Priority

What do you want? really want?

a million dollars?
a family?
true love?
a good job?
3 day weekends?
a good time?
a good kiss?

We all want something. Hell, we all want lots of things. The hard part is separating what we want and can have from what we want and can't have. Its not like me to say you can't have something....I'm the blogger who writes about taking chances and risks and believing in the impossible. Please continue to do those things, but today I'm writing about prioritizing desire so you increase the what you can have part as much as possible.

Make a list. What do you want? how bad do you want it? and what do you want more? The truth is that sometimes you have to sacrifice one thing for another. For example do you want to go to the beach this weekend or do you want to go to the mountains? you could want them both but you only get one weekend. So which one takes priority?

The easy part is knowing what you want the hard part is knowing which one you want first which one you want most. We all know what we want out of life and if you say you don't you are in denial. Maybe you don't know the specifics and maybe you haven't made a plan to get there (P.S. make a plan>>it helps you get there faster) but you know in general the things you want to get out of life. We are all dying, today, tomorrow, 40 years from now, 100 years from now: doesn't really matter when it happens. We know its happening. And, before it gets here what do you want to have done; what do you want to leave behind? You want a family? you want to know what love feels like? you want to forgive aunt Betty and start speaking to her again?

Good.

now what do you want first/most/today?
Goals are attained best when you aren't attacking them all at once. In order to get what you want you have to give it the right amount of attention. So that means taking your time and giving your focus to number 1 so that you can have it in the palm of your hand and move all your attention to number 2. pretty soon 1,214 is yours too. Don't extend yourself trying to accomplish everything at once. I'm not saying to give up on believing you can do everything because, you can do anything but you just can't do everything right this second. Be patient, make priorities, and go take on the world one step at a time.
