How we arrange our lives always comes down, in most cases, to what we consider most important. We assign, mentally, a number to each task in our lives. These are our priorities. There are always reasons why we do one thing before another, and when we forget we look for excuses. I couldn't afford it.
Holiday cards are a good example.
Work, Love, and Leisure all are involved with priorities. The amount of time that we spend on each eventually affect the outcome of our lives. All this can leave one with a sense of not having control over one's life, while in reality how we arrange our priorities directly help us get a grip on what's important. I recently had a conversation with a friend that involved priorities. My friend is a sculptor.
