PRIORITIZING FOR OPTIMIZATION
It is the Holiday season, Christmas will be here in just a few short days, and, I hope it is a wonderful one for all who celebrate it, and, for the rest, Happy Holidays…
It is in this time of the year when we begin to reflect the past year, with its many contributions or failures to our lives. We then look forward to a new, even fresh start, like a day (New Year) is going to make the difference, still look forward to it, we do.
One thing which should be considered when reflecting on the past year, or planning the New Year is that priorities need to be in place. This is so important for many reasons, one of which is that our personal relationships and the time they take to nurture them, should be on the top of the list. Also, we do not want to make plans which alienate those closest to us, especially our spouse or significant other, for they are a part of the whole…
My people are top priority. Without them, I would be less than I could be, for it is them who keeps me real, it is them who feeds my drive, imagination, and, they are also my support system, so, to lower their priority would be to lessen the impact of my accomplishments…
While we should do that which we love to do, while we should strive for as much success as we can muster, we should first consider, or, even include those closest to us, for they are also going to be affected by our decisions. They may also have to make sacrifices, therefore, they should be aware of all details surrounding our plans. In doing so, we are keeping the lines of communication wide open, and there will be no surprise setbacks from this sector of our lives. When all is well in our personal lives, then what we do outside of the home will flow all the easier…
Prioritizing is optimal for success in any realm. We must make sure and honorable decisions which will manifest only good and growth, as opposed to making bad decisions which will foster resentment and discord. The whole purpose of life, as I see it, is growth and achievement. When we have created dissension of any kind, the whole process is less than satisfying. It can be rectified, but, why not simply plan your advances in the light of positive energy in the first place that you are not slowed or stagnated in the process?
Relationships, whether personal or not, require honesty, effort, and to a large degree consideration, as well as open communication. Even in our business dealings, open communication is ultimate to our overall success…
Building relationships, personal or otherwise, should be based on integrity. Honor and integrity should be synonymous, as they are the most effective tools when dealing with people, period. When we have integrity, we honor those around us and their wishes, which will rarely lead to any negative interactions…
Effective prioritizing is essential to fulfillment in most areas of our lives. Respect, honor, and, integrity will greatly aid us in building lasting, workable relationships on every level, plus, it will establish reputation, which without, we are just another person trying to make it. Having a solid reputation is one of the best silent marketing devices we could possess, either in our personal lives, or, that of a business nature, as it indicates that others have trusted us with their hearts, lives, dreams, desires, and with their best interests. Plus, it means that we have established ourselves as someone who has enough wisdom to know that priorities are intelligent decisions which are based on principle first, and, for gain last….
