Prioritization

Common advice is that you have to have your priorities. 

And in this age of high-tech and constant connecting, prioritization faces a lot of challenges. 

Often that which is prioritized is not valuable, but instead prioritized because it's easy, non-controversial, or in service to special interests or powerful people rather than the common good for people or the planet. 

This truth means we have to be aware of what's going on around us and take time to make priorities that are truly valuable to our lives as well as the lives of others and the planet too. 

As I think about this, I want to revisit my main priorities which are the following:

  • A happy, healthy lifestyle which means using products and engaging in activities that are healthy and positive; and not spending money or time on activities that are not healthy or positive. 
  • A warm, welcoming home which means making choices that lead to a welcoming home where the people you love feel comfortable. 
  • Positive, caring relationships which means investing time and energy into reciprocal, caring relationships.
  • Care for the planet which translates to a simple lifestyle that is Earth-friendly. 
  • Engaging, positive adventures meaning engaging in activities that make me feel good and that I enjoy; activities such as bike riding, traveling, hiking, gardening and more. This also means lessening the activities that I don't enjoy.
  • Supporting leadership that champions human rights and good living for all. 
Onward.
