Priorities

Have you ever wondered what your life would look like if someone other than you charted your life out by what you spent your time on? I sometimes think that what I say is important to me doesn't really matter because the people outside of my perspective could never see it. For example, I may think that school is important to me but really, since I only spend maybe an hour a week on my studies it must not matter very much.

I purpose a new way to handle this priority crises that I expect many of us go through when we are honest with ourselves. I wonder if we sat down and made a list of our top three, five, ten or more priorities and then compared it to a list that we make during a certain week of our activities and how long we spent on each they would be different.

Now that we have two lists and we are looking at them and realizing that we are living a life full of farces we can actually do something about it. I fully believe that once we have gone through an introspection period in our life, we can actually do something.

What you do after these actions is up to you. I would suggest however that you spend time in prayer and meditation about whether change needs to happen. Maybe your actions are your priorities and you just didn't know it. But maybe, your actions are the opposite of what you hold dear in your heart and you just haven't followed this up with actions. Now is the best time to change if it is necessary.
