PRIORITIES

What are yours?

I was thinking about the way I live my life. How different would your life be if you just shift a few of your priorities? This goes with a quote I had a few months ago from one of Stacie Orrico's songs:

"You can be who you want to be. But whether you do, whether you don't, depends on your PRIORITIES"

I think that's so true. When you come to a fork in the road of life (ok... that sounds sooooo inspirational book-y) and you have to make a choice, how do you choose? You prioritise, no? You choose the path that really matters, right?

Then say you make a choice. Then you look back and start questioning whether you made the right decision. Does that mean you got your priorities wrong? Maybe not wrong, but maybe you didn't know and understand your priorities well enough to make an educated decision.

Who/what is it that you plan your life around? Is it self-satisfaction, career success, education, family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, some higher being? Which factors of your life can cause other factors in your life to be disregarded or rainchecked because it holds a higher priority? Do your priorities make sense to you?

I thought I had my priorities all figured out. It was only on Sunday that I realised what my #1 priority in my life had to be. It goes without saying, but it's the only stable factor in my life. The only aspect in my life that always makes me feel safe, that reminds me that I'm loved. Isn't that the kind of path that we all want to take? The path that's stable and never-failing? I reckon this factor is different for everyone - but regardless of what this factor is, I believe that this aspect of someone's life that they hold as their highest PRIORITY needs to be something safe, right?

I don't know where this all came from? It's been on my mind the past few days. It's just interesting to think about, I reckon. Whether you're clinging to something strong and something that won't ever fail you.

This is the kind of stuff that goes through my mind. This is where I vent it. Feels good. Ok bye!
