Money, Success or Family Most men are literally killing themselves to produce “a better world” for their family. Some fathers work themselves to death in order to provide their family with all its needs , they drive themselves physically exhausted to prove that they are good family man. These men is a success in this area, yet, wives/ mothers also surely know that money is not a substitute for love, that success is not a substitute for satisfaction and companionship.
There is nothing bad with money, no question about that. Money is fun to spend and a loving family can have a lot of fun spending it together. Making money can be fun too, and ought to be- just as long as it isn’t the only kind of fun a man knows. Let me share this quote: *“****The best expression of LOVE is TIME.****”* – by Rick Warren I’ve read this book few months ago and trust me, it contains lots of sound and practical wisdom. On this part of the book alone, we will understand that we must know how to deal with time, and balance it with our walk on our career – for money or success, and our family too. **How to juggle all these?**
**Setting priorities**. Make it a habit to set a priority of things each day. For instance, today : you have a family day at school with your child, but unfortunately a client meeting too at the same time. Which is your priority? **Time Management**. You might be good in multi- tasking, or you might want to learn this art. **Stop Procrastinating**. If you want to do something, do it now. Just this morning I’ve read somewhere in Facebook, about this certain man wanted to treat his mom for a vacation, but because of work it never came true and just sad that his mom left him for good. **Self- Control**. You might think this isn’t necessary but no, it’s not bad to push yourself to greater heights but if this motivation narrows you to become so self- sufficient. Pause a bit, think and control yourself. Remember: you need your family, your family needs you. These might not be enough to juggle all things at once. But, one might get you moving in the right direction. Obviously, we can’t change the kind of age we are living now - high cost of living, and competitive ladder to success. But we can try to find ways to help ourselves or our partners to love life more than money or success.

I enjoyed reading this. Time management is very important. What's the use of gaining all the money in the world and then losing the people you love in the province of chasing such dreams. You're right in saying there's nothing wrong with making money but everyone should try to maximize their time and make time for the important things in life like family and friends. Thanks for this article.
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment. Having a family can really make our hands full of responsibilities, and that's a challenge.
The only success in life is to be happy. Everything else is a side issue. We do not buy happiness with money, and if we think so, we are only mistaken.
We all aspire to be happy, but actually what we need is contentment.
Money, success and family are all both of these three are the most important aspect in our. I think if the one who are born with a family of lots of money are one of those luckiest person ion the planet as they have money already it is just up to them on what path they will make to earn a success in life and eventually have their own family.
That would be perfect, but unfortunately some stories of the rich don't come that way. They're also struggling with a lot of things. Thanks for your thoughts.
I held my tears when reading this article, so true TIME is the most essential. I have been living away with my daughter because of my work and it's just this pandemic that I get to focus and give my full attention to her; teaching her, walk with her to the beach, play and witness every milestone of her life. And these are the most precious time of my life.
You know this pandemic have its own pros and cons, and what you mentioned are the things that we can thank of from what this time brings. I hope you all the best with your family my friend, trust me with God's help you'll be doing fine :) Btw, thanks for the upvote!
Thank my friend, I always trust in His ways and I know I am in good hands🙏 welcome, keep inspiring😍
Thanks dear, we are in good hands if we lean on to God🙏
You are so welcome, keep inspiring!
It is hard to choose between money, success and family or we shouldn't even think of chosing. I mean what is the relevance applying hierarchy to any of those 3 when non can replace the other. We should just work, pray and hope that we get them all. Nice post
Thank you my friend. We are lucky to be in this platform, articles will remind us of what we are missing sometimes.
You're right
