The Importance of Prioritizing

We often prioritize work and superficial pursuits over the things that truly matter, such as being a better parent or partner. While we dedicate time and effort to improving our careers or physical fitness, we tend to neglect the importance of personal growth in our relationships and family life. Being a good parent and partner should be a specific priority, separate from self-improvement. It is crucial to put the same energy into becoming informed and effective in parenting as we do in staying updated with news and other interests. Our actions and choices should directly contribute to our improvement as parents, not just as individuals.

We spend so much time at the office, trying to get better at our jobs, trying to make a little more money, trying to climb further up the ladder. We spend hours in the gym over the course of a life, trying to get into better shape, trying to hit personal records. We spend mountains of time online, trying to help our fantasy football teams, trying to find discount codes to save money shopping, trying to stay abreast of our friends’ and families’ lives (or so we tell ourselves).
