Priorities in Life

Many of us unconsciously give more or most of our time to pleasure. Pleasure in a sense that we do not realise that it will be accompanied by pain later part. 

Yes, that's right :Pleasure is accompanied by pain if we do not take account for it! 

Pleasure is doing what you feel like doing even though your mind or heart says you should not. At some point in our life later, we are all going to regret what we did for the sake of pleasure.

However, if the pleasure is done after we actually achieve something in our daily routines or in our expertise, then it might be something that we do not regret of. Let's say you got a raise in your job after all that hard work and hours of impressing your boss, definitely you will want to pat yourself with something that will give you a pleasure of your life. And this is not wrong and it won't end up as something you regret doing I bet. =)

Here are some examples that defines giving importance to pleasure:

Not hitting the gym just because you did not want to miss your favourite show on tv!! 

Not studying for that test just because you think there is 2 more days left to go through your notes. So,instead you watch your favourite movie on the television. 

Not rescheduling your time to meet with your clients because you think it's okay to miss a client for once, after all it's not going to affect the entire performance of the company right !

And the list may go on......

That's not good at all. In fact, you will definitely end up regretting that you misused the time. After all once time is gone, you can't get it back at any cost. No matter how much we wish we could turn that clock around.  Who wants to be in that position right??? 

Time is money. Yes, we have all heard that quote from somewhere at least once in our life. But the BIG question is : What are we doing with the time we have right now? 

• Is it being used wisely?
• Does it give me benefit when I have used all of that time?

Why is it always hard to start doing something in the beginning??

Based on my personal experience in life, I find that when we start doing something useful in our life, it's at that particular time when our subconscious mind will deceive us in doing unworthy things or other unimportant stuffs. Blame our mind huh.. ;-)
I believe it all comes back to controlling our desire and ourselves.

When we can take control of our actions, then we take control of our reactions as well. Everything is well embedded within us. 
As long we decide and take action right away thinking about the end in mind!

It is always hard in the beginning, but when you reach the end trust me it will be easy and you will thank yourself for using your time in that beneficial way. 

The moment when you realise everything in life is temporary and you want to make good use of what is left and be one of the top productive people in the world. Yes, YOU! Why not be one of the top 20% of the productive people in the world??

I won't say that it is impossible to throw away your pleasure fulfilling desires, but it is possible by taking small steps to disregard it. After all we are normal human beings, it will take huge determination and willpower and also a strong discipline within us to fully create a lifetime that will give us the ultimate happiness.

Have a wonderful day and spend your time wisely =)
