I read something recently that concerned me.
It had to do with the reason why so many people these days are not living successful, happy and enlightened lives.
I was absolutely baffled.
I will share with you what I read, but before I do I need your help with something.
Can you let me know your answer to the question below?
What Areas of Your Life Matter Most To You?
Finally, can you tell me your reasons why?
I’ll be reading what you post in the next couple days and get back to you soon.
Burt
My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
with good health all the rest falls into place and all is possible. with poor health most of your options are limited.
Hi Burt just discovered you through Vishen who had the generosity to answer a few of my logical \ sceptical questions...In gratitude/acknowledgement i decided to buy on of the courses on finerminds. I chose loveorabove by christie marie sheldon..and i am gradually working throuh the course..
I am extremely impressed with your laid back wise advice.
What seems to be attracting me to your site is your talent for explaining everything in such simple laymans terms. I have found unable to disagree with any of your advice and as you say if it all sounds a bit Harry Potter - there is no harm in giving it a go.
Ive been up to 5.00am twice now reading/downloading your blog I'm on March 2009 now lol.
Take Care and I truelly admire that basically you are tryi ng to help people..
I work with naughty teenage boys in Liverpool (emotional,behavioural and social disorder) any chance of some yoda advice, techniques, parables, signposting,
help!
Thank you, Ian EBD
Oh forgot why I started to write this. In your quiz I tryed to chose most of them but could only have one. then I scrolled up and read your written post which said you can have everything - just seemed a little contradictary. A "put in order" quiz may have better suited your needs.
Spirituality, because I am working on being my true self ready and willing to help others. My desire is to be a faith/mind/body healer, use ESP, read auras. I am increasing my intuition and clairvoyance each day. We all should want and need the God-in-me and I-in-Him.
I picked relationships because it's the only thing to look back on as the years go by. Your boss will forget you, friends move one, children grow up and if you don't work on nuturing the relationships that bind all you have in the end is yourself. Relationships take work. Work is hard.
I've spent most of my life saying "yes" when I wanted to say "no" and "no" when I wanted to say "yes" just because I was afraid I was going to disappoint someone or be disapproved of by someone. GUILT IS A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND LIFE and people in authority (such as parents, teachers, clergy, relatives, etc...) use it on a regular basis. It can be so subtle and insidious and seemingly innocently like a slight hurt look and downcasting of the eyes to show that what you just did or said or decided is now responsible for the other person's unhappiness in the hope that you will do what they want and put your desires 2nd to theirs.
As a result I've rarely followed my passion. SEE THAT!! I'm making someone else responsible for the fact that I consider myself to be a failure. So it serves my purpose.... I don't have to take responsibility for it. I just blame someone else and I get to play the "Poor Fred" part. What a game, eh?
I am at a vital turning point in my life. I am going through a very ugly divorce and fighting to get my son back form an abusive husband(who views people as possetions). He has manipulated my family to testify aginst myself in court. With all these challenges I have chosen to look at life as 'WHAT IS IT THAT I SHOULD LEARN FORM THIS?' I recognize that I have chosen abusive relationships because that his all I know. Now I know I have choices, and I choose differently so that I can live the life I was born to live. I don't want to be a checked out victim, now I choose to conquer and thrive.
Energy signifies the unity of any given moment.
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".
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
Pure Energy. Spirituality and Life and all the others are part of it, not separate from it. It is the ONE that is ALL.
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.
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.
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.
Spirituality is our conection to God and the universe
without energy there is nothing no money, no peace, no sprituality
Energy is important because with good energy all other things are possible.
spirituality by far-the one and only-to live your life's purpose.
We're spiritual beings, what's the point of the other things in the long run if that's all there is...
Money - it is my driver in life and this driver aids in keeping my lifestyle healthy, stress at bay and energy levels high.
I chose spirituality because without it, you cannot have peace of mind.
sita welsh
Spirituality includes all the other 7 areas - you can have Health,Wealth,Beauty,Passion Relationship.......
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
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.
reality (sorry abt the misspell)
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.
honest ansver:mony,yes mony are important the rest ????????????????
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 !!
I chosen Health
Because with helth you can't improve the rest of things in live
If ya got your health, ya got everything! It seems all of the aspects are encompassed through a basis of health.
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.
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.
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.
All are important, why do we have to choose?
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
If you have Joy, doesn't that imply that the other areas are resolved to allow it?
I picked health
with health the rest you can work on it.
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.
you can be unhealthy and still be happy thats why i chose joy.
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.
TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULL YOU NEED HEALTH, EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS ON FROM THAT.AND IS ALSO IMPORTANT SPIRITUALITY, MONEY, BEAUTY, RELATIONSHIPS ETC
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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
Spirituality was the closest word that would match what i believe to be important.Spiritually we are all one.We are all important.
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
spirituality leads to Christhood and that is my desire
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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 ?
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
without health ,nothing is possible
without health nothing is attainablle.
I chose spirituality because with it there is a sense of peace and allows me to be productive.
~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.
However most certainly found in your heart.Thank you for helping so many souls.
truly I vote for LOVE it sums it all up in a nutshell~even if it's not on your list.
Blessings of Great Joy and, Safe Journeys to you , till the next time, xo Louise
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
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.
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*~
Nothing makes me feel more complete when I can have an open and honest relationship which touches our body mind and spirit connections.
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
Passion - for each and every item listed below it.
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.
Health, without it what good is money, and your spiritual life can be enhanced with a healthy vehical.
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.
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.
All are important to me but if i have to chose one it would be money.
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.
Since spirituallity prevails over evrything,a good spirituallity is the key to a better life
Spirtuality of course ...
With that, you can have all of the others !!
To get in touch with spirit is to return home where peace is and every thing else just naturally falls into place.
Paul, Ireland.
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.
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
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
Joy is connected to our heart. From heat, you can attract everything you like
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
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.
spirituality first - everything else follows if there is a right spiritual relationship.
I choose Joy because of that I enjoy living and that, I belive, is the reason I got hear.
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.
Why not give consistent energy to all the above areas?
They are all important!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
If you have true spirituality then EVERYTHING else will fall into place. The rest is all an elusion anyway!
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.
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
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 !!!!!
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.
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!
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.
All wonderful answers -- have nothing different to add
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"
When we follow our Joy all else falls in line
For me the most important thing is having a spirituality that works and sustains you.
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
SPIRTUILITY BECAUSE IT IS MY GOAL TO CONECT WITH MY SOURCE
Spirit is all their is and contains everything else.
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.
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
I choose passion because that is the energy that drives us toward that which we desire, love and enjoy... Tommy
Spirituality will encompass all the other areas.
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.
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.
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
If I have my health I can accomplish anything, money, relationships, energy, passion, joy, spirituality,can all be achieved with good health
I think all are important because we have the power to create all.
I chose passion because with true and deep passion in your life, most all of the other choices on this list will manifest easily.
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
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.
I chose health because without health we cannot achieve much. With health anything is possible
I Believe that I can accomplish anything if I have my Health....
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.
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.
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.
Burt, I chose Joy. I chose this because it gives your life fulfillment in all areas.
would love to read more on healing
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,
I guess that spirituality contains all the rest.
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"
I choosed health because with a good health I think it is much easier to achive what we want
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
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'.
Without joy, the rest is not worth anything.
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
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.
:>
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
With spirituality I can have all the rest.
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.
passion is the thing that drives our life,,...
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.
with no money you get depession so to be healthy money comes first.
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.
Hi Burt,
I have no idea what would i be without spirituality. Spirituality is the key to everything i believe.
All else stems from my connection to myself (Spirit)...that about sums it up, I think
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.
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....
energy links to most of the other options and if you can learn to control your energy the quality of your life will INCREASEEEEEEE
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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
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!!
I said relationships because without other people in my life what is the point of it all ?
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.
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.
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.
Spirituality. Connection to the source - which is within - all things are possible.
With relationships you cannot share anything you have such as joy. Wouldn't spirituality be considered a relationship?
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.
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.
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
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.
I've chosen money as all those other things jump out of the window when poverty knocks at the door! Avril
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Without the two life has no meaning for me. That is how I set my priorities: My heart!
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.
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
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!
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....
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.
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.
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...
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

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
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.
Joy and humor are very important to feeling good, which in turn gives good health. Being true to yourself is also part of it.
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.
Spirituality: The only way to balance body and soul and achieve all goals in this 3d life...
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!
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
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.
Regarding my life experience joy is fundamental. Living in joy brings me health, passion, good relationships, energy.
Wish to you all a joyfull spring.
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.
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.
spirituality, because it's the door to fully realize yourself
Spirituality...because if you are evolved to that level(which I hope to achieve) then the rest are all temporary...annicha.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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:)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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..:)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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...
I have selected spirituality because every thing depends upon it.Every door opens with spirituality.It is the main key for all.
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.
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.
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
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.
Relationships are most important to me, because, whatever you have, it means nothing if you can't share it with friends and family.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
With gratitude.
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.
Energy is the common denominator of all of our life's activity.
Without energy we cease to exist for either good or ill.
I chose Health. Without it there's little of anything else
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.
THE TRUTH
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
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!
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.
For me it is relationships, because nothing is worthwhile if you can’t share it with others
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.....
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
without joy we are not honest in our endeavors..just doing things to please others. Spirituality springs from joy
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.
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.
To me spirituality. I believe spirituality can provide me all the things I need in life. Thank you Burt to ask me about.
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.
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
I choose JOY
I chose joy because if i am in a state of joy I have success in all other areas.
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
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.
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.
I chose spirituality.
I have found that this provides me with the clarity and perception to choose wisely through this human experience/adventure.
I have chosen money. While all are important, only money can really help family members and eventually include all the rest.
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.
three things make me complet - health, happiness and family.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
i chose health with no health
you cant acomplish anything.
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.
I mentioned spirituality because it is the base for generate a better reality : awareness and wisdom
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
Because it is the substance of everything else.
Health... without it you can't have anything else, I would love to have the rest of list so I choose health!!!!
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...
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.
Just being in the real state of JOY balances all areas of one's life. So, stop worrying and just enjoy LIFE!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Joy, because I want to live a happy life 7/24, every moment.
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

Spirituality is the most important because it comes with all,Health,Happynes,money and helping others.
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
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....
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.
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.
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.
I chose health but wanted to choose all of them!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Spirituality is the key to mastering, honouring and enriching all of the above and therefore is the most important to me.
what is really most important to me is how I FEEL about my life and all those subjects!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
Without joy there can be nothing else.
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
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.
I chose spirituality because it covers love, relationships, energy, compassion, unconditional love,
humor, happiness, joy, harmony, abundance, sharing,
creativity, all gifts from our Creator.
I chose JOY because having JOY even without a specific reason attracts more JOYFUL experiences into your life which covers all the rest.
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.
I chose that which I need the most. the rest I am satisfied with or can obtain easier.
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.
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".
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.
HI BURT ,thanks for looking after everyone of us ,I will choose HEALTH been vital . Just take a look around ,relatives ,friends coluqes at work ,in streets shops ... you will hear of somebody is ill and suffering .I M TAKING this opp ,if i m allowd to urge more people to take more action in there lives ,consider all mr BURT,S offer how to improove our selves and how to help others (heale).money can buy you material things but not happiness or even health.its like a new matress ,it can give you a good nights sleep but not happiness....thanks ...and better and better
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.............
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
Energy expressed is the energy received.
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.
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.
Joy De Vivre'.
This enables all niceties of our Spiritual beings to manifest and coalesce congruously.Joy is Innately Spiritual.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In relationships I am able to express the most important: love being the first step to universal love
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.
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...
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.
I choose spirtuality because we are all spiritual beings Frist and formost.
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.
all of the above
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
"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 !!!
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.
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.
HEALTH IS THE ANSWER--WITHOUT HEALTH--
YOU HAVE NO QUALITY OR HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE.
I slelected Joy because without joy there is nothing else
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :*)
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)
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!).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a physical experience.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.”"
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.
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.
for me ,for my situation ,my career is important.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Because without Health, you can't make progress in, or enjoy, the other 7 Areas of Life included in your survey.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Spirituality is our purpose
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
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=)
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.
If we strongly believe in spirituality then everything else falls into place.
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.
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.
I agree with Josie. Love is most important to me. I choose relationships.
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
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.
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!"
Without health you are unable to enjoy life in any form!!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
When you are spiritually in sink with creation you become the masterful creator you were born to be.
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.
Spirituality is (should be) the #1 choice. By being spiritually connected, all the other choices can and will be enhanced.
Duane
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
I totally agree with Shuchi; - the awareness of who you really are can better all the other areas.
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.
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
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.
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.
From Him we came, to Him we return.
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
I chose spirituality and had liked to combine it with passion because with theese two I think I can achieve everything I desire.
Joy, because it makes up for everything else and can be found despite lack of everything else.
universal joy regardless of the situation translates as unconditional love for everything.
my philosiphy in a nutshell,
hope that helps,
-RR-
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-
i said relationship because i ve just slit up and can t work out why,im left in a strange place with nothing left
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
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.
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 ^^
I actually thought LOVE but this was'nt on the list so i chose relationships.
If you have Love everything else will follow.
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
Joy! What else? Everything... But what's worth it, without joy?
Joy is all of the above...peace of mind
I choose health. If there is perfect health, we can tune into all other areas and create a harmonious life.
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.
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.
Hello
I chose the spirit because everything starts within our spirit
within us we chose what and how we want to have things.
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.
Realization of "Truth" is The Source for All:
The Conciousness of True Reality and basis for all manifested world.
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.
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;^)
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...
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!!!!!
Without a good health, something would be failing on the other items mentioned in the list.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
No man is an island...
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
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
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!
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.
Because without relationships your pretty much alone.
Christine
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.
I chose Health without which one cannot enjoy life.
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
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.
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.
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.
With Joy and happiness all the other important things will follow.
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 : > )))
Joy - whatelse does anyone need in life - it encompasses everything else.
Spirituality, because my relationship to the divine facilitates all the rest.....
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.
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.
I have had various degrees of experience with all the categories listed. My spiritual experiences have been the most gratifying.
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~

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.
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.
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!
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.....
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.
I choose spirituality because, for me, the connection with the vitality of Spirit is the key to meaning in life.
I chose health, because wihout good health, we are unable to enjoy so many things in life.
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.
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.
God is the one true constant in this rocky world. Staying close to Jesus Christ is my Joy and Peace and all abiding Love.
Ok... I see, Truth and Peace probably are not "areas" of life, and I admit that it's difficult to divide life in areas
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.
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.
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
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".
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.
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.
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"
Joy - it is the purpose of life - to create joy is to participate in everything with everyone, and to experience joy is beyond wonderful.
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.
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.
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...
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!
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!
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".
It comes down to "what is the purpose of this life"
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I agree with Caroline - health is paramount. If a person is not in good health, nothing else matters.
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.
Spirituality, without that everything else is empty.
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.
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.
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.
I choose Sprituality because every thing will fall in to place when you have a realtionship with GOD.
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!
I chose energy because energy is the basis of what we are. To touch or control our energy allows us to direct our lives.
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.
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
spirituality because of the spirit within that expands and deepens on all levels and realms...
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.
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.
I picked Relationships. They are not the source of happiness, but I don't think happiness is truly enjoyed unless it is shared.
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.
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
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
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
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
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...
Being of the spirit in this mortal form
is enough of a test, don't you think?
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.
Hi Burt,
I chose passion because without passion none of the
rest matters.It's just that simple.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
Good health lets all else happen
joy..cause that what you ultimately seek at the end of the day.
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
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!!!
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.
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.
I chose relationships. I feel that without a strong relationship to lean on in troubled times, nothing else matters.
Have you realize that when you are enjoying something you do not need other things? That's why I selected "joy"!
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!!
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.
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.
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
I choose spirituality, because awareness of one's true self can lead to all the things we want...
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.
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 $1.92.00 income. so nothing noticable.
looking forward to hear good news
thanks for videos. please answer my earlier 2 questions.
GOD BLESS !!!
I've chosen 'health' because if you have it you live without any fear and you may reach the others. Of course it doesn't mean that those having health problems are not happy. Sometimes when you lose something you appreciate other things in life.
Spirituality! With spirituality we can achieve the rest of those areas.
I chose money because that is the area that delivers more stress to me than anything else. It was a tough choice between health and money. Yet my health is excellent and I am protective of myself in regards to staying healthy. Money on the other hand has vanished as quickly as it appears. Looking to entice it to stay for quite a long while. Curious as to what you are up to, Mr. Goldman. Thanks for all that you do for us..
I require more time, more money and more energy. There is just too much to do,not enough money and I'm getting tired.
Burt
I picked spirituality because I have been blessed all my life even during the dark periods. The one thing I have always ended up connecting with was a connection to the creator. So it makes perfect sense to me that this connection lead to all the others. It took me many trips to the plate before I finally hit the home run and asked for help from God. Why am I here and what should I be doing as my part in the Universe. Since than all the doors have blown wide open. Burt you were one of the doors. thank you and God Bless.
Bill
I voted money. The exchange rate is 1$=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.
i choose a loving relationship with a partner....having been married for 41 years i am wanting to repeat that same kind of love .....
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I say energy, without energy to move nothing comes to you and you can not offer what you have.
For me Passion It is a key which unlock every Door. It helps me to achive my vision.
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).
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
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.
i chose health because if youre sick nothing else mather
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.*
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.
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?
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.
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.
I chose spirituality because when you are in spirit all desires will flow to you.
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.
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.
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
If you have the right energy, you are vibrating at a high leavel and then anything is possible.
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.
Definitely joy - you could have everything the Universe has to offer, but if you're not happy then it means nothing.
Health! Because then you are able to actualize the others. Joy>Passion>Energy>Relationships... and so it goes. Better, Better, and Better!
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.
Money. This world revolves around money, and you can't be joyful or healthy with out money.
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.
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 !!
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
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.
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.

Hi Burt:
Any chance the above non-link can be made to work?
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...
Health: mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional perfection..and everything else will be added!
Relationships. When you love and are loved you can do anything!
I chose spirituality, because without God and his guidance we are nothing but a fleeting moment in his thoughts.
Light and Love

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.
I chose spirituality because with God all things are
possible.
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.
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.
With joy in your life you can have almost anything.
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.
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...)

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
Without health none of the rest can be attained or enjoyed.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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
I choose Spirituality because with it I can achieve everything that is important to me
I choose Joy, because I beleive that Joy is the base for every thing else.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
Health
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.
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.
To choose any of these things is tough so I chose health because without it, none of these other things can be achievable.
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.
HEALTH is most important for me. Without health nothing can be achieved.
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.
Living is for the journey toward enlightment.Each lesson learned brings us closer to that end. Spirituality is remembering that goal.
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.
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
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 !
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.............
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.
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!
Hi Burt, I selected 'Spirituality' because with Spirituality all the other choises I had are automatically covered.
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.
Spirituality is for ever, the other areas are in this life time only
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.
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.
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.
I chose health, with health and strength you can work on the rest.
Thanks Burt
I chose spirituality because that is who we really are...Spirit. Joy is also just as important. It is a quality of Spirit.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Without spirituality what is there?
I answered relationships because without them I wouldn't exist.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I chose money because money 'makes the world go round"!
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
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
I chose spirituality because it is the source of all of the other things mentioned.
I chose spirituality because if that is right all the rest is right.
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..
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....
Sorry sir.
If it is registered under my name,than it could be a slip. Accidently I might have clicked the button twice.
Bernard
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!!
Money should be your priority.When you have a lot of money then you can fullfill your desire.You can enjoy yourself.
JOY of course! If you have joy, you'll probably have all the rest also ...
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????
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
If there is joy,that means we have the rest of the things also to some extent.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
AND THIS TO SHALL PASS
SPIRTUILITY BECAUSE IT IS MY GOAL TO CONECT WITH MY SOURCE
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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
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)
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.
Health is the base to enjoy all other areas of life.
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!
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.
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
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.

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.
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
Without health the other things are very difficult to fully appreciate regardless of what we say.
I chose health, because without good health, most of the other items are difficult - if not impossible - to either achieve or appreciate.
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.
Hi Burt
I chose money, Why so I can stop travelling four hours
a day to work.I need a change of lifestyle.
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)!
I chose joy, because when you are in joy all the other things are floting and spirituality is joy.
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!
Spirituality because this is the source, everything else will be the consequence.
Without Spirituality everything you do isn´t real.
i 've selected PASSION ...as without which whatever ese you might be having will be virtually of no use...
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."
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
If you are healthy you can do any of the others I know I have back injury
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 .
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.
I choose joy because with joy within me I can do all things for myself and also for all people.
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.
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.
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.
I picked RELATIONSHIPS - I feel my life is bereft of fun at the moment and time is running out!!
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!
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.
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.
I selected spitutuality cos with this I will sure be healthy, wealthy and happy with every thing that I desire.
I chose spirituality because it is the source of all things, money health...etc
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.
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

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.
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.
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
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!
Joy is the state achieved when everything else is in proper balance.
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.
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.
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
I chose spirituality. With it I can achieve all others. Thank you.
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.

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.
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.
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.
I choose ENERGY. With ENERGY I can do everything, be anything and go any where.
Being joyful one feels one is living a balanced and peaceful life.
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.
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!
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.
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
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....;) !!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
I choose spirituality because if I am connected with my inner source, I can achieve all things I want.
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.
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...!
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.
I chose sprituality,because if I have inner peace Iwill have everything.
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...
hi burt...it was hard to choose..but i decided on passion because loving what i do influence everything else...
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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

Well, health is the start. If you are healthy you can progress in other area of lives.
I selected money because that with it i would be able to help many people & that would make me very happy
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.
I chose joy and passion, without them in your life the rest are meanningless.
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.
Energy, because everything is ultimately made of it
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.
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
Joy is an outcome of all the other requirements of life being met, wholly; hence it indicates completeness in life.
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
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
peace of mind
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.
At the moment I very much need money for I have very little work.
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.
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.
I chose health because with good health you are able to improve all the other categories. It is like starting out at the beginning.
I choose passion because passion must be present in everthing i do, and everthing will flow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I chose passion because it motivates us and gets you out of bed in the morning. No passion no love. Love is everything:-)
With money, if used wisely, one can achieve good health, happiness,good reationships,do charitable work and many other things.
The reason I chose joy is because when this is present in my life I feel free & flowing & giving & totally alive.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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'
Accurate information
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
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.
Money's the key source of life Everything from love,happiness and joys to mental satifaction is based on a sound financial foundation.
I chose health because with excellent health you can achieve all the others on your list and a lot more
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..
I chose Joy as I believe all things start from feeling this emotion, I associate joy as a positive thought / feeling.
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 .
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!
Without spiritual connection, I feel lost. Spirituality gives a meaning to life - moment to moment
With spirituality I can attract all good things in life. We live in an exiting time of change - I'm part of it.
Spirituality(There is nothing, if there is no love)
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.
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!
I chose health because if you have good health you can more easily attract all the other things.
Health is probably the most important.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I agree with Caroline
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 !
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
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.
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
I chose relationships because people make everything else work.
Health. Without health I don´t need the other things.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Spirituality gives us connection with God, source of Universe and our Being
I chose spirituality because with this we can achieve everything we desire
Health would be my choice as without it, the rest is pretty difficult to enjoy!
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!
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.
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!
Without health we have nothing
