Life, love and priorities

I have a friend who’s going through the grinding mill in life. It’s one of those things you don’t want to do when you’re pushing 50, but we do.

So I got a mail from his wife today telling me how they have found life and love through the trials.

And it struck me: there is priorities in life set by nature. You cannot deny them and you cannot change them. If you don’t live your life according to these priorities you will again and again be challenged to set things right.
You can deny it and say no a couple of times but sooner or later you will loose. Depending on where you are you: will get sick, you will loose your job, you will loose your family, you will loose your reputation, you will loose your money or whatever you put highest on your priority list. Put priorities right and you cannot loose.

Here are nature’s top priorities
God
Health, physical & spiritual
Family
Work


Then you can make the list longer:

Personal finance
Friends
Doing good
Leave a legacy and so on.

But the top 4 ones are (according to the gospel of Ekbergh) non negotiable


Here are however most people priorities:
Work
Work
Work
Work
Personal finance
Possibly family
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

What’s yours?

I understand all of the nature's priorities except the god one, how could nature prioritize something manmade? And would that mean that the majority of people below 35 in the western world suddenly stopped caring about nature's number 1?

Good time to review my priorities.
God - I like this
Health, physical & spiritual - I like this too
Family - my family will appreciate this too although I just missed my daughters high school graduation last month
Work - as soon as I find another job or decide what next to do with my life....LOL
