For so long we have heard; “I need to balance home and work”. Well, I say baloney, it’s not really about a balance so much as it is about priorities. When we have our priorities straightened out, balance will follow.
To prove my point, think about this: Would you spend an equal amount of time in a spa as you would taking care of your kids? No, unless you’re a horribly self absorbed parent, in which case you probably wouldn’t be reading an article about “priorities in life”. So there, it is a bit simplistic but it proves my point, it’s not about balance but rather about priorities. The priority in this case would be taking care of your children, then when time permits a trip to the spa.
Many people struggle with prioritizing because it usually only comes to mind when you are too busy. The key is to ask yourself “What is the most important thing in my life?”
We do our to do lists by priority, why not run our lives the same way?
Trust me when I tell you that that having your priorities figured out will not only bring the peace you want in life, but will actually make you more successful overall.
