Prioritizing what values the most

Tweet

In life, there are so many things that we value. Most of them we can't live without. Some would say the most valuable thing in their life would be their life partner or family. Some would even say their job matters most. Even a young child would say his/her favorite toy. No matter what it is (or what they are) or who they are, each one of us really values someone or something in life. Well, as for me, I value my family the most. They are the reason why i'm giving my very best in my work right now. I want to give back to my parents and share what I have with my siblings. However, it just suddens me when I realized that there are times I tend to put my work as my top priority over my family. By the way, I'm working from another city away from my hometown. When I started my work, I used to call them at least twice a week. But now, when I get too busy in the office, I sometimes call them once a week the most. I can't deny the fact that there really are times when tasks becomes more important than the people for whom I do the tasks for due to deadlines and the like. It's a good thing a friend of mine reminded me that my family is more important than my work. Spending some quality time communicating with my family somewhow bridges our gap from each other. And it's how I can show to them that they are important to me, more important than work, and that no matter how busy I get, they are always remembered. How about you? Do you tend to make other priorities more important than those you value the most?
