Know What Count & What Doesn't

There are a lot of thing we have to do and handle in our life. Some of them are important and some are a waste of time doing it. Hence we need to decide what are the things that count in our life and what are things that are not?

For example, things that are important (things that count) could be:

1. Being real and authentic in your life
2. Creating values
3. Having time for love one
4. Being successful in your career or business

Things that are not so important (things that doesn't count) could be:

1. Watching a movie
2. Buying lottery
3. Going shopping
4. Have a relax and chilled day.

The list goes on. I am not saying that my list is the right and correct one. Everyone has their own priority list and what is important to them. You can use the priority matrix to decide what you want to do with each action.

Another example is this, being clean and hygienic is what counts, but to me what brand of washing detergent to use is what doesn't count. At the end, it was the final outcome that counted. All washing detergent will bring me the same or similar results. I am not saying that the process is not important, just not in this one.

Being successful is what counts. At the same time, the process, the mistakes, experience and learning that we go through throughout the journey counts too.

I will be explaining more on the next topic - Dedicate Your life to something. This is because you will know what counts and what doesn't in a much clearer picture when you know what you are dedicating your life to - hence your life purpose.
