The Chief Cause of Failure & Unhappiness Is Trading What We Want Most For What We Want At The Moment!


watching tv The Chief Cause of Failure & UnhappinessLife 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!

  • Thank you my friend. I appreciate your kindness.
  • One the reasons for failure is of course lack of focus
    and lack of consistency.

    Making sure to make the right decisions throughout your day
    and do only what's productive is in fact one of the keys to
    life and business success.

  • Hey Igor

    Well said my friend. By setting your priorities right, you will surely succeed. Self discipline and persistency will be part of that package.
  • Efficiency is doing things right, but effectiveness is doing the right things - P. Drucker
  • So setting priorities begins with deciding what you want most in life and then organizing your time and activities so everything you do is the most valuable use of your time in achieving those objectives.
  • The inability to delay gratification – is the primary cause of economic and personal failure in life.
  • You can tell how important something is today by measuring its potential future impact on your life.
  • The key to success in setting priorities is having a long time perspective.
  • And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace.
  • You have to evaluate your activities in the light of what is really important to you.
  • You must master your time instead of becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time.
