Pry or a tay...zzzzz
Priorities.I really don't like that word - probably because my priorities are not where I want them to be.
"If it's important you will find a way,
if it's not you will find an excuse"
And I also believe that who ever came up with the above quote should be clobbered.
Today, I have a long list of things that need my attention. I wish that list looked like this:
- Get a mani/pedi
- Eat lots of sushi
- Walk around grungy buildings taking pictures
- Hanging out at the coffee shop drinking latte's made with whole milk
But, this is not what my list looks like.....it's filled with life stuff that isn't glamorous, isn't always very fun, isn't memorable. But it needs to be done.
I'm not going to lie - I do not find myself in breathless anticipation to go work out. Yes, it's important to me, but there's a lot of other things I need to do that are equally as important (some may argue this point with me).
How do you balance the important stuff?
<crickets chirping>
I don't know.
But today - with my long list of things to do (which by the way, also does not include taking 15 minutes to write a blog post) I chose to work out before I did anything else. And I sit here now feeling really glad about that.....even if my left knee feels like it's bursting into flames.
I don't like the priority discussion. Sometimes, I don't like being accountable for my priorities........because................
I'm REBELLIOUS!
But at the end of the day, in the secret place.....I'm grateful to those who do hold me accountable.....those who question my priorities.....those who challenge me think about what's important. See, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?
Sorry, I'm random that way.
As I was saying - I'm grateful to those who step on my toes and help me see what's important. But.................and it's a big but. I still have to choose it.....
Go and choose wisely today!!
