For why your loved ones and your family needs better care and they should be your first priority i want to mention this story below, that i got from an educational forum here

    A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in
    front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large
    empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks
    about 2″ in diameter.
    He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
    So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
    into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,
    rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

    He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

    The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and
    poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

    “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this is
    your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your
    partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important
    to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed.

    “The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your
    house, your car.

    “The sand is everything else. The small stuff.

    “If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the
    pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend
    all your energy and time on the small stuff, you will never have
    room for the things that are important to you.

    “Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
    Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your
    partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean
    the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.

    “Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set
    your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
