REVISE YOUR PRIORITIES

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Our lives are more meaningful and complete when all our efforts are focused on the things that mean the most to us.

People who have identified and embraced a clear purpose in life are able to accomplish far more than those who have not.

It is therefore important for us to set the right agenda for our lives, prioritize accordingly, and keep our lives in balance.

What then should be the most important priorities in your life?

1. Let God be your topmost priority. Set a priority that you will serve God and do His will.

2. Invest quality time into the lives of the people you love.

3. Take a risk. Do something that you don't normally do. Take a bold step towards something of value. Take a giant leap. Do something bold and courageous for once.

4. Put some money aside for your future. Commit yourself never to touch the money, even if you are in need.

Have a clear plan concerning your savings or investment notably, the amount per month, where and how you would invest it and how long you want to keep the investment running.

The more the discipline and commitment to the plan, the more likely are its chances of success.

5. Invest sacrificially in something you will be proud of in the future. Sacrifice in something noble something worthy.

When you grow old, there must be landmarks all over life that have your name and signature on them. Let it be that you passed this way and left your impact and influence on people's lives.

Re-ordering your priorities and committing time and resources to the most important things in your life will ensure that your life gets better each year than the year before.

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to put the first things first.
