The Things That Matter The Most
"Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least."
What have you been putting ahead of your priorities and values? Are you truly living life in accordance with what you think is important? Think about all the ways you might be mixing up your priorities:
- You’re making that credit card payment but can’t afford to pay your house payment.
- You slave at all hours of the day to earn money and support your family, but you haven’t spent quality time with your spouse or kids in months.
- You bend over backwards to not embarrass yourself in front of strangers but can’t foster true, meaningful relationships with your friends.
- You tell yourself that you are faithful to God but nobody can tell by the way you talk and act.
- You complain to your coworkers about that one guy that barely gets anything done, but you stop in the middle of your shift to talk about him.
- You rush out to buy that latest gadget because it’s cool, but you get it with the swipe of a credit card at 28.99% interest.
- You go out and party every weekend, but you spend no time learning to be a more mature, better person.
- You are kicking butt in FarmVille, but you haven’t grabbed a drink with a buddy in a few weeks.
- You spend 20 minutes every day making sure your hair looks good, but you have to stop at Taco Bell so that you have something cooked to eat.
Don’t you get tired of living like this?
