Prioritise Your Life: 5 Tips To Focus On What Really Matters

Prioritise Your Life! We all want a lot of good things, some unrealistic even. But no matter how clustered they may seem at first, there’s always a way to fish the most important ones out and live a fulfilling life.

Don’t worry; it is attainable! Let’s take it one step at a time.

5 Tips To Prioritise Your Life

1. Discover Your Passion

Our dreams or ambitions are not mere fantasies; they are evidence that we are not just living corpses but people who have the desire to thrive in being the best version of ourselves and to help solve peculiar problems in society.

2. Direction

Oftentimes, many people think having talent or skills is all it takes. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Sorry to burst your bubble, but indeed, you can have all the talent there ever is, yet without direction. This can be frustrating It may just be that you are good at many things, so you find it hard to specialise. 

It is advisable to have a mentor or someone who can advise you in many areas of life. You could also try volunteering, maybe in a few groups you’re in. 

I would pray to God every day, any time, and anywhere because if He leads you, He will foot the bill.

3. Make Reading a Daily Habit

A wise man once said, He who sits to read, stands to lead.

You don’t just accumulate knowledge when you read; you open up your creative senses to a world of diverse things you never thought possible, and YOU GET UP AND DO THEM!

4. Find A Support Group

Nothing makes life easier than knowing someone shares your dream and vision and believes in you, even when all the odds are against you.

It’s easier for people to believe in you when they see tangible results, but those who stay with you from the beginning….NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED!

This could be your family, spouse, mentor (s), friends, etc.

5. Confront Challenges

Challenges are inevitable if you want to prioritise yourself.

Among these is to know thyself. You can take a personality test here. 
Have any childhood traumas? Learn what the triggers are and gracefully overcome them.

Create boundaries

Over time, you realise that people are only allowed to treat you in certain ways when you allow them. Don’t even start what you cannot and will not tolerate.
Let them know, with wisdom, and make sure it’s backed by action. Do what you say you would do when someone crosses the line. That’s how people learn.
