Prioritize your activities

 

     

   

I see a lot of people in their life prioritizing work. And I really think that it is one of the most crucial things in life to do if one wants to be successful. But I also believe that success is not always measured by the highs of the business or one’s earnings but from the balance that one makes in his/her life. A balance of work, family and society. A person should give equal importance and priority to all the three aspects mentioned above. The perfect balance between work, family and society is the textbook definition of being successful.

A person who is outgoing, lives happily with family, and enjoys his/her work is successful. I don’t believe someone earning $10,000 a month by working 12 hours on computer is successful. He is a slave of his own wrong perception and interpretation of this world. One must prioritize activities along with work in order to be successful. You’ve got to give equal importance to your family, friends, society as you give to your work. You can’t always have this attitude of getting something in return of efforts. Sometimes you must make efforts for the unknown. Sometimes you must make efforts for your friends and family in return for nothing. Sometimes you must make efforts for society in return for love.

Everything that we do in this world is a part of our life and it should be treated that way. Work should not be made the more vital part than any other aspect. It should be as crucial and as trivial as any other part of life.

Playing with your kids, sharing moments with your partner every day, talking to your parents, helping the weaker, doing little things for society, going out with your friends, celebrating small achievements, walking, going for a run, cycling, eating, cooking, reading, travelling, going to movies, swimming, playing a sport, visiting relatives, sitting idle and doing nothing are some of the activities that we consider secondary. But it must be your priority to include any activity or activities you like in your schedule and give them equal importance as your work. This attitude also increases your involvement in that activity, and you will get maximum benefits out of it.

One should not give up certain activities in order to finish an office work on time as they are equally important. Allocate time for the things that give you bliss. Happiness is what keeps you motivated in the worst of situations. Doing work will definitely fill your belly but doing the activities you like will fuel your soul.

Love and power to you
