Priorities In Life

We hear this word thrown around a lot; phrases like “You need to get your priorities in order.”, or “if you only would put it as a priority in your life,” rings familiar to many of us. In reality there is a hierarchy of priorities that should dictate our daily actions. Usually things like our health, faith, family, relationships, and career are near the top of our list, while things like homes, cars, entertainment, hair, jewelry and clothes, rate near the bottom. When priorities are not in the right order, we often find that other aspects of our life suffer. It’s the trickle down affect! If our health is bad, it can affect our job, family, and relationships. For most people their health rates very near the top of their priority list. While we say that our health is one of the most important aspects of our life and rate it at the top of our list of priorities, often our daily actions do not reflect this priority. We spend so much time tending to menial tasks, washing and waxing cars, renovating homes, fixing our hair, dressing in style, while neglecting the most important priority, our health. We often pay more attention to the type of oil and gas that we put into our cars than the food that we put into our mouths.Stop and think, what are the most important aspects of your life? Sit down and prioritize your life in the order which demonstrates what is the most important to you. Then make your time and actions reflect your list of priorities.
