THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY ON - PRIORITIES

"It's good to have money and the things money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things money can't buy." - George Horace Lormier

"You are always free to choose what you do first, what you do second, and what you do not do at all." - Brian Tracy

"Keep in mind that you are always saying 'no' to something. If it isn't to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it." - Stephen Covey

"Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things." - Jim Rohn

Priorities vs. Goals - What's The Difference?
By Keith Rosen

It's critical to recognize how productive you are or how much you are actually accomplishing each day. Honoring an effective routine is the greatest measurement for continued success, since it is aligned with your goals and lifestyle.

Develop other measurements of success such as daily, weekly and monthly milestones so that you can recognize your achievements along the way rather than relentlessly striving to achieve more with no end in sight.

Turn your binoculars around so that you are magnifying what you are doing and minimizing what you aren't.

Definition:
Priorities: What is most important and meaningful in your life today (activities, values, beliefs, lifestyle, principles, standards, hobbies, integrity, etc.) that you are not willing to compromise or sacrifice in pursuit of something else (a goal)?

Goals: A future based anticipated expectation, possibility, end result or experience you are working towards creating, achieving or bringing to fruition that has not yet been realized in the present.

Comparisons:
Present Focused vs. Future Focused
What Is Happening vs. What Will/May Be
In The Present vs. In The Future

Example:
John had a goal of being a top producer in his company. As such, he looked at the other top producers and the activities they engage in which make them successful. The top salespeople are working twelve hour days, sometimes even seven days a week. Thinking, "It worked for them, so I guess I should do that too," he decided to give up a chunk of his family/personal time and other enjoyable activities/hobbies in his quest to become financially successful. Although John's priority was spending time with his family, he didn't understand why he felt miserable and encountered resistance while attempting to achieve this goal.

Once he created a personal strategy and a routine for achieving his own bigger goals that supported his lifestyle and priorities without having to sacrifice what matters most to him, he was able to reach his goals with less effort and enjoyed the process even more.

Key Points:
If you are encountering resistance while attempting to reach certain goals or performing certain tasks, chances are it's either something you really don't want to be doing, an old goal that may not serve you anymore (a should) or you are operating from someone else's agenda (also a should)! The bottom line is, these goals don't support your priorities and you'll continue to feel "off" throughout your pursuit of these misaligned goals.

Take the time to align your goals with your priorities. Otherwise, you'll feel confined or powerless to make changes, allowing situations, circumstances or other people to influence or control you. Discover what YOU truly want by aligning your goals with the priorities in your life rather than the "shoulds."

The fact is, "Should-based goals" do not support your priorities or personal vision. So, if you are unsure whether the goal, activity or task classifies as a "should," take a look at your lifestyle, values and priorities and see if they are all in alignment. If the goal doesn't support them, it's a "should."

Benefit Of Getting This Distinction:
At the end of the day, your goals need to be aligned with your priorities. Honor the priorities in your life by making them non-negotiable. Before you map out your goals, determine the priorities in your life that you're not willing to sacrifice. This way, you can identify the activities you need to engage in and what you are willing to give up today (maybe even a conscious, short - term sacrifice of certain priorities) in pursuit of a bigger dream tomorrow.

When your goals are aligned and balanced with your priorities, natural strengths and talents, you'll maintain your integrity, feel calmer and will experience greater peace of mind and fulfillment while traveling on your path to achieving bigger goals and meaningful, long lasting results.

Once you can orient your life around your priorities, you'll have fewer goals that you'll feel compelled to attain or be driven (consumed) by. If you design your life and career around what is most important to you on a daily basis, you'll avoid becoming hooked or attached to creating something 'better' at a future point in time, which can rob you of the quality of your life today.

Related Distinctions:
Ego vs. Self
Wants vs. Shoulds
Needs vs. Values
Hooked On The Future/Attached To The Outcome vs. Living In The Present
Shoulds vs. Goals
