Work priorities, personal priorities

 How does one have a balance between your work and other responsibilities in life?


It’s important in life while you enter the professional field, to know how much time you really want to give to your work. People often have a hard time trying to figure that out, and can get caught up in the wrong priorities. How do you think you should prioritize your time? I think that is a questions people can answer if they think deeply about how happy not only they are, but their family or friends are. 

For me, I think that my work sometimes will require more time away from my family, than I would want. Sometimes this can happen, but we cannot let it start to become a regular, often occurrence. When work or your business takes too much time each week away from your family and home, you will start to notice a difference in how your relationship with your family is. 

One thing I’ve learned is that you need to plan your work and business, around your family, not the other way around. You should not plan your family around your business or work. This will teach your family what is most important to you, which would be your work then. I think that your business partners, clients, or coworkers would respect and understand your values then. This shows them that you put family before others, which can be hard for clients or coworkers, but it means your values stand firm.

How to Discover Who You Truly Are

 Do you know what your passion is?     One of the things that I've learned this week is that you need take time to truly think about your life, where you are going, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. We need to map our goals out, and list 'stepping stones' that will get us there,-which can be different jobs, experiences/opportunities, volunteering, or other network connections, like meeting people. We need to take control of what happens in life, and not just go through life passively. When you know what your passion is, then you can take control of your life and feel your purpose. In order to have a fulfilling life, we need to take action steps to work towards building that purpose.     One of the things that Randy Pausch was able to do, was to live his life intentionally, following what I stated above. He challenged the things that stopped him, put a block in the road, and were an obstacle for him. He let his dreams move him and lead him to a...

Gratitude

 How to be grateful at all times Have you ever thought about why it's hard to be grateful even in hard times? Why do people say it's important to be grateful in times when life is hard? I feel like people often say that, but we don't hear the reason why it's important to be grateful, especially why to have that attitude in hard times. It's easy to be thankful when life's going well, and you have what you want, and nothing is changing too much. However, we forget all the sudden the good things we have, when something bad comes along all too often.  In the videos about an attitude of gratitude, and the readings that I had this week for my class about how to be grateful and positive, really helped me understand what it actually means to be grateful. We usually think of it as being thankful for what is happening in life at the moment and thankful for what we have. But, I think I learned that it means not letting those negative things that can happen in life, affect...

How to Dream

 How to Dream Big Have you ever thought about what it means to have a dream? What do you remember from when you were little, and said 'I want to be _____ when I grow up?' We often forget about those dreams when we grow older. Why did we have that dream when we were little, then? What is it about children that makes them feel like they deserve those dreams or that they are capable of achieving them? You have to remember when you were little and confident in yourself, to remember who you are really inside. Often, we can still really keep those dreams in mind when we grow up. When we keep those dreams, we can feed ourselves hope and a purpose in life. In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you need to think about the general theme and main reasons for your dreams that you had when you were a child. This can help you figure out what you really want out of your business that you are creating now, and why. This will drive your vision for your business today. I think that ...
