Priority can be
defined as an element, fact, or a condition in your life that is being regarded
as more important among else or among others. Your priorities will always be
different from other people. However, what makes your life complicated is that
you don’t know what you are prioritizing.
In this blog, you will be able to identify your priorities through the given Personality Test and I will also share to you the ideal order of priorities to maintain a work-life balance.
PERSONALITY TEST
Disclaimer: This personality test comes from rumkin.com and is not personally owned by the author of this blog. This is used to further help the readers to assess what they are prioritizing.
Let’s begin:
You were left in your house and suddenly all of the things below are happening at once. Rank them as to what will you attend first and what will be the last. Interpretation of the result is given after the test so please be honest with yourself.
- Baby is crying
- Telephone is ringing
- Doorbell is sounding
- It’s starting to rain and you have a dry laundry still hang outside.
- The water faucet in the kitchen is running.
What will you attend first?
What’s the second thing will you attend to?
What comes third?
What’s next?
What comes fifth/last?
Interpretation
These are the following representations of the conditions/situations presented above.
- Baby – represents your family
- Telephone – represents your job or career
- Doorbell – represents your friends
- Laundry – represents your pleasures
- Running water – your money or wealth
Were you also amazed by the result or were you laughing with it right now?
This time, I want to share to you the ideal order of our priorities so that we may be able to achieve a work-life balance. Some elements here were not found in the above personality test but all of the things written in here are still essential.
SIX F’s TO HAVE A WORK-LIFE BALANCE
6th: FUN
The fifth element to have a work-life balance is to have fun in what you are doing. When I say have fun, you must also take control of yourself. Sometimes, because of “lack of self-control” it leads you to a mere destruction and not to a real happiness.
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life – be happy. It’s all that matters.” said by Audrey Hepburn. There will be many challenges along the way. All you need to do is to have a positive disposition in facing those challenges. Lastly, have fun in dealing with your other priorities which will be revealed after this.
5th: FINANCES
They say that the love of money is the source of all evil and some say that it’s not about the love of it but it’s about the lack of it. I say, they both are true. We cannot deny the fact that money is one of the important commodities in our life right now but do not put it on top; make it as your fifth priority.
Our wealth comes from our job or career; give importance to where and what you are working with right now. Respect your boss and the authorities for they are in the position but do not give your 100% life to them. Do your best not because of the reward but because you are a person with dignity and integrity. You do things with excellence not because you are told to do so but because that is what you are capable of and that is what you love to do.
By the way, let’s strive not to become a slave of money; let’s let money be our slaves. I wish to share to you financial advices but I am not an expert of this. You may try to visit www.pinayteenvestor.com for financial ideas.
4TH: FITNESS
Fitness talks about your health and when I say health, it covers all the aspects of health such as the Physical, Mental, and Emotional Health.
- Be healthy physically – your body needs rest and relaxation. Do some exercise or recreational activities that somehow helps in burning your “baby fats”.
- Be healthy mentally – do not limit yourself to what you already know. Be eager to learn new things. A stagnant life is a worst-living life.
- Be healthy emotionally – practice positivity in your life so that you will transfer positive vibes and energy. Do not dwell so much on the negative things happening in your life, that can never help you.
If you keep investing on your holistic fitness, you will look vibrant and beautiful always. Remember, beauty doesn’t comes from the “outside”; it comes from the “inside” to the “outside”. Please stay beautiful!
3rd: FRIENDS
Put your friends on the third spot of your priorities. They are your angels on earth. Make sure to spend time with them like having some cups of tea with a never-ending chit chats. The beauty of our digital world is that you don’t need to spend much time just to ask your friends how they are. You just need to have at least P10.00 to buy load for you to text or chat them right away.
Hi friend! How are you? I hope you are having a great day and a great life. I miss you so much. Can you do a favor for me to please send this to your friends? Thanks!
2nd: FAMILY
Desmond Tutu once said, “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” Your family is a gift from God to you that will last a lifetime. Put them as your second priority above other things here on earth.
Children, follow your parent’s righteous commands for they have the gift of knowledge and wisdom. Wives, you must submit to your husband so that your husband can lead the family. It is the duty of the husband to love the wife just like how Christ loves the church.
Your family needs you the most that is why you must leave all the previous F’s if they are asking for your time. Do not spend so much time having fun, and earning a living, concerning your fitness, and building good relationship with your friends without even spending a little time for your family.
If your family is the best gift, I bet you will take care of it because it’s precious to you.
1st: FAITH
“Faith” means you put God first in all the things that you do for He is the reason of all these things. He will take care of our businesses, family and life if we will put Him first. He deserves to be our first priority.
Imagine how God has spent much of His time to create this earth (first to sixth day of creation) and yet He just asked us to rest and spend time with Him for a day (seventh day of creation). Let us not just call Him when we are broken or when we need His help. I hope that everyone of us will call Him always through our prayers, devotion, and attending church. I hope that everyone of us will do righteous things and strive to follow His commands. Though we may fail in striving to be righteous but His grace remains.
