It might also explain why you find people who have great jobs but are miserable on the inside. Their reasons might be just wrong.

I escpecially like: "If your priority is happiness, then your daily actions should support that priority right now," Also, from your feedbak, I especially like: "- the happy person!: does things that he/she enjoys in the present and that also bring future benefit!" Great post Hunter. I escpecially like:

“If your priority is happiness, then your daily actions should support that priority right now,”

For example, writing fiction is a priority to me. It makes me happy and it follows through on my goal of getting published. Many days, however, pass without me writing - why? Because I'm scared that I'm going to mess up along the way and waste a whole bunch of effort. If I just looked at it from the point of priorities, then I'd question my commitment to wanting to get published, but when I add in fear, I see what the real problem is and work at ways of diminishing or working through the fear. But that's a whole other topic and this post is an excellent place to start. I also think fear keeps us from following through on commitments. For example, writing fiction is a priority to me.

That will help us to sort out our priorities in life. Cheers Vincent Personal Development Blogger Hi Hunter,

If we want to find our priorities in life, we should list out our values and stack them according to what we feel that is the most important to us. That will help us to sort out our priorities in life.

Without something concrete to aim at it's impossible to ever reach - by definition the target just isn't there. The human brain is brilliant at handeling abstract concepts, it's the reason language exists - a sting of wiggly lines strung together to form a pattern that's actually meaningful to the mind. But at the same time, the brain is just rubbish at handling other abstract concepts, especially when it's a goal like "I want get be fit" or "I want to get rich" These things need to be nailed down to concrete stepwise goals, otherwise the brain will just discard this abstract concept in a short amount of time Patrick <a href="http://veryevolved.com/" rel="nofollow">veryevolved.com</a> Define, define, define!

I love that, so true. And I'd also really like what you said about adding the little things to make the journey more enjoyable. It's not like we or I guess I should speak for myself, I don't know these things, but sometimes I can forget and I can get lost in the routine, so thanks for the reminder : ) “if you’re spending that extra time doing something you don’t enjoy, then what do you get from living longer?”
