Step Three is improving your brain's performance. This will come from learning challenging new material. This will be good for your brain's capacity, and interesting as well. Step Four is learning to make the best of the challenges at work. Your work represents your opportunity to direct your life toward accomplishments and satisfaction. You need to establish goals to strive for. Volunteer work also is important in this area. Step Five is the problem of financial responsibility. It will require some delay in economic gratification, as you position yourself to handle your health costs and pension. Step Six is the last step, and includes control over distractions such as television that today have almost no upside. In controlling distractions, we create time for the activities that make our lives worthwhile. This gives us time to meet our expectations and to find the joy that surrounds us.
