His priorities are straight, are yours?

Recently, I talked to a man who, at a young age, hit his goal. He had spent more than a decade working his way up the company ladder and he was in control of a division. From that position, he did not like the view.

The view was many hours at work and very few hours at home. The view was missing ballgames and other family moments that he knew he would never get back. He decided it was not worth it. So he stepped down from that position and got a job, with much less pay, and much more time. As he put it, he has never been happier.

I am not suggesting that you need to follow his footsteps. But, I think it is important for all of us to take a step back and assess our priorities. A readjustment of priorities will always come with decisions and trade offs. More time with family could possibly mean less things. For the man in our example, it was simple and his family supported his decision.

This week, find some quiet time and just think. What are your priorities? What is important? Remember, we have one shot on this earth, make sure that you give it your best. And your best usually does not mean things.
