What Actually Matters in Life?
Hi,
Have you ever thought about your priorities in life? What do you think is important?
Status? Money? Relationships? Health?
Well, I can tell you about my list, which can make you choose for yourself.
But, why should you prioritize?
Well, your attention is sacred. Your resources are scarce and your time on this earth is limited. Would you spend these on unfulfilling things or the things that are truly valuable to you?
You don't want to be old and realize you never did anything for yourself or where you put most of your energy was something useless.
I have thought about this question for a while now and I remember a few months ago I got the answer I was looking for.
It was a hot summer day and I went to Woodbine beach. I love swimming when it's hot.
I saw an elderly couple. They must have been around 70 years old. They had their camp hut and had brought an inflatable boat. Curious as i am, I went up to them.
After some small talk, I asked them the question: "So, after years of experience and wisdom, what do you think is important in life."
1. Health
2. Money
3. Relationships, they said.
Wise perspective.
I tussled with the idea and came up with my list and explanation.
1. Health: Your health is the foundation of everything. Without it, you won't be able to pursue your goals or enjoy the things in life that bring you joy. Take care of your body and mind through exercise, healthy eating, and stress management. Remember, your health is your greatest asset.
2. Relationships: The people in your life are irreplaceable. They offer love, support, and connection. Make time for your friends and loved ones and invest in your relationships. Show appreciation and gratitude for the people who matter most to you.
3. Money: Money is important but don’t let the pursuit of money consume you or come at the expense of your health or relationships. Find balance and remember that true happiness and fulfilment come from within.
By prioritizing these three things, you will be setting yourself up for a fulfilling and meaningful life. Don't let other distractions get in the way of what truly matters.
What do you think about my list btw? Open to knowing your views.
