Discover The 85/15 secret of life

This is a story about the 85/15 secret of life lesson that one man learned.

A man looked at his wife and realized he only had 85% of what he wanted in a relationship. He left his marriage to look for the other 15%. “Life is short,” he thought, and now that the kids were out on their own, it was time to search for what was missing. “I will look for what is missing in my marriage.” What he didn’t know was that the universe was about to teach him a life lesson. He was going to learn about the 85/15 secret of life.

He found his 15%. And then he realized, that he now ONLY had 15%. He forgot to appreciate the 85% and now had much less.

This 85/15 secret of life lesson can be applied to our careers, our retirement plans, and the people in our lives. What gratitude do you have in your heart for your 85 percent? Sometimes, we spend too much of our lives planning to make more money, comparing ourselves to others, and focusing externally instead of what is truly important. Maybe it’s time to slow down and reflect on our blessings.

Slow down. Look around. Pay attention to your 85 percent. Find happiness in what is already yours. Appreciating what you have may be all it takes to understand the secret of life and happiness.
