Many of us only give whatever time we have left over after work, surviving and sleeping to the things we truly love and value. We have to turn that equation around. If you look at your life, you should be spending your time doing the things you love. It is not enough to Viagra Professional just know what you love. Do you live your life according to what you love and value? Do you allocate enough time to the things you truly love?

In our consumerism focused society, I believe we sometimes hold ourselves back from doing what we love because of lack of money, or lack of time due to work constraints, when we are bound to work to pay for consumerable items we purchased on credit.

Why is it that we feel the need to buy newer cars, better furniture, bigger television screens, speakers with greater clarity, the latest mobile phone, when in most cases the phone you had was OK, you already could watch your favourite program on your current TV, your current furniture was perfectly comfortable? What is it that makes us continually spend and upgrade to have the latest gadgets and gismo’s?

If money is no object, that is OK, but the challenge is many of us purchase these items using credit cards or personal loans, in other words, using money we don’t have. And we have to pay a premium on that money in the form of interest payments. In order to pay for our personal debt, we have to work harder.

If you love and value having the finer things in life, that is OK. However if you value quantity and quality time with your family, or financial freedom, maybe these values are in conflict.

Be careful that you are not in a situation that you must work harder and harder to pay for consumerables that society influences us to buy, rather than what you truly value. If material items are not reflected in your values, ask yourself if you really need them.

OK, so you have started to think about what you love and value in life. That is a great start. However identifying what you value is only the first step. You now need to ensure you are living your life in accordance with what you love and value. I have found that whenever parts of my life are in conflict with what I value, I feel frustrated, agitated and emotional.

Here’s an example. One of my jobs was a State Human Resources Officer with a large national company. I soon came to learn that a high percentage of my time was dealing with employee issues and managing workplace relationships and conflicts.

Now I value independence, self-motivation, being accountable for your own actions and taking responsibility for yourself. So suddenly dealing with people who were blaming others, not taking responsibility and causing problems in the workplace extremely frustrated me. I just wanted to say to them, deal with it, get over it, if you don’t like it, change it or get out. Obviously as the State Human Resources Officer, I couldn’t say that. I was in a job that required me to act in complete conflict with what I value.

Obviously, I was unhappy, frustrated and stressed in this role. So I changed it and got out!

The answer to many of our frustrations, heartaches or challenges can often be found by recognising that you are living in conflict with what you value. You are not truly spending your time doing what you love. Are you doing what you love?
