Priorities

Priorities.

Does what you prioritize in life truly match up to your greatest fears and needs and desires, for example, to be as vulnerable and honest as possible? I can tell you that one of my greatest fears in life is that.

I will lose one or both of my twin sons.

What I mean by that is I will actually sometimes wake up at night in a cold sweat with my heart pounding and thoughts deeply disturbed after having had a nightmare in which one of my sons or both of them actually died or abandoned me or abandoned their faith in God. On the flip side, I don't really.

Fear death for myself anywhere near as.

Much as losing my sons. I don't necessarily want to die since I want to fulfill God's purpose for my life as long as I possibly can. But I'm not that nervous or apprehensive or fearful of the process of dying. So now let's step back and look at my priorities in life based on.

The fact that my deeper fear is losing my sons, but my lesser fear is dying.

Where should I spend the majority of my time? Engaged in life extension, anti aging fitness, biohacking and healthy longevity strategies so I can suck as many years as possible out of life or engaged in deep and present time with my sons? Which one? When I realized that my priorities in life at one point didn't necessarily match my fears in life, I personally made.

Some distinct lifestyle decisions to alter how I was living each day so I could prioritize family more and myself less.

So how about you? What are your fears?

Does the way you live your life reflect your fears and your truest priorities? What is it you're afraid of and how are you living your life so.

That you're prioritizing addressing that fear and.

Any deep seated desires that that fear.

Might be stemming from? Alright, if you're not, you're probably stuck in some kind of a hypnotic trance you can read about in books like Napoleon Hill's Outwitting the Devil. So you got to snap yourself out of that hypnotic trance and congratulations, the first step in that process is recognition of the necessity of doing that.

You may also need to embrace the discomfort of shredding the shell of a.

Character you currently identify with, like the successful CEO or the hardcore athlete, or.

The person who never ages, etc. So you can embrace the character God.

Has actually called you to be.

Like the inspirational author, the best parent in the world, the number one dad, the number one mom, the number one son, the number one daughter, the aged wise mentor, etc. Otherwise, you might someday encounter a version of hell. Namely, meeting the man or woman you could have been but never became because you were so caught up in shallow desires and pursuits that you never actually.

Recognize your true calling and highest priority in life. That's a pretty good definition of hell.

So where do you want to stand?

Thanks for watching.
