What Are Your Priorities

Have you ever considered that you could achieve more by doing less? Is that possible?

There are things you would really like to do, and things you know you really need to be doing. But you can’t find any free time. Wonderful opportunities come along, and you’re frustrated because there is no time available to pursue them. Although you’re surrounded by people, there’s a part of you that feels lonely and isolated because there’s just no time to develop or maintain deep and intimate bonds with others.

What if you started to think differently about time?

Time is, in fact, not the enemy. Time can be a blessing of infinite proportions, or it can be an unbearable burden. The difference is in how you think about and relate to time.

One of the most important ways you relate your life to time is found in your priorities. What exactly are your priorities and where do they come from? Are you “borrowing” many of your most prominent priorities from others? In our culture where so many people are admired and even worshipped simply because they are famous, borrowed priorities have become all too common. A celebrity is seen wearing a certain brand of shoe and suddenly millions of people make it their priority to get the same shoes. As a result, enormous amounts of time, energy and resources are consumed by people striving to obtain what they really don’t even want.

Or perhaps you have “inherited” your priorities, basing them not on what you truly desire but on what others expect of you. Though many of those expectations may be unrealistic, you feel pressure to live up to them because, after all, you want others to like you. Doing so, however, can be extremely frustrating and can use up a lot of your time. Chasing the priorities of others will quickly drain your energy and enthusiasm as well.
