DEFINING YOUR PRIORITY

Most people spend more time at work than asleep. How we spend this big chunk of our life makes the difference. How you define your priorities matters especially if you will end up work-ing for yourself or for others.



Every one of us has concerns vary according to the nature of the person, work, and social level. But the rest of his priorities are considered the foundation of his life.

 In order to reach your goals, it is essential to define just a few key priorities in your life, and expend most of your energy supporting those priorities instead of spreading yourself thin trying to keep up with too many priorities.

Deciding what is important to you is a key to winning back your time. In today’s information and communication congested society, if you don’t decide what’s important to you, anything can compete for your time and attention and scatter your day, your week, your year, your career, and your life!

Once you decide what’s important to you, you can then determine what it actually takes to maintain or achieve what you’ve designated as important.

According to Jeff Davidson {2015}, the great paradox about priorities is that if you have too many of them, by definition, they can’t all be priorities. Do you have 15 or 18 things that you list as top priorities in your life? If so, you’d better look again — no one has time to pay homage to 15 or 18 top priorities.

Life doesn’t work that way. Getting real about what you want means being honest with yourself. It also means taking the time and trouble, in an interruption free-environment, to compose a list of priorities and reviewing your list often until your priorities sink in.

It is even safer in our contemporary time to understand that your priorities in life play a huge role in attracting your reality. In a simple sense, your priority defines what your “focus” is on, and your focus is the signal that attracts your reality.

If you sense that your life feels disorganized or chaotic, it’s an evidence, or proof, of the fact that your priorities are messed up, in that you are either totally confused about what your priorities are, or you are giving priority to things that don’t serve much value in your life.

 Your priorities are defined by the choices you make in your daily life, so it’s not something you write on a paper, but it’s something you execute in your daily behavior.

 If you want to attract a reality of ease, abundance and wellness, your first priority needs to be towards your own alignment with your joy/well-being – there is no getting around this truth.
