I love how power is very low (if not the lowest) on most of your lists. That was one I threw in there to mix things up.

That's a hard one, because in some instances they come hand-in-hand. But if I had to decide I would probably say: Self-respect first (you can't love anyone if you don't love yourself), family, love, religion, health, career, money and power (who cares about power, as long as I'm in control of my own life I'm happy).

Religion is first and foremost. Maybe its just because I'm pious, but I believe Jesus should always be the head of your life. Love runs a close second, because if you look at it love is a really just a commitment. To have religion, to have self-respect, to have these things it takes love. Self-respect is a value that I hold dear, because you can't love others until you learn to love and accept yourself for your own personal worth. Self-respect teahes you how to love by learning to accept faults as well as merits. After you learn to love yourself, family is most valued, because you always have someone there to count on. Even if you can't stand your mother, don't know half the family, or have problems within the family, at the end of the day, you still have someone who shares a bond with you that can never be severed. Health is next in line, because without good health you can't enjoy the good things in life. Health can't be bought which makes it all the more valuable. Health is a gift many take advantage of, but if one were to loose their health, they would soon discover how dear the hold their health and the health of those they love.Career would come next, because even if you don't have a lot of riches, you have a direction to go in, a foundation for your future, and the starts of a dream. Power is valued over money, because if you think about it money is power. People want money to have power. Money is my least valued, becuse it is strictly material. You could have all the money in the world, but how could you enjoy it if you didn't have family to share it with, or if you didn't respect yourself, or didn't have the health to do the things that you wanted to do? Like they say, money can't buy happiness.

SELF RESPECT,FAMILY, HEALTH,LOVE, CAREER,RELIGION,MONEY,POWER
Self respect is first because without that the next four would never exist. You have got to like yourself first to find love, start a family, remain healthy and be successful in your career.
All the power in the world means nothing if you don't respect yourself, if you are alone with no support system or you have never loved or aren't healthy. To be truelly rich and powerful u need the first 4!!!!

Family-religion-self respect-health-money-career-love-power. Family is the most important because they are going to be with us whenever we are in trouble or not. Power is the less important because we might do wrong things with power.

Health - if you don't have this, you don't have anything else.
Love - you need this in order to have any of the following. So it is most important.
Family - your husband/wife and kids are who you love most
Money - You need this in order to live as well. Helps you with the rest of the choices.
Self-respect - Everyone has this to some degree or they would not care about living a life
Career, you need this to get #4.
Power - don't need it yet
Religion - not important, since it is all messed up

FAMILY
RELIGION
HEALTH
LOVE
SELF RESPECT
MONEY
CAREER
POWER
I chose family first because in all honesty I seem to put family above all else in life.
I chose religion second because God is very important to me but I seem to have put family first to many times to say that I have not would be a lie. I chose power as my least important value because I don,t really care about being in power or being powerful.

power ---with the others, I have power already. I have the power of love, the power of my self, the power of family, the power of the lord, the power of my knowledge and money has some powerful effects...but with the others comes a power all its own.

power, helps us with the career,
love, helps us with all of the above,
family, in the end, that's where we fall back on
religion. some people dont have it, but they're happy anyway.
