“Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions are determined by our priorities.” — Myles Munroe
Good day to you🥰
I hope the week has been going on well for you.
Let's start off from where we stopped the last time.
HOW DO I SET MY PRIORITIES??!!
The last time we spoke managing our time we'll enough; putting our time to good use.
Before we move unto the next, I will like us to know that you can't talk about impacting people out of your time if you, as a person, do not have good standards in life- a reflection of who you are & what your priorities are.
So what's next?
6. Surround yourself with those that will drive you positively
It is very important to know the kind of people you are surrounded with. There is a saying that says (I'll paraphrase), "The person you will be in next 5 years is dependent on the people you associate with today, amongst other things"
What does that mean? It simply means you will in one way or the other reflect the life of those around you. Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. To get anywhere meaningful in relation to your priorities in life or anything your are into, you need to walk closely with people that are going to that place as well. The same way you can't board a Vehicle on its way to Cross Rivers when you are going to Kogi State, is the same way you cannot walk with people who are without a future plan for themselves when you are aiming at an extraordinary life ahead. You will not only waste your time but you will never arrive where you are supposed to arrive. Walk with people who have positive mindsets and associate with those that are going to where you are going
7. Run with a Reward Mentality
Nobody needs to tell an Athlete (e.g Sprinters) that they will be given a gold medal if they are able to make it to the finish line first, despite all odds. The same way you should not see your life as a floating object in what you have set you mind on doing. Have it at the back of your mind that there is a becoming for you, a reward for you if you are able to keep up till the end. So keep it in mind to keep running till the end.
Not only will this help you to set you priorities, It will help you in setting your Priorities right...to get the right rewards.
8. Read Books and seek for Wise counsels
Dear Friend, you will get to certain juncture on this matter where things could get really blurry; maybe because of circumstances you never expect or situations that suddenly came in sight. This is the reason why you should equip yourself. You are not the first person taking this stride you are about taking. Many people have made this choice you are about making and they had a way to go about it. Some documented it in books, others in tapes, some in videos and there are others you see around you. Get to meet them! Ask questions, get their materials. Learn from their successes and mistake. Go over how they strategized and re-strategized with shifting their focus from their priorities. They were in the similar issues you might possibly face, so get to know about the do's and don'ts they imbibed. Equip your mind with practical knowledge. It will set you on the right path.
The above are the steps you can take to see yourself setting your Priorities right. The first obstacle you will have to overcome is your Mindset. Be positive. Get ready to work. Feed your mind with possibilities and positivity.
Remember, that the Priorities you set will go a long way in painting a picture of your future self hence, you can't afford to take your life to chance. Your priorities will reflect who you are because it shows what is/are most important in the course of your Life.
I see you make waves and become a better version of yourself now. Enjoy every bit of the movement.
