What do your actions reveal about what you truly value?
This is a challenging question to confront.
I know this because whenever I have asked myself this, I haven't always been pleased with the answer.
I have always claimed that "Family comes first."
However, my actions haven't always aligned with that statement.
At times, work obligations, financial responsibilities, friendships, and even my own selfishness have demanded my attention, causing me to prioritize them over my family.
I have witnessed many individuals come to this realization and then face a decision: "Do I continue down this path or make adjustments?"
Regrettably, too many of us have chosen not to make changes, sacrificing our Families for these distractions.
Now, these distractions aren't inherently bad. In fact, it's important to take care of ourselves, work hard to sustain our financial stability, and invest in friendships. The problem arises when these distractions become more than just a temporary phase or an excuse to avoid addressing issues at Home.
Let me encourage you: your Family deserves the best version of you. They deserve the same level of effort, if not more, that we put into improving ourselves and our careers. In fact, they are entitled to it.
So, I ask you once again,
"What do your actions reveal about what you truly value?"
If you dislike the answer, today is an opportune moment to make a positive change. We cannot change yesterday, but, we can create tomorrow.
