ing on this all this week every­thing I have cre­ated is at steak.

Sg says

Hi Burt

I choose rela­tion­ship since (a) Almost every­thing can be accom­plished with rich rela­tion­ships (b) who will you share every­thing with if you don’t have relationships?

Rita Woodward says

I picked Joy because I feel if we can keep our vibra­tions up and feel the “Joy” our lives will be in a much bet­ter place, more often, in all areas of our lives.

Bruce says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity — because what is a man prof­ited if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? This is the first thought that popped into my mind which is a bit ironic as I am a Buddhist.

Merrideth says

All have a mea­sure of impor­tance but with­out love there is noth­ing.
How­ever hav­ing said that, from the list pro­vided I chose rela­tion­ships, par­tic­u­larly to self, because I know that the best any­one can do for another is to nuture self first.
What we own we can freely give. Then if what has been given is received, there is the gift.

James Cranfield says

I chose Joy, because I feel joy in any of those things seems pos­si­ble, but joy, because its most wel­come sen­ti­ment of expres­sion to share and radiate.

Sim­ple joy in face of any­thing, sim­ple joy!

PAMELA says

AND THIS TO SHALL PASS

PAMELA says

SPIRTUILITY BECAUSE IT IS MY GOAL TO CONECT WITH MY SOURCE

Nadira says

If love were a choice,i would have cho­sen love!

Its all about relativity!Nothing makes sense with­out relationship.Life itself is mean­ing­full when you share.

JACQUELINE says

With­out energy there is no means or desire to achieve any­thing. Every­thing seems dif­fi­cult and insur­mount­able. Every­thing is and has energy — even money — so I believe it is the most impor­tant fac­tor in life.

asha says

dear Burt, all are actu­ally inter­re­lated but still i would say JOY because i find joy in what­ever con­di­tion GOD has kept me it doesnt mat­ter
thanks
asha awsare

John says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity as this brings with it the aware­ness and the abil­ity to achieve the very best of all of the other qual­i­ties listed.

Brian says

I say pas­sion. If you have that fire, it gives you a rea­son to get up in the morn­ing and use all these won­der­ful tools that are now avail­able to obtain the things that are lack­ing in your life. Even if you are in poor health, you can change it if the desire is there.
Even if you are old and wish your life had been bet­ter, if your toes are still tap­pin’ you can do some­thing about it. My biggest inspi­ra­tion has been that I have the power to change me. If I just lie there and do noth­ing, noth­ing good is going to happen.

Roxana says

Hello,

I choose rela­tion­ships because I think is for no use to only love your­self. Every­thing is love and with­out pure love I don’t know if spir­i­tu­al­ity can grow. I don’t think so.

Rox­ana

Russ says

There must be a spir­i­tual ele­ment in every­thing we do. Even if we are not aware of it, it col­ors the rest of our lives from that point on. Kind of like the guilt trip you cover in your 7 lessons. A lit­tle dif­fer­ent per­haps. One drop of ink in a gal­lon of water doesn’t change it much, but add one drop every­time you do some­thing you believe is wrong in some fash­ion! Soon that gal­lon of wat­ter is as dark as the ink that col­lors it. Per­son­ally, my water is pretty dark. For some time now I’ve been adding Oxy-Clean try­ing to get it cleaned up. (Poor metaphore, but it works for me)

Julien says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity allows one to know the rules to the game of life. Know­ing the rules gives you the oppor­tu­nity to win faster than by sim­ple trial and error.

Ahmed says

Health is the base to enjoy all other areas of life.

Abraham says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant thing. Jesus Christ said: “Seek first the king­dom of God and all the other things will be added unto you. ( Things = Work, pas­sion, joy, health,love, rela­tion­ships, thinks, anything)And this is a a proven and higher truth!

charleyn says

With­out spir­i­tu­al­ity my life would be fear­ful and mean­ing­less. Years ago I might have answered dif­fer­ently. For some of us it takes years to begin to ques­tion and search for answers. I have found the words spo­ken in the ‘Book’ ” Seek and you will find” so true. It is hard to express my feel­ings of won­der­ment and joy that I have found within my spirituality.

Linda says

Noth­ing is more impor­tant for me than the love I feel that is in every­thing. It is there in the cre­ation and the cre­ator is watch­ing. There­fore, spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant to me. Imag­ine if we can all visu­al­ize this love and include every­one and every­thing as a part of our­selves. What a beau­ti­ful world!
With love to all
Linda

Nat says

I picked Spir­i­tu­al­ity because I’m deep enough into Bud­dhism to know that it’s the basis of the “good” life.

But at any given moment, any of the oth­ers seem paramount.

Yeah, I have a ways to go. I’ve take but the first few baby steps of a long, but fas­ci­nat­ing and reward­ing journey.

Chant says

Free­dom, is impor­tant! unfor­tu­natly I expe­ri­enced decep­tion & manip­u­la­tion & oppres­sion and other stuff I can’t men­tion; it’s non-constructive ( I apol­o­gize to myself and oth­ers whom suf­fered from my weak­ness ‚fears,etc…) one does not need to be a drug addict or an alco­holic to be weak. One can sim­ply try to be; one­self, if the parental unit got seri­ous in not allow­ing 1 of theirs to grow free, that parental unit is unfor­giv­ing, & rich, watch out! Amaz­ing how many go to the high­est bid­der. FREEDOM TO BE with morals, compassion,and lov­ingkind­ness can you imag­ine the human­ity. Liv­ing free . I still hope.

Victor Adaramola says

Money is very impor­tant to me because,it not the root of evil, but the source of good thing in life.The way you aquire the money is the deter­min fac­tor. When you are rich, most peo­ple will have peace of mind.
As an African man you have to be able to suport your fam­ily before you can comand respect in the fam­ily.
In Churches, Mosque and name it among the religous group, more atten­tion is pay to those with money. For the fact that you have fat bank acct. you have peace of mind right there. When you are rich, you have access to what some peo­ple con­sider luxury,when have money , you don’t have to wait for any assis­tance from any Gov­ern­ment before you see your Doctor.when you have peace of mind all your body organ will be in be per­fect work­ing other.
Thanks

John Sandoz says

With­out health the other things are very dif­fi­cult to fully appre­ci­ate regard­less of what we say.

marion says

I chose health, because with­out good health, most of the other items are dif­fi­cult — if not impos­si­ble — to either achieve or appreciate.

George says

Because of my my health and age, my needs are health and energy to accom­plish the finan­cial goals to ease my wife’s future years.

Rick says

Hi Burt

I chose money, Why so I can stop trav­el­ling four hours

a day to work.I need a change of lifestyle.

dona;d says

Hi Burt,

My vote is for Joy because this makes all the other choices sec­ondary. If one is con­stantly joy­ful & happy, any other ‘con­di­tion’ that you have (ill health, low energy, etc) won’t mat­ter (because you would always be happy)!

Siv Skjønberg says

I chose joy, because when you are in joy all the other things are flot­ing and spir­i­tu­al­ity is joy.

Chris says

I feel that Pas­sion, Joy, Health and Spir­i­tu­al­ity are hard to seper­ate.
Pas­sion and Joy may come from Spirit and I feel Pas­sion for Life is required to be Healthy.
Money on the other hand seems to require Energy. Are the oth­ers qual­i­ties of Energy?
Is Energy where it all starts? Or Pas­sion or Spirit?? I don’t know!

Mauricio says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity because this is the source, every­thing else will be the con­se­quence.
With­out Spir­i­tu­al­ity every­thing you do isn´t real.

bkjagadish says

i ‘ve selected PASSION …as with­out which what­ever ese you might be hav­ing will be vir­tu­ally of no use…

Brenda Poulsen says

Hi Burt

I couldn’t answer because what is most impor­tant to me is love. Doesn’t have to be for any spe­cific per­son but to live with love in your heart for all that is is the most important.

By ‘all’ I mean all liv­ing crea­tures, as well as our trees and rocks and sun­rises and sun­sets and the rain and the snow and the beauty in in all. I could go on but I am sure you under­stand what I mean.

And we have to have love for our­self. With­out love you have noth­ing. Doesn’t mat­ter about how much money you have or how much drive and pas­sion or how good your health is. As John Lennon said, “Love is all there is.”

Robin says

Rela­tion­ships
To me this entails all the rest with­out a good rela­tion­ship with your­self
Health has no moti­va­tion or rea­son
Money has no value or pur­pose
Pas­sion has no direc­tion
Spir­i­tu­al­ity is all about your rela­tion­ships with your god and every­one else
Joy is the abil­ity to rec­og­nize the rewards of the com­bi­na­tion of the all items on the pre­vi­ous list

Skye says

If you are healthy you can do any of the oth­ers I know I have back injury

Isabella says

My option was joy, because I think when yu are joy­ful every­thing else comes like a com­ple­ment: healh, wealth, love. Is like a mag­net for all pos­i­tive things. Fur­ther­more I believe joy and spir­i­tu­al­lity are one, cen not be joy with­out spirituallity .

Victoria says

Every­thing is Energy, all things reside in this field of all pos­si­bil­i­ties, it is our matrix. When I tap in to the flow of energy, let­ting go of resis­tance, I am Cre­ation. I Gen­er­ate Orga­nize Deliver any result I desire or require. In align­ment, I am capa­ble of any out­come. With­out aware­ness or focus within the energy field, I have no basis for anything.

Philip says

I choose joy because with joy within me I can do all things for myself and also for all people.

Deb Starr says

I selected Joy as the most impor­tant. If a spirit in form is in joy, then all the blocks have been cleared and ego is quiet and joy comes for­ward to share with the world. Joy allows us to serve those on our path. Joy comes from within, and that means we are as clear a ves­sel as pos­si­ble to do our work on this planet.

Amy Jo says

Joy! At the moments that you are stand­ing firmly in Joy… Every­thing else feels exactly right.
Then the law of attrac­tion pulls to you more things for you to feel joy­ful about and TADAH!! You’re liv­ing a life of pas­sion, health, spir­i­tual grat­i­tude and abun­dance.
Find­ing Joy in all things is a very good thing.

Mais316 says

Spir­tu­al­ity is most impor­tant to me. It is the “other side’, much big­ger and pro­found than our every­day lives.
And of course money is impor­tant to sus­tain us while we liv­ing on this planet. Espe­cially in a devel­oped country.

jocelyn says

I picked RELATIONSHIPS — I feel my life is bereft of fun at the moment and time is run­ning out!!

Tricia says

I found this dif­fi­cult to choose just one. The log­i­cal side of me said it has to be health but with joy and spir­i­tu­al­ity you will have health and prob­a­bly all the other options as well.
Tricky ques­tion Burt. Can’t wait to read what comes next.
Thank you!

Marcia says

If you are 100% healthy, I believe you have acquired a high state of enlight­en­ment, thus by being in this state, you are in a bet­ter posi­tion to achieve goals and gen­er­ally attract what you want in life.

Selim says

My answer is health
I am a doc­tor an I have seen a lot of wealthy peo­ple who are spend­ing alot of money on health. Whereas I have seen a lot of healty peo­ple try­ing to gain money while loos­ing their health.
To me im the ‘west­ern world’ which is north amer­ica and europe, peo­ple see the hap­pi­ness through money. This is not the­case elsewhwere.I taveled around the world and seen a lot of peo­ple with­outany­thing includ­ing a house of their own or fur­ni­ture but they were happy. As long as they have health they were happy.
It is said that spir­i­tu­al­ity can pro­vide you every­thing you need. To go on that road you have to sac­ri­fice a lot of time it seems. But again it is only in the west­ern world.
If we live accord­ing to what we want from this world there is always welth and health hand in hand beside us.
I hope all of us can reach that “level” by sim­ply lov­ing what we do and doing what we love
Enjoy your life, be great­ful to what you have and will have, the rest will come to you as you wish.

Maxi says

I selected spitu­tu­al­ity cos with this I will sure be healthy, wealthy and happy with every thing that I desire.

jimmy says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because it is the source of all things, money health…etc

Catherine says

For me there is no life with­out pas­sion. I am a songwriter/singer, and a chi­ro­prac­tor. Music is my first pro­fes­sion. I became a chi­ro­prac­tor to make money, but after a while I started to see that there is no joy in hav­ing money with­out shar­ing my pre­cious gift of music, and my beau­ti­ful voice. I like chi­ro­prac­tic, and help­ing patients, but I LOVE music. For a few years after chi­ro­prac­tic school I did not play music, and started to feel com­pletely dead inside. At this point I am com­plet­ing my sec­ond CD, and per­form­ing. It is the great­est feel­ing in the world to do what you are meant to do.

Louise says

Well, to me health is num­ber one pri­or­ity, becuase if I am not healthy my mind doesn’t think clearly so when I try to med­i­tate it just doesnt seem right.. then I think spir­i­tu­al­ity is impor­tant becuase with that it gives you joy, pas­sion and every­thing else falls in place.. hope­fully the money will come with it all. I have been laid off and really pray­ing that things will truly fall into place

Louise

Freda says

Hi Burt, Healthis impor­tant to me,not lontg agomy hus­band of 55 years passed­away very sud­denly. He had 7doctors look­ing after him in hos­pi­tal, and not one of these spe­cial­ists who exam­ined him every day for18 days found out that his aor­tavalve in his heart could stop in one sec­ond whichit did. So with out hhealth one has noth­ing.
Wealth,beauty,passion hap­pi­ness isall around us every day. The­beau­tyof the tree, the love of birds singing, not being hun­gry and most of all­be­ing ALIVE to asknoowledge, learn and appre­ci­ate what wehave been blessed with­for free, and with the good supreme being that watches over us giv­ing good health to be able to ben­e­fit from these gifts.

Carolann says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with­out faith in God, you feel lost. My rela­tion­ship with God keeps me going because I know he wants me to learn what I need to learn for my high­i­est good.

cindy says

I sat one day pon­der­ing this and it sud­denly came to me…passion…PASS I ON. To pass the “I “of me out into the world. When you do the rest are ful­filled.
Now lets see how this gets passed around the world.…PASS I ON.…..LOL

lubna says

Hi Burt,

I chose Money as every­thing else is more or less in place i.e. Spir­i­tu­al­ity, Joy, Beauty and so on! How­ever, Money is the energy that makes the world go round with this essen­tial item! What hap­pi­ness can a per­son have on an empty stom­ach? what Beauty? what Joy? what Spirituality?

What every I need to carry out in my life requires money, i.e. if I wanted to expand my knowl­edge, I need money to pay the mentors!!!

Every­thing boils down to money!

Patrick says

Joy is the state achieved when every­thing else is in proper balance.

Jan says

I selected joy because it is only pos­si­ble when I allow most things that don’t mean much to fall away. Then it appears to come bub­bling up! When I feel it, I feel abun­dance beyond mea­sure and am con­tent with my life.

joe says

With out great health none of the other top­ics matter..if you don’t feel well or have chronic health issues it changes your life.

Ardee says

P.S. I am a very healthy per­son and am eter­nally grate­ful for that; I can’t even express in words the grat­i­tude I feel for my health…now I NEED money!!!! ;D

Pedro says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity. With it I can achieve all oth­ers. Thank you.

Terry Baker says

I have put wealth because being a 73 yesr old man I can ill afford pay­ment for CDs that are faulty and after many requests for replace­ments, are totally ignored. Can­not be both­ered to reply to my e-mails.
Sadly dis­al­lu­sioned with Burt and com­pany.

steve says

hello burt enlight­en­ment for me to became one­ness one with all things there is a long way to go but from the spark will came the flame.

Ardee says

I chose “Health” because when you have your health, you have EVERYTHING. Just ask a des­per­ately ill per­son or even some­one who’s “sickly” all the time.

Carli says

I choose pas­sion. I believe with­out this it’s extremely dif­fi­cult to muster the drive to move in the direc­tion in which one truly wants to go. All other areas are left behind with­out pas­sion as dull­ness takes over.

erwin says

I choose ENERGY. With ENERGY I can do every­thing, be any­thing and go any where.

bandy says

Being joy­ful one feels one is liv­ing a bal­anced and peace­ful life.

Abdullah Rudolf Smit says

I choose health not only in the phys­i­cal sense but in the emo­tional and spir­i­tual areas too. The choices you give us are all related. So it doesn’t mat­ter to me. When I am healthy in all those senses then I have energy, pas­sion, rela­tion­ships, money and so on.

Nellian says

Hi Burt,
Energy is part of every­thing, which means that every­thing else is linked. Even money is energy, you need LOTS of energy for good rela­tion­ships, you need energy to be joy­ful, etc. etc. Spir­i­tu­al­ity goes hand in hand with energy because it is all about energy — this fact made energy my choice. Enjoy your day!

Shelley says

Joy is nec­es­sary to get up every day and see the pos­si­bil­i­ties in front of me. It fuels healthy eat­ing (with­out resent­ment), exer­cise, the leav­ing behind of addic­tions like smok­ing, study, love, spir­i­tu­al­ity, beauty and pas­sion. With­out joy we are sleep-walking through life.

George Redei says

If you are sick you are in your way to the tomb.
You can­not make money, love or any­thing else.
So health and fit­ness are the first more impor­tant things we need.
Of course I was not think­ing on minor ilnesses

Jude says

Quite a dif­fi­cult ques­tion to answer with just one of the many answers.…Is there even a sin­gu­lar answer.…are we not way to com­plex?!! My heart­felt spon­tan­ious answer was pas­sion though.…I need pas­sion to have my rela­tion­ships, pas­sion for spirituality…it’s pas­sion that dri­ves me towards the var­i­ous goals that I have, a pas­sion to be a health­ier bet­ter per­son, I need to feel a pas­sion for the work that I do in order to make the money I need/want to survive.…a pas­sion to see the beauty, even in a thun­der­struck sky. Pas­sion for me is a Joy! Pas­sion is a spir­i­tual energy.…;) !!!!!

Lars says

Doing what I like to do, being happy with what I’m doing, that’s the most impor­tant thing to me. With this comes all the other things automatically.

lt says

Joy encom­passes all of the oth­ers. I am joy­ful when I have a strong spir­i­tual under­stand­ing, when I am pas­sion­ate about my work, com­pas­sion­ate in my rela­tion­ships, lov­ing, healthy enough to live another day, have enough money to feel secure, and when I am grate­ful that life is beau­ti­ful. I can live joy­fully even when I may not have much money, or per­fect health, or a not so beau­ti­ful envi­ron­ment to live in, or if I’m alone.

Donna says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity, hands down. We need to be in touch with who we really are, in order to man­i­fest any of the other things in our lives. We need to be in tune with our higher consciousness.…our God Self.…We are part of God you know.…and ALL OF US ARE PART OF “all that is”…Which we need to KNOW, in order to be able to truly uti­lize the infor­ma­tion that Burt is shar­ing with us.

angie says

Hi Burt,
I choose money as a tool for obtain­ing my desires, not as of being rich, which a belief will after­wards obvi­ously be a con­se­quence!
Have a nice day! Read you soon, Angie

Rita says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because if I am con­nected with my inner source, I can achieve all things I want.

Terese says

I chose joy because joy is the expres­sion of love from the core of our being which radi­ates out into our phys­i­cal real­ity through eter­nity or infin­ity and back rais­ing our vibra­tions and allow­ing more peo­ple to expe­ri­ence it.

Nancy says

Hi Burt,

It’s Pas­sion. It’s the dri­ving force behind who we want to be, do and have.
It’s the pas­sion to be beau­ti­ful that guides us take care of our appear­ance.
It’s the pas­sion to live with energy and vital­ity that guides us eat, think and move for energy.
It’s the pas­sion to live a finan­cially abun­dant life that guides us to chose the actions that will bring us the abun­dance.
It’s the pas­sion to have a ful­fill­ing, roman­tic, and nur­tur­ing rela­tion­ship that guides us to chose our part­ner and makes us behave in a way to achieve that rela­tion­ship.
It’s the pas­sion to have vibrant and breath­tak­ing health that guides us to eat and think and move con­sciously.
It’s the pas­sion to live in joy that guides us to habits that will cre­ate that joy.
It’s the pas­sion to live in con­nec­tion with the Uni­verse, and All That Is that guides us to breath and think and act spiritually.

My thoughts…!

Michael says

Energy. Learn­ing to freely and cre­atively use energy. Learn­ing to use energy for my high­est good will enable me to have all the other choices and achieve my true pur­pose in this life.

Amsale says

I chose sprituality,because if I have inner peace Iwill have everything.

Kerrie says

Burt: To me it’s all about joy…how can we cre­ate any­thing pos­i­tive in our lives with­out a base in grat­i­tude and joy? To me every­thing fol­lows from that…

lincoln ong says

hi burt…it was hard to choose..but i decided on pas­sion because lov­ing what i do influ­ence every­thing else…

margo says

They are all part of each other but Spir­i­tu­al­ity for me is the basis of all the oth­ers. With­out the integrity of spir­i­tu­al­ity I find the oth­ers lack some­thing. Thanks Burt

Dafid says

When I saw the list on your email I imme­di­ately ordered them as health, hap­pi­ness, rela­tion­ships and money the addi­tion of another four does not change this and my rea­son for choos­ing them in this order is based on my abil­ity fo change them. I can do more about a lack of money or rela­tion­ships than I couild about a gen­eral lack of health

Kathleen says

I chose Joy, because when I am joy­ful I have Health and Money, and if I don’t have money I can usu­ally think of a way to enjoy what I do have.

Ramona says

Good Morn­ing Burt,
I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because enlight­en­ment, or awak­en­ing to the true real­ity has been the most impor­tant thing for me all of my life. The more you awaken the less you have prob­lems and issues. So that’s my 2 cents.

Dermuid says

I have picked spir­i­tu­al­ity because it has been a con­stant search since child­hood, when weekly vis­its to the local library to get cow­boy books for my grand­dad I was drawn to books on yoga, east­ern phi­los­o­phy and out –of– body expe­ri­ences etc. Now as I’m in my 65th year I’m still as intrigued as ever in the search for spir­i­tual peace.

Sakina Shikari says

For me spir­i­tu­al­ity means the most.In the past two years i’ve went through lots of tri­als and tribu­la­tions in my life,but one thing which pulled me out of my ordeal and kept me going was the spirituality.The whole idea of get­ting con­nected with my Higher self and in know­ing that I’am always sur­rounded by His immense love,nothing gives me more joy in my life.If spir­i­tu­al­ity pre­vails in your life then it doesn’t mat­ter if your bank bal­ance is nearly zero, but your life would be bal­anced and what­ever you have will be suf­fi­cient because no money can buy the inner peace and the absence of peace of mind is the root cause of all the problems.

Tanya says

I chose health. Because with­out it, you can­not do the things you want to do in life, some­times bad health can hin­der your prospects of achiev­ing the spir­i­tu­al­ity that one desires.

Kim Eagles says

Hi Burt,
I choose Joy as I think after really con­sid­er­ing it, that is what is at the base of all we attract in life (money, health, wealth, etc). If I am joy­ful I feel grat­i­tude for my life and attract more joy into it.
It is by feel­ing joy every­day no mat­ter what is going on in your life and in the world, that we attract more great things, by being grate­ful I feel the joy.

Maria M says

Burt… My “answer” is not included in your list. I would say “grat­i­tude” is the key to every­thing. Even if your cur­rent cir­cum­stances are truly mis­er­able, you can always find some­thing in your life, or in nature, to be grate­ful for. We’re con­stantly sur­rounded by mir­a­cles but an ungrate­ful heart fails to see them. Once you fill your heart and mind with grat­i­tude, you leave fear behind and life becomes a truly fan­tas­tic and blessed adventure!

miekke says

Of course health, rela­tion­ships, money… it is all impor­tant. But I learned that our energy deter­mines how we are doing in life. When our energy is high, when we feel our­selves ener­getic and great, we will attract all the things that are ‘great’ to expe­ri­ence. That means thus the good health, the warm rela­tion­ships and abun­dance…
There­fore it is my wish and my con­cerne to stay as much as pos­si­ble in a high energy-vibration.

Yours sin­cerely,
Miekke
Belgium

Erika says

Well, health is the start. If you are healthy you can progress in other area of lives.

Ron says

I selected money because that with it i would be able to help many peo­ple & that would make me very happy

Doris says

I would choose good health because that is what I lack. I already have a pas­sion for life, enough money for my needs, good rela­tion­ships, joy in liv­ing, a rela­tion­ship with my Cre­ator. Beauty is only fleet­ing and not as impor­tant though I do see it every­where. And, energy would increase with good health.

Mike says

I chose joy and pas­sion, with­out them in your life the rest are meanningless.

Frank says

I would have liked to check off all of the above but have to set­tle for health. For with­out it the rest is not very enjoy­able or for some of the items even pos­si­ble if your feel­ing mis­er­able all the time.

Ron says

Energy, because every­thing is ulti­mately made of it

Andrea says

Joy is the most impor­tant to me.When in a state of joy every­thing falls into place as you need them and there is always more going on to bring about more joy.

Ruza says

Why Money, It seems now days lot of peo­ple includ­ing myself are loos­ing valu­able energy and time and health work­ing very hard but get­tinng nowhere. All the best, Ruza

A. Nandakumaar says

Joy is an out­come of all the other require­ments of life being met, wholly; hence it indi­cates com­plete­ness in life.

Tony says

Hi Burt,

Thats a dif­fi­cult ques­tion because, if some­one has good health, has good rela­tion­ships etc BUT lacks and needs ‘money’, they are going to put money as the answer.

If some­one has all the money [or enough], has good health etc BUT lacks, wants and needs a rela­tion­ship, they are going to put rela­tion­ship as the answer.

What­ever some­one lacks, they are going to want it.

Then again some­one may need and want money, but they may put ‘health’ as the answer think­ing that with­out health you can­not do and enjoy the money.

Hav­ing said all that, I put ‘money’ because I have every­thing else. It’s the last bit of the jig­saw that will com­plete the pic­ture for me. Prob­lem is this,

I have been try­ing to make a lot of money for 25 years and I’m still try­ing [really sad I know] and I will die try­ing. But,

This is start­ing now to put a strain on my rela­tion­ship [because I have been get­ting nowhere with a busi­ness to make money for so long]. So I might soon have to put both ‘money’ and ‘rela­tion­ship’ as the answer!

It’s who you know or who knows you isn’t it?.

Any­way I’m tens­ing my head and shoul­ders and visu­al­is­ing money com­ing to me, wish me luck

regards

Retnam says

Hi Burt,

The rea­son why health is most impor­tant is that if one doesn’t have good health , the oth­ers doesn’t mat­ter e.g. all the money in the world is irelavant.

Bye the way I am still wait­ing for a response from you which I had sent at least twice pre­vi­ously i.e.as a Forex Trader who wants to be suc­cess­ful which pro­gram would you rec­om­mend I shoud buy, Mind Box or Quan­tum Jump­ing.
Best Regards
Retnam

Patricia says

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity because we are spir­i­tual beings hav­ing a human expe­ri­ence and if we are spir­i­tual we can achieve so much more in all aspects of our sojourn on this earth which is ulti­mately so short in com­par­i­son to the eter­nity in which our spir­its exist.

Olive says

Even though most fac­tors are impor­tant (except for beauty… what is that one doing there?), I voted for rela­tion­ships. I value my fam­ily and friends very much and recently got a brief taste of the joy of shar­ing my life with the man I con­sider to be my soul­mate. Hav­ing lost that, I dis­cov­ered how hard it is to reclaim a life with­out that spe­cial per­son who shares your joys and sor­rows. So good Rela­tion­ships are IT for me.

Anne says

While health is most impor­tant over­all, because with­out health you can’t enjoy any­thing else, I’m choos­ing money for this one and here’s why. I’m lucky to have my health, but it’s going fast, because I never have time to relax. Work brings me money to pay the bills and the debts, but I can’t take time off to enjoy any­thing or relax because that will jeop­ar­dize my job… I also don’t have resources to do any­thing beyond pay for bills and neces­si­ties. I often think that money equals free­dom to enjoy the kind of life I want. Peo­ple say time is money, but to me Money = Time to build and share every­thing else on your list.

Anne

Chip Berning says

I say “J0Y” since my under­stand­ing of the Law of Attrac­tion is that “feel­ing good NOW” is my prime purpose/focus/objective — if I “feel good NOW”, I will get what I want in life.

Liam says

To be hon­est, the thing that mat­ters most to me is power. a few on the list are related to my idea of power such as energy and health but the thing i felt was most con­nected is spir­i­tu­al­ity, so that’s what i chose.

Hav­ing great power and using that power for help­ing oth­ers is what i most desire.

Also, things like money, beauty and joy etc could eas­ily be obtained by your­self if you had the right power.

Power is what mat­ters most.

shawn says

peace of mind

Judith says

I selected Joy, because we came into this life as a healthy joy­ous human being, there­fore giv­ing us the tools man­i­fest every­thing we desire.

When we live in joy we feel more pos­i­tive and in bal­ance with the flow.

Leonora says

At the moment I very much need money for I have very lit­tle work.

yoni says

I marked joy at the top because when I am in the state of joy I feel that all the rest have already taken care of,every thing will folow when you are in joy.

Marilyn says

I really wanted to say Spir­i­tu­al­ity, but in con­sid­er­ing that,I feel that each day I pray for good health, because with­out that you really do not have any­thing. When I see peo­ple who are ill, includ­ing some in my fam­ily I thank God I have my health and can be up and about with good energy. So it is a real toss up between Spir­i­tu­al­ity and Health in my mind.

Joanie says

I chose health because with good health you are able to improve all the other cat­e­gories. It is like start­ing out at the beginning.

teresa rodrigues says

I choose pas­sion because pas­sion must be present in ever­thing i do, and ever­thing will flow.

Lynda Adlington says

Health, for myself and loved ones and also every­body else come to that. In an age were can­cer etc takes so many lives we need to look at what we are doing to our bod­ies in regard to how we treat them and what we put on them as well as in them. With­out our health we have nothing.

Chris says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity since a con­nec­tion with one’s true self allows all the well being to flow into your expe­ri­ence freely. Of course the other things are impor­tant, but achiev­ing a con­nec­tion with your spirit side brings all good things to you.

Annie says

I choose ‘joy’ because with­out this to me the other responses would be mean­ing­less and some of them very dif­fi­cult to bear. Joy fills your heart, excites your mind, warms the body and sings to my soul.

gary says

I chose pas­sion. I used to think of pas­sion as being the ‘juice’ of life, and when pas­sion drove me I felt alive.
I have no pas­sion about any­thing any­more, and each day passes into the next with lit­tle to show.

Jeff says

I picked rela­tion­ships because that is were I’m at right now.I’m a very pos­i­tive per­son in a very neg­a­tive word, and find­ing that one per­son to share my life with has been my per­sonal struggle.I have many friends and loves in my life but not The One.I only hope through the devel­op­ment of myself that I am found wor­thy and our paths may cross.

Kristoffer says

I chose pas­sion because it moti­vates us and gets you out of bed in the morn­ing. No pas­sion no love. Love is everything:-)

Jerome says

With money, if used wisely, one can achieve good health, happiness,good reationships,do char­i­ta­ble work and many other things.

Brenda says

The rea­son I chose joy is because when this is present in my life I feel free & flow­ing & giv­ing & totally alive.

Sigrun says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity is what we as humans need to strife for. Every­thing else will fol­low if we let this become the main focus of our lives.

Anna says

To me, Spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant! I believe we are not human beings hav­ing the occa­sional spir­i­tual expe­ri­ence, but that we are spir­i­tual beings hav­ing a human experience.

With­out spir­i­tu­al­ity every­thing else is just illu­sion. I also think that we are cre­at­ing our own real­ity with our thoughts each and every moment, and that this is how we cre­ate our phys­i­cal real­ity. I believe We can man­i­fesst vir­tu­ally any­thing into our phys­i­cal life, be it health, wealth, lov­ing reation­ships, etc. etc. by the power of thought and visu­al­i­sa­tion, there­after releas­ing it to the Devine to unfold in mys­te­ri­ous and won­der­ful ways.

Pete Hughes says

To expe­ri­ence joy is the rea­son for liv­ing. All the other things on the list are only impor­tant to the extent that they bring us joy.

Mikki says

I chose pas­sion. I feel that when you express a gen­uine pas­sion for life all things are pos­si­ble and tol­er­a­ble. Pas­sion is the dri­ving force of life!

Vera Vixseboxse says

I chose sprituality,although there were more con­tes­tants.
But try­ing to find the source of each item, for me they all came down to: doing what I meant to do, when I came to earth.
I try to find the Light, that is guid­ing me. Feel­ing it occa­sion­ally, it takes pri­oity over all other concerns.

Poul says

I do think, that we are set on this planet to dev­el­lop our spir­i­tu­al­ity, but right now my life is filled with thought about being well and heal­ing dia­betes type 1 — but i chose spir­i­tu­al­ity, because I think our soul lives ‘forever’

James says

Accu­rate information

Raymond says

I would have to say Money. All the other choices are impor­tant but it takes money to make them work. For instance, have you noticed that organic food and excel­lent health prod­ucts (ex: tooth­paste with­out flouride) cost a lot more than the brands you buy at the super­mar­ket or 99cent store. To pur­sue your pas­sion or to really pro­vide for your fam­ily costs money. In the field of Spir­i­tu­al­ity, books and pro­grams and down­loads (even Burt’s) cost money.

So yes money is a fun­da­men­tal need and part­ner in evolving.

Joe says

if I didn’t have pretty good health, that one have been my first answer. How­ever with­ing the past 20 months or so, I under­went get­ting my left knee replaced (07/07) and had my heart fixed, 6 bypasses ( 07/08).
I got back to the things I love most real quickly each time (about 3 to 4 months after each pro­cee­dure).
I eat every­thing I used to eat, and even added a new game to my list of things I do each week (bi-weekly) namely ‘golf’. So now it’s league bowl­ing, dou­bles ten­nis, ping-pong and golf, each twice a week ( the fact there’s only 7 days in a week makes sched­ul­ing a lit­tle awk­ward) In spite of all this, nat­u­rally I still have that ‘some­things miss­ing’ feeling…duh.
I was tempted sev­eral times to give your ‘thing’ a ‘shot’
but hes­i­tated, only because I’ve tried oth­ers and they help for a while then die ( I love Bill Har­ris and the Kabala is cool too) Any­way I’ll be 69 this July and basi­cally hope I just don’t have too much time left on this planet con­sid­er­ing the mess all these greedy jack­asses put us in.

Johnny says

energie is the one I chose because if i have the right energie i can have every­thing or be any­body i choos to have or be the one i wan’t to be.

Matt says

I chose money — Like Mark said “When you can´t pay the bills, it´s stress­full”. Stress can affect your health.More money less stress.

Another good thing about money is — you have more time for for spir­i­tual things. And this will lead you to greater joy and har­mon­i­cal relationships.

Andy says

Noth­ing mat­ters with­out being set­tled within. To set­tle your­self within you must think, ask great ques­tions, read, look and learn. You have to ‘fix your­self’ first oth­er­wise all other things are point­less. Spir­i­tu­al­ity was the only rel­e­vant tick box here for this.
I believe I am on a jour­ney to dis­cover who I am, who I was and to get my life lessons right before mov­ing on to the Wher­ever. This is the cor­ner­stone of the build­ing of ‘I am’.

Joe says

Hi Burt, I chose energy, because to me we are all energy, every­thing around us is energy at dif­fer­ent lev­els of vibra­tion, money is energy, the cre­ator is energy. If you under­stand energy, then you can cre­ate what­ever you want.

Zain says

Money’s the key source of life Every­thing from love,happiness and joys to men­tal sat­i­fac­tion is based on a sound finan­cial foundation.

Alexander says

I chose health because with excel­lent health you can achieve all the oth­ers on your list and a lot more

liz says

Deep down in my heart I wish to say health, but on the out­side & all my life I had been con­cerned about money. And now that I am aging at 52, I had never been more in debt than before, due to com­plete trust in my hus­band & signed every­thing he told me to for busi­ness expan­sion, and now I am hold­ing the bag with a mas­sive headache! Recently I had been drift­ing towards spir­i­tu­al­ity as well.I look for­ward to your comments..

Paul says

I chose Joy as I believe all things start from feel­ing this emo­tion, I asso­ciate joy as a pos­i­tive thought / feeling.

Licia Decker says

I chose joy because i really feel that if you have joy in your heart mind and sould you radi­ant with that and if you radi­at­ing joy out how can you not have it return inessence mak­ing all the other things fall into place .

Heather says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity in the end, because it is per­haps the root of all the rest.But for me, they are all so inter­re­lated that it was very dif­fi­cult to vote!

alps says

With­out spir­i­tual con­nec­tion, I feel lost. Spir­i­tu­al­ity gives a mean­ing to life — moment to moment

Verena says

With spir­i­tu­al­ity I can attract all good things in life. We live in an exit­ing time of change — I’m part of it.

LILI says

Spirituality(There is noth­ing, if there is no love)

shayne says

I selected spir­i­tu­al­ity because every­thing else is related to what we believe in-how we use our bod­ies ‚how we treat people,how we use money ‚and whether we appre­ci­ate the divine aspects of the world.Flying in a jet above fluffy white clouds and being over­awed by a spec­tat­u­lar sparkling golden sun­rise helps us to appre­ci­ate the divine.We are spir­i­tual beings and every­thing else is an expres­sion of us.

Kalpana says

I think spir­i­tu­al­ity is the most impor­tant of all since it opens the doors of love, joy, energy, health and wis­dom! Once you know your­self, become spir­i­tual, you become one with God or Exis­tence .…! Peace!

Wendy says

I chose health because if you have good health you can more eas­ily attract all the other things.

Optimind says

Health is prob­a­bly the most important.

Muhammad Ikramullah Sayeed says

Hi,

I choose spir­i­tu­al­ity as I beleive that spir­i­tu­al­ity is the main thing in life.If spir­i­tu­al­ity is achieved, all other things may be achieved .

kate says

My con­nec­tion with God is top pri­or­ity. When I con­nect with God I con­nect with every­one else and ego takes sec­ond place. I am start­ing to under­stand that when I do con­nect with God I am in a neu­tral state and have an aware­ness that where things that are momen­tal start to hap­pen. Still work­ing on this one and it hasnt become sec­ond nature to me yet, Prac­tice makes per­fect. I believe my quan­tum jump­ing will take me to new heights of aware­ness when I do.

Chris Jones says

By tap­ping into sprir­i­tu­al­ity and our higher selves we move into an area of bal­ance and every­thing else fits into place — Seek ye first the King­dom of Heaven and all these things shall be added unto you.

Terry says

Pas­sion is prob­a­bly the most impor­tant facet here as it involves com­mit­ment, inter­est and com­ple­tion. With pas­sion, all of the other areas espe­cially energy, health and spir­i­tu­al­ity basi­cally fall into place as pas­sion sub­sumes most if not all of them in some way or another.

Jane says

If by spir­i­tu­al­ity you mean that you know you are OK what­ever man­i­fests in your life no mat­ter what the gen­er­ally accepted think­ing is about it, then that means you have come home to your­self and are no longer sub­ject to or let‘s say dri­ven by the col­lec­tive con­scious­ness or your own repressed and denied per­sonal uncon­scious.
If you don‘t mean that then I would say money because at least you could have some com­fort and fun with money even if every­thing or every­one else deserts you.

Seth says

Money. Because when you have money already and don’t have to strive for it, you’re able to be more spir­i­tual… and when you’re spir­i­tu­ally enlight­ened, you can achieve a lot more in life.

Paolo says

I chose pas­sion because with­out this fire you can­not reach any­thing in your life, and all other sides even if present will be not appre­ci­ated as they could be.

Chris says

I chose money because it was the first to enter my mind when con­tem­plat­ing this ques­tion. It dis­turbs me that this was my first thought. I should not be! I feel that the finan­cial stress that I have been under for so long has played a big part in the “impor­tance fac­tor.” I’m ashamed that money would take the lead over spir­i­tu­al­ity, health and joy for me. It wasn’t always this way.

William says

I agree with Caroline

cristina says

Pas­sion brings health and joy, it is the oppo­site of bore­drom and depres­sion. When pas­sion­ate about work, it brings money as well. When pas­sion­ate about the rela­tion­ships we have, they become bet­ter and bet­ter. And it is much eas­ier to become spir­i­tual when we are happy !

Mare says

I want to be myself and do what I like , want and enjoy with pas­sion and joy . This makes most pos­i­tive energy arround me and effects all in a best way (excuse my eng­lish)
Mare

Linda says

If EVERYTHING is ENERGY then that should be top pri­or­ity — the rest, health, joy, money etc., falls into place when our energy lev­els are HIGH.

Daniël de Mos says

Hi Burt,

I have cho­sen joy. I must admit it was dif­fi­cult to choose between health and joy, but then I real­ized liv­ing in joy is essen­tial for all the other aspects in life.

In my opinon only joy­ful peo­ple can be healthy, wealthy and … wise?

Yours,

Daniël, The Hague, The Netherlands

Yvonne says

I chose rela­tion­ships because peo­ple make every­thing else work.

Ruth says

Health. With­out health I don´t need the other things.

Julius says

I chose Money because it rep­re­sents free­dom (time, stress, depres­sion) to pur­sue activ­i­ties and expe­ri­ences that bring me hap­pi­ness or devel­op­ment. Rela­tion­ships was a close second.

Shawn says

Hello Burt…i hope your life is going great these days my friend. To answer your question…health is the most impor­tant these days…i sure would love to meet you and see what you could do for me about tak­ing away my numb­ness. All of the above are impor­tant just depends on who your ask­ing and what’s going on in their lives. GOD should always be #1…that is my opin­ion. But since back surgery, it did turn my life upside down…when you start tak­ing away some of the every­day things you used to be able to do, what fun is life…i have no hap­pi­ness in my life and i haven’t for years. I did try and take you up on your offer for $1.00 and for some rea­son it kept deny­ing my card. I have heard you say that you can heal your­self and i’ve seen some of your videos…and i did try the 7 free lessons, and i thank you so much for that…cuz i did take my pain away and i just can’t fig­ure out how you HEAL YOURSELF. Thanks, GOD BLESS

Nati says

I selected spir­i­tu­al­ity, because if my spirit will be very very high, the body will fol­low and I will be healthy, and the world around will change accordingly.

Dan says

It would be nice to have all of these choices, but a strong spir­i­tual foun­da­tion will help with any short­com­ings or dif­fi­cul­ties that come along, in any of these pursuits.

Mark says

Money. Every­thing in our soci­ety revolves around money. When you can’t pay the bills, it’s stress­ful. To eat health­fully it’s more expensive.

Tony says

Spir­i­tu­al­ity gives us con­nec­tion with God, source of Uni­verse and our Being

clare says

I chose spir­i­tu­al­ity because with this we can achieve every­thing we desire

Ro says

Health would be my choice as with­out it, the rest is pretty dif­fi­cult to enjoy!

Darryl Shaun Avery says

This is impor­tant because i will be able to live the life of my dreams and ful­fill allof my goals and help an abun­dance of people.Always With The Atti­tude Of Gratitude!

David Roberson says

Every­one in this world I have a will­ing­ness to want to pro­tect. As is though this task is impos­si­ble even so I would say in truth every­thing is impor­tant to me.

Caroline says

I selected ‘health’, because with­out health you can’t have or enjoy the rest of the good things in life — pas­sion, beauty, energy, money, rela­tion­ships, joy or spirituality!

Jan says

With­out health we have nothing
