Monday Morning Motivation – First
By: Curt Stowers
Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially
Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement—along with a good cup of coffee!—to start the day.
Hopefully the message below will help you get off to a good start for the week. Please feel free to forward the newsletter on to others that you think would benefit from the content.
First
First is a word that gets thrown around a lot:
- “I finished in first place.”
- “First, we need to . . . ”
- “In the first place . . . ”
It is interesting how quickly and easily we position that something or someone “comes before everyone else.” While we certainly must prioritize, the question that I think is worth considering is whether we are CONSCIOUSLY deciding on what is first in our lives.
The priorities—in order—that I have established for my life are faith, family, friends, fitness and finances. Unfortunately, and I am not proud of this, sometimes I mess up and get these out of sequence. Fortunately, I have friends and family around me who gently remind me when I do so, and this helps me to get things back in alignment.
That brings us to this week’s question:
- What do you put first?
Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.
Have a great week!
