The Ultimate Life Success System (ULISSYS) seeks to provide information and knowledge to help you achieve success in all areas of your life. The ULISSYS structure is based on our logical, science-based framework called the 9 Dimensions of Life:
The 9 Dimensions of Life Framework
There are nine dimensions of all human life, as illustrated in this diagram.
If you understand these nine important dimensions correctly, you will realize that is all there is in life that you can control or influence to be successful! This is extremely important to understand. Let us explain the logic behind this so you can confidently bet your life on it:
- Everything that you observe in the external world is composed of objects and movement. The basic laws of physics developed by Isaac Newton referred to bodies in motion – same things. We are not saying that that is all there is in the universe, but that is all you observe as you look out upon your everyday world.
- Objects are two kinds: living and non-living.
- The most important living objects are People. Each human being has 4 internal dimensions, which overlap but are fundamentally distinctive:
(a) Mind (including your brain)
(b) Body (your whole body)
(c) Emotions (including your feelings)
(d) Spirit (including your eternal qualities or soul)
4. In addition, each human being has (e) Relationships with other human beings, including family, friends, community, and in today’s world, connections via social media with people around the world.
5. Technically non-living objects are Things, but most important are (f) Finances, a term we use for all things you own or lease, such as real estate, automobiles, money, and possessions.
6. The most important motion or action you take to be successful in life is (g) Work, which is how you earn those finances, keep your things in good order, etc.
7. Motion or action which is not work we call (h) Leisure – even though you might expend a lot of energy exercising, for example, you will not get paid for it. (By definition these dimensions are all mutually exclusive, meaning they do not overlap.)
8. Surrounding you and the other dimensions is the (i) Environment, including the natural-personal environment and the man-made environment including all built structures, and global forces such as technology, economy, geography, weather, politics, the worldwide flow of information, and more. You cannot control the environment, but it has a lot of impact on you, and you can do your part to take care of the environment before we all suffer further!
9. Now that you understand the logic of the 9 dimensions of life, here they are simplified:
- 4 internal, which is all you can really control:
-
- Mind
- Body
- Emotions
- Spirit
-
- 5 external, which you can interact with but not control:
- Finances
- Relationships
- Work
- Leisure
- Environment
