Shock Value: Entry 172 "Priorities"

This is the day that the LORD

has made, let us rejoice

and be glad it is.

Today's Topic: Priorities

I am a firm believer that in this life oftentimes we are made to experience things that should teach us a lesson. Also, I believe that we experience other things so that we can share the outcome with others, so they may learn or grow from our mistakes. As the days began to move towards December, these are our last chances to start making 2010 the year we said it would be last New Years. It is time we make some necessary adjustments in our life and focus on our Priorities.

At times in life, every thing around you may seem to be of the utmost importance. But that simply isn't the case. With time, age, and growth our Priorities must shift. Perhaps in high school it was necessary to date the guy/girl everyone wanted, or make the cheerleader squad or basketball team, but those days are far behind most of us. Now it is time for us to readily identify our Priorities and focus on them. I can admit, that over the course of the last 4 years, I have done a disservice to myself and others. I know mostly what I am suppose to be doing, but my Priorities were all wrong and I ended up doing other things of less importance to my life. While I am very appreciative of every opportunity that has been presented before me, I still need to work on identifying and focusing on my own Priorities.

You may not know what your Priorities are in this life. Trust, I didn't always know, but through trying this and attempting to do that, I realized that somethings are just more important than others. For example, having someone just to say I have someone isn't one of my Priorities. I would much rather wait to experience a life with Mrs. Right, instead of experiencing a night, with Ms. Right Now. (I own the rights to that line; lol) Anyway, this is the case because my Priorities shifted and yours should too. What is the purpose of having someone, but you are still always alone, spiritually and mentally? Think about it!

Today, I want to encourage you all to take a moment to find out what your true Priorities are. What are those things that are imperative to your successes/failures and reaching your destiny? Don't waste another minute of this life sacrificing your goals and aspirations because you have made other things and people apart of your Priorities, and you simply aren't included in theirs. Priorities should resemble the order of importance things should be in your life. For me its, Faith, Family, School, and Fulfilling My Destiny, whatever that may be. What are your Priorities? If you don't know, you may need more than just this blog--hit your boy up on the cellie, we can definitely, talk it out.
