- God
- Health
- Family
- Friends
- Work
We say these things listed above are our most important, but our actions says otherwise. We work long hours at the expense of our family, health, friends, and God. We put friends in front of family and or neglect our health for anything and everything. We rush around all day staying busy and not doing what we is really important. No one has ever said they wished they had spent more time at work and less time with their family, friends, etc. You can love your work, but it should never be greater in your life than God, health, family, and friends.
I feel that we should put God in the forefront of everything we do. Being mind full of our blessing and constantly thinking of and thanking God for the day we are living. We should take care of our health by eating and exercising and resting properly because without our health nothing further down the list matters. We should put our family above all other items except God and fitness, but we don't, we let our family suffer the most when time is tight. We should care about our friends and build meaningful relationships instead we neglect them because of time constraints with work and or other things.
I'm not saying that I prioritize my time to reflect my priority list, more times than not something down the list like work and or even something as wasteful as TV watching takes precedent over time praying, exercising, and even time with my family.
I think I will try to be mindful of what really matters and keep that list of importance in my heart and mind when making my decisions. I will not let an item farther down the list interfere with a item further up the list. I will not let 80 % of the stuff I do interfere with the 20% of the stuff that really matters. (80% - 20% Rule)
Good luck with your time, because all of our days are numbered and only God knows when the curtain will be pulled.
Live everyday to the fullest, but make sure it is lived doing what really matters.
