When it comes to how i would prioritize money, happiness, and meaning i dont find it very difficult.
The least important to me would be money. i hate to say it lol but it is true. i love the things money gets me but i can do without them as long as i have happiness and feel like there is a sense of meaning in my life. Not that my family is poor but we didnt always have money and it didnt bother me, so in the logn run i could do without the cash as long as i have happiness and meaning.
The second priroity would have to be meaning, I think that I must having meaning behind what i do. I teach karate to 4-5 year old and to be honest it is not becuase i find them adorable or becuase i need that job; i wish i could quit that job becuase it takes up a lot of my time. I cant find it in myself to leave it though becuase i might save one of the munchkins lives and if i save one then it is worth it. They need to be taught how to defend themselves and someone has to do it, so i do. I also apply this idea to what i want to do when im done with college. I would like to be the person that makes sure a company follows the guidlines for how "clean" they are becuase many people are ignorant to what the companies are pumping into their surroundings and dont realize the affect it has one them. I know it sounds kind of Big Brother of me, i mean if someone wants to live in a crappy place i shouldnt stop them, but at least i can warn then, which is a lot better than most people do.
The most important to me is happiness i dont care if it is self centered it is very true. If the whole world fell apart i would like to be surrounded with my family and us just simply be happy. It sounds mean but i do stuff for other people and they never return the favor and i am getting sick of it. When i was little i always thought that non-profit organizations were so nice helping all the people they do, but now a days so much of that money goes to just running the machine that poor Tommy may only get 8 cents of my dollar and that isnt right, so i just dont donate becuase i will not support people that run those types of machines. The only person i truly feel the need to help indefinitly is my dad becuase he has always been there and helps me blindly. Another person i always want to help is my boyfriend even though i never tell him, becuase his head would get big, is that he is always there for me, he may not be a mushy as i am and understand feelings but he tries to do so much for me that i just want to squeeze him and tell him to stop.
When it comes to the order of these one must consider even if they sound self-centered what their order honestly is and if they dont like how they look at things then may be they can go around and start having experiences that would change their life and how they look at things.
