- Love & Relationships
- Beliefs
- Education & Self-improvement

My order is: 3, 4, 6, 8, 5, 7, 9, 1, 2

This was surprisingly hard for me - I wanted a list of my priorities as they are, and another list as I wish they were.
Anyway, here's what I came up with:
1. Home
2. Love & Relationships
3. Education & Self-improvement
4. Travel
5. Beliefs
6. Work & Career
7. Creativity & Self-expression
8. Health
9. Money
I think that is all true.

Some of these don't make sense to me, like Home. It matters a great deal to me that I live in Seattle but it doesn't matter to me at all that I've yet to decorate the walls in my place.

Actually, swap home/money for me. Money is more important than home.

This was a very interesting list to make because what I think are my priorities and what I actually do in my life might not be the same at times. For example, health is super important to me, but those who see me partying my ass off all the time might care to differ? Also Work & Career is fairly tied to money for me. And lastly, beliefs? I had a hard time even conceptualizing this as a priority. I'm sorta categorizing it as how important it is for me to keep my head straight - aka stay positive & watch that my thoughts are not working against the goals I have for myself. Thanks for posting this!

oh... and in that same vein of viewing my priorities in terms of what I think they are vs. what I do now... my creativity gets pushed all too often below work & career. But I'm trying to change that and meld the two a bit more!

This is hard but..
1. Creativity and Self-Expression
2. Love & Relationships
3. Work & Career
4. Home
5. Education & Self-Improvement
6. Health
7. Travel
8. Beliefs
9. Money
I was kinda shocked to find money at the bottom. In the midst of everyday, it seems so much more important than it is. It is satisfying to see it in its proper place.
Unfortunately health landed in its proper spot also. Maybe that is an indicator that I need to pay more attention to my body. I could quit smoking, start exercising again, stop the assault of chemicals...
I wish that those Easy buttons from the Staples commercials really existed. Health would be the lucky category that got the Easy button treatment.
Hey robots, if you are so smart, why haven't you created a real life easy button?! Oh yeah, cause it would make 43T obsolete. Don't let that stop you! ;)

I've added another item to the list. My cat is number one. I could have counted him under 'Love & Relationships' but this would have been misleading as in general L & R are not very important to me.

I'm really surprised Health isn't closer to the top of most peoples list. I'm assuming most of you have never had serious health problems. The importance of everything else sort of just vanishes in the face of serious health problems. I watched somebody die of cancer at 30, and let me tell you career, home, travel, and anything else you can think of didn't even register on his radar.
Anyway:
Health
Love & Relationships
Education & Self-Improvement
Work & career
Creativity & self-expression
Travel
Money
Beliefs (mine are fluid, adapting to the moment)
Home

To add to this... it's hard for me to imagine a situation where "creativity" and "beliefs" can be withheld from someone, which may account for why they are low on my list.
Creativity is a type of intelligence, if you will. Would I sacrifice intelligence for travel or money? Definitely not. So, depending on how you look at it, it may belong right under Health.
Likewise, it's hard for me to imagine how someone can control my beliefs. Would a possible scenario be... you can have $500,000, but only if you let us brainwash you into being a devote (insert Muslim, Hindu, Christian, etc... here). Definitely not.
Posted by: e | Apr 04, 2007 at 02:23 PM
Mine are (highest to lowest) 6, 4, 3, 9, 2, 7, 8, 5 and 1.
It's hard for me to divorce health and some other subjects. I mean, if you're like me and you include mental health in health than stuff like "love & relationships" or "travel" takes on a new meaning. It becomes a part of health. (Studies show that people with more confidants are happier.)
As for beliefs, I think that whether or not your beliefs are correct is less important as to whether or not they benefit you. If you believe that life is beautiful, it doesn't matter whether or not it's true, if it keeps you going it keeps you going. (Beauty is a relative measure.)
Nietzche spoke on the subject [paraphrased]: "We do not reject a belief merely because is false."
This isn't the same as delusions which hurt the victim of them causing them to act in ways which are bad in the situation.

A round trip is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from his/her usual residence to one or several locations and returns. A trip can also be part of a round trip.
