Sometimes people find it difficult to prioritize and define life goals. Among the many factors, it is difficult to identify the main ones. To do this, you need to understand yourself.
Life values
Sometimes, because of the hustle and bustle, a person ceases to see the main thing in life and devotes all his time to trifles. Later, looking back at his life path, he may regret that he existed that way. In order not to regret the past years and not want to start life from scratch again, you need to realize your mission in time.
Different people may have different values. Someone devotes most of their time to work, their favorite business. Another is focused on his family. The third devotes himself to charity, helping other people. And the fourth is wasting precious time. This is not to say that there is some kind of universal highest value in life, which needs to be paid more attention. Everyone must determine for himself what is important to him.
Sometimes it turns out to be the most difficult thing - self-determination, prioritization. But, perhaps, it can be argued that the most important thing in a person's life is to live in harmony with oneself. Only in this case it is possible to feel happy, to understand in which direction one should develop. To feel inner comfort, different things may be needed: the possibility of self-realization, a sense of one's own value for society, the love of relatives, and so on.
Understand yourself
You can understand yourself in different ways. Come up with your ideal life. Pay attention to everything: who is around you, where you live, what you do. The few points that pop into your imagination in the first place are the main ones for you. With the help of such an exercise, you will understand how to build your life, in which direction to move.
You can also remember the happiest moments of your life. It is important what kind of feelings you experienced in the most joyful moments for you and why. Taking an inner look at your past and a careful analysis of the past years will help you understand what is really important to you in life. In addition, you will see how your values changed with age, because different things brought you satisfaction at different periods of your life.
It is equally important to free your mind from various stereotypes in order not to take values that are popular in society for personal ones. It happens that a person is guided by others, takes their priorities as a basis and achieves about the same as other people, and as a result gets one disappointment and emptiness. Listen to yourself. Think about what will bring joy to you.
