When Priorities Lose Priority

fter having a near death experience, a well-known sports professional recently announced that he made the decision to spend more time with his family and would be retiring from a successful and enviable career. Some folks seemed surprised that he would give up the glory and recognition associated with such a prestigious position. Would you do it?
Life has a way of taking the lead through our jobs, other people’s needs and demands, unexpected events and responsibilities. To gain some sense of control, sometimes requires us to take a little time and look at everything pulling at us and consider what it is that is most important to our own well-being.
But what happens when priorities lose their priority in your life? Do you continue to stay on the track that takes you away from what is revealed to you as more important or significant in your life?
Do you continue to put on hold the very things that motivate you and give you the drive to do the routine rituals of everyday life—those things that let you know deep within there MUST be something more for you than what you are now experiencing?
That’s the question of the day. If there are priorities in your life that need to be re-prioritized, give yourself permission to do it. After all, setting and keeping clear priorities will not only simplify your life, but it will also establish boundaries that will help you stay focused on what matters most.
