Priorities

Nature gave men

two ends -one to sit on

and one to think with.

Ever since then

man's success or failure

has been dependent on

the one he used most.

~George R. Kirkpatrick

Priorities

We all have a list of things that are important to us. We try and accomplish or move closer to our goals every single day but this time of year can give us some great distractions. It's easy to get swept up into the chaos of the holiday season. Shopping can turn into a contact sport. The anger level goes up a notch and patience seems to go down. Drama starts to rear its ugly head into family matters and friendships. Here's the secret though, it doesn't have to! When you know what really matters most to you, anytime of year, that's where your focus goes. Knowing your priorities and making sure they stay at the forefront of your day will keep you energized, happy and focused. If a priority is to stay calm and peaceful, then you will. If your priority is spending time with loved ones, then you will. If your priority is to not stand on long lines at the stores, you will go online shopping! Whatever you choose, make sure your list stays close to your heart and that is how you remain productive, balanced and happy throughout your day.
