When you understand the steps needed to take you to the next level, the only way you can feel content about your life is if you are living according to the priorities you have set. Other people may not understand your choices or your lifestyle, & may even ridicule you for them but when you know why you're making certain choices, their criticism doesn't matter.
Prioritize your relationships: If you can't build relationships, you are being torn down. Building relationships takes time that people often aren't willing to devote, partly because time is a limited resource for us all. Most of us have , at one time or another, spent a lot of energy, time and effort investing in relationships that show little return. Do your current relationships help you in advancement, growth or in alignment with your vision. Most people would rather you waste their money versus their time. The true barometer to help you evaluate the relationships to invest in must center on this significant question:
"How does this person fit into my destiny and my purpose?
Priorities can require us to find new friends and associates!
Prioritize your finances: Financial advisors have a saying that if you are sitting on your assets, your priorities are all wrong. Look at how you spend your money. Are you obsessed with the latest electronic gadget, name brand clothes, shoes, purses or a brand new vehicle? Can you drive a car for years after it's paid for? Can you shop for clothes at thrift stores or that aren't name brand? There's nothing wrong with shopping for quality, but the clothes you wear & he car you drive can never make you great. Destiny has nothing to do with impressing other people with the things you own.
You were created in the image of God and that's the only image that matters. Prioritize your spending so you can be free to travel the road of Destiny. You can't be free to pursue Destiny if you're a slave to debt & spending. Choosing to live your dream may mean quitting your job to pursue your calling, but if you're up to your ears in debt, you can't walk away from that job.
Prioritize what's important for you to fulfill your dream: It's miserable living someone else's life & it's suffocating to live beneath your potential. There is no reward in achieving someone else's plans for your life, yet people will constantly try to suck you into their agenda. Other people always have an opinion about what you should do with your life. Your parents may have their own idea or agenda on what career you should pursue because it's a steady paycheck but if that career isn't reflective of your destiny, it's no good. Set your priorities for Destiny and forget about what other people want for you, no matter how well-meaning their intentions. Only you can have vision for your life, so only you can determine what's most important to getting there. Live in pursuit of destiny rather in pursuit of other people's approval.
Cultivate a Great Mind and Leave Behind Small Thinking: If you don't prioritize your life & the things that are important to you, you'll get off focus and start investing your energy in trivial matters like who lied to you, who's gossiping about someone else. Your destiny is greatness. Greatness runs deep, but pettiness runs shallow and wide.
"If any of you lack wisdom, ask God who will give it to all & upbraideth not; & it shall be given to him." ~ James 1:5
God will reveal, guide and lead you to your destiny as you seek him wholeheartedly, consistently and persistently. Walk in purpose by finding your Destiny.
