Organize Your Priorities

By Karin E. Fried

Having a big house and new clothes and being able to do whatever you want is great. But at what price?

If you have to work at a job that you hate and work fifty (50) or sixty (60) hours a week and rarely get to see your spouse and kids, is it worth it?

For some people the answer is yes. They are all about materialistic things.

For others they just want to be comfortable and their priority is their family.

But for some people they have to work at a job they don't like and work long hours because that is the only way to make ends meet.

The bottom line is "what are your priorities?"

In today's society it seems to be all about "things". People don't spend time together as a family. They don't eat together or play together. Everything is about "instant gratification".

It's sad. And it won't be until the adults are older and the kids are gone and don't have time for them and don't participate in their lives that the reality of the situation will sink it.

So.... change it!

Organize your priorities!

Don't waste your time or money on "keeping up with the neighbors". Keep up with your family. Spend time with your family. Have family dinners. Have family "time" (games, talking, activities....).

Yes, the kids will whine and complain. So what! They will get over it. But if you don't start acting as a family now you will turn around and your ten year old will be going off to college and you wonder what happened to those lost years. Years that you can never get back.

So cut out the texting and being a zombie in front of the computer and video games and go back to the old fashioned way of actually talking to one another and interacting.

Stop shopping and buying their love. Stop filling your home with "things". Fill your home with your family.

Make your family your priority. Don't lose that precious time that you have with your kids. They will be gone before you know it.

Less Clutter = Less Stress (sm)..... in your home, your business and your life.
