The Chief Cause of Failure & Unhappiness

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Life is all about priorities. You need to get your priorities right if you want to succeed and experience happiness in your life. Many people know what is important to them, they know the activities they have to engage in to succeed and yet still they find themselves selling themselves short. Failure and unhappiness comes because someone decides to put off working on their most important priorities for the sake of fulfilling the lust of temporary pleasures.

Sometimes it requires you to sacrifice watching some TV programs for the sake of accomplishing your goals. Sometimes you got to put off spending a lot of your time with friends for the sake of accomplishing your goals. There are so many tempting things out there, but the problem is, they only satisfy us in the present moment, they’ve got nothing to do with securing our ideal future of abundance and happiness. Your future can only be better if you get your priorities right. Daily, deal with your main important priorities first before you decide to do anything that is not productive.

Watch out for daily interruptions such as reading emails, answering mobile or cellular phone, watching TV, surfing the web with no direction, talking on the phone for many hours with friends, family members who wants your attention anytime of the day, pets, delivery people, new ideas, etc

In as much as you might be tempted to put off your most productive tasks to deal with unimportant tasks, my advice is, don’t listen to that voice. Don’t yield to that temptation, don’t follow that path. It leads to failure and unhappiness. I am not saying you shouldn’t read emails, play with kids, watch TV or anything. I am saying, you need to priorities your daily activities wisely. I know you want to be happy and succeed in life. So my advice to you is, get your priorities right!
