My priorities in life


Its been some time since I opened this blog and blogged about entertainment news, jokes and many more but I did not have the time to write my own article in this blog. Yes, being alone in a foreign land makes us wonder about all the good things that we missed to give our priority upon.It goes along with the saying that you will not appreciate something until you lost it.Yes,I have to really go down with that.

Let me explain what are the top priorities in life that every person should have.I read this article from internet that actually struck my mind to think the priorities in our lives. In an era that tells us to keep rushing, from the time we are children until cruising through the milestones of life, it’s hard to keep our priorities straight.


In order to properly prioritize our lives, we need to take a step back and reassess where we are investing your time and energy. Alongside this, in my opinion, it becomes quite beneficial to keep ourselves accountable for every single decision we make.

At this point in my life, I feel that it makes most sense to prioritize ourselves in this order.

1. Health
2. Relationships
3. Career and Purpose
4. Fun & Satisfaction

Health-keeping ourselves fit and in shape is very important.Physical exercises such as cardiovascular trainings, football, basketball, swimming and so on are crucial recipes of a healthy body that ensures sharper mind and happier life. Regular schedules of sleeping and eating should be maintained.More than anything, do not be so obsessed over your health. Moderate exercises should be followed and enjoyed.It reminds me of this quote by Josh Billings,“There’s lots of people who spend so much time watching their health, they haven’t got time to enjoy it.”


Relationships-Family, friends, and people that we care about seem to be a logical secondary life priority after we take care of ourselves. In fact, studies have shown that people who show regular compassion or generosity to others are more likely to be happy and satisfied with their own life goals and accomplishments. Maintaining positive relationships with the people we love is vitally important to a balanced life. Ultimately, though, do not spend too much time on people we do not care about, or people that always let us down. This sounds harsh, but such actions will only negatively impact our health and relationships overall.Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.


Career and Purpose -Rather than getting caught up in the crazy speed and confusion of the modern world, we need to challenge ourselves to make decisions according WHO and WHAT we want to be.At all costs, we should not remain stagnant or hesitant for too long. We can only learn more about ourselves, and more about our purpose, by moving around and trying various things.It is a fascinating and inspiring rundown about life purpose we should check out.

Michael Jordan once said that, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”


Fun & Satisfaction - Don’t live for tomorrow, live for today. Enjoy life. Pleasure is so important and brings the cycle of life priorities back to our own personal health and well-being.Have fun with people, marvel at the beauty of the natural world, listen to music, develop your hobbies, travel, and play around with the idea of satisfaction.

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.And today?Today is a gift.That’s why we call it the present.


I hope all of us can get our priorities right and be the best that we can be in our daily lives.
