PRIORITIES

My priorities in life are family, friends, work, spiritual life and self. Normally, people will have levels or degree of importance, but for me, i hope to give equal attention to each of these.Well, perhaps family will always have edge over the others. To further divide these into categories, it would be RELATIONSHIPS, SELF & WORK. I would create time out of work if necessary just to be make time for relationships or spiritual formation either of self and others. In the eyes of others, it may seem like leaving work for less important things....like having lunch, dinner or guiding when you're suppose to be working. To me these are not less important. They are necessary. I just do not like to fall into the mistake of forgetting relationships because of work. Work is just the means in order to survive and have the capability to enjoy life by nurturing relationships. I've seen families torn apart because of workaholic parents, or rebellious children due to lack of parental attention. I guess, everything has to be moderate. As they say, we let money work for us and not working for money. We let money work for us by enjoying it. But of couse, it's making sure that i will not leave work with things undone. To me, it's knowing how to make good use of time and resources.
