Money plus Happiness divided by Priorities
Take five minutes and write down a dozen or so priorities in your life as they are right now, in no particular order.
Do not think about them, just jot them down.
If you finish early, here's a random happy duck while you're waiting.
Ok, take a look at what you wrote. These things are important to you.
You may have things like Steemit, My Wife, My Children, Friends, Build Business, Painting, Making Money, Travel, Freedom.
Now number these priorities in order of importance of happiness. The number one thing that brings you the most inner happiness #1, etc. If you are married or a parent, those might be near the top of your list- assuming your spouse still likes you and you don't have teenagers.
Your favorite hobby is probably pretty high up, and for most of us our time spent within the Steemit community will be rated highly.
But you might have noticed that Making Money is not near the top of your list.
Making a living is a necessity, but it does not bring you joy. Sure it can make your life easier by way of security, but making money does not make you happy.
Now that you have prioritized your life based upon what you care about the most. It's clear what makes your life worth living.
Keep this list handy- post it on your fridge to remind yourself there is much more to life than making money.
Don't let life pass you by while you're trying to build one.

The easiest way for me throughout many years was to write down my values and then arrange them in priority. I was assisted in this exercise by thinking about living or dead folk or even fictional characters that I admired. My top value is integrity. It gives teeth to my second (love) and the rest of my short list. Then my dreams/goals made sense, as they fit like a hand in a glove with my values.
Brilliant!
A perfect explanation <3

Not sure what it says about me, but nothing (other than "enjoying writing on Steemit") on my list had even a peripheral connection to making money or making a living. Might explain why we're always broke!

Agree with you. Once in a while we ought to reflect what matters to us most in order not to derail from our real objectives.
Precisely. It's so easy to get wrapped up in a habit of working that we forget to enjoy life :)
