The Power Of Proper Priorities

Many state that they are striving for success, yet they often fail to address their personal priorities, and the potential impacts and ramifications of these. The reality is quite often that each of us must prioritize getting their personal priorities straight and meaningful! Personal success is not merely about making more money, or gaining more personal powers, but for it be meaningful and sustainable must address: 1. emphasizing the greater good; 2. making the creation and implementation of value a priority; and; 3. maintaining the pursuit of excellence. Without focusing on one's real needs and priorities, no one can ever achieve true internal happiness, and without that, no matter how one might else wise succeed, he will never truly be a success!

1. Inner happiness rarely is solely about succeeding in business or some other endeavor, but rather must include how one truly feels about himself and his life. Each of us never live in a vacuum, and therefore, when we consider how our actions impact others, our ability to feel better about ourselves is enhanced. One of the most important preliminary tasks must be asking the question, "What will I do to prioritize the greater good, and addressing the greater needs of all I come into contact with?" Unless we take the time, look objectively, and focus on screwing our heads on right and embracing how we wish to impact others, there can be no true success.

2. Both providing real value, as well as focusing on how others perceive the value, we become better able and willing to work with others in a cooperative way, to achieve essential goals. Value means a willingness to address needs in a meaningful manner, emphasizing the action and means, rather than solely the rhetoric or stated intent. We must assure that the values we aim to provide align directly with our own goals, maintaining absolute integrity, and persisting in an organized manner toward their achievement.

3. Successfully achieving mediocre goals does not mean that we are truly successful! It is precisely the level and impacts of what we strive for, that is often most indicative of our future relevance. Excellence means never merely settling, and therefore requires lofty goals, ideals and aims. The focus must consistently be on the greater good, because we need to please ourselves by doing the right thing on a regular and consistent basis.

Without having the necessary priorities, how can we feel good about what we do? Achievements without priorities creates aimlessness and inconsistency.
