Choose A Life You Love

Why I Love This Journal

I love this journal because it can make you question what an asset actually is.

When you hear the word asset, the mind can naturally go towards money.....

Property.....

Investments.....

Things you have paid money for.

But then when you reach the journaling prompt: Intellect.

And the questions:

My mind is an asset because...

I can preserve this asset by...

I can increase this asset's wealth by...

You can realise that suddenly an asset isn't only something you can own.

It can be something you already carry.

Your mind. Your health. Your relationships. Experiences. Education. Reputation. And of course.... time.

Things that may never appear on a balance sheet but can still hold extraordinary value within a life.

That's what I love about the CALYL journal collection.

Sometimes one question simply gives you somewhere to write.

And sometimes it changes the way you see something you thought you already understood.

One prompt. One thought. One small choice at a time. ❤️

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ASSETS JOURNAL

The Choose A Life You Love Assets Journal explores a much wider idea of wealth.

It includes the assets we traditionally recognise — money, investments, property, vehicles and possessions — but it doesn't stop there.

It also asks you to consider friendship.

Family.

Intellect.

Personality.

Health.

Education.

Community.

Time.

Life experience.

Even discomfort.

The journal isn't here to decide what is valuable for you.

Instead, each topic gives you somewhere to consider three things:

Why might this be an asset?

How might I preserve it?

How might I increase its wealth?

And you decide what wealth means.

It might mean money.

But it might also mean knowledge, strength, usefulness, connection, longevity, experience, care, contribution or something entirely your own.

There are no prescribed answers to find.

WHAT IF WEALTH IS BIGGER THAN MONEY?

One of the things I love most about this journal is that it doesn't remove money from the conversation.

Money matters.

Property can be an asset.

Investments can be assets.

Things can hold value.

But they exist alongside other forms of wealth.

A friendship can become richer.

Knowledge can compound.

A skill can become more valuable.

Health can be cared for.

A reputation can be built.

An experience can become something you carry for the rest of your life.

And perhaps simply noticing those things changes the way we care for them.

The journal doesn't tell you what should matter.

It gives you somewhere quiet to work out what does.

A QUIET ALTERNATIVE TO SCROLLING

The Assets Journal can also simply be somewhere else to put your attention.

Instead of opening another feed, watching another video or consuming another person's thoughts, you can open one page and spend a little time with your own.

There are no streaks.

No notifications.

No algorithm deciding what you should think about next.

No requirement to finish.

Choose one page.

Notice what comes up.

Write it down.

Your answers remain yours.
