Priorities In Life

Usually when we talk about what is important to us in life, we are referring to the people who matter the most to us. They are an integral part of who we are and are becoming. If this is the case, then why when we make decisions do we have only our best interests in mind. Our initial thoughts may not take into consideration how our decisions may affect those that we love, but how it benefits us. Although we walk our path alone, we are never alone on our journey. Our decisions directly and indirectly impact those around us, especially those who we care about. For most of us, when we don't include others in our thought process until after we've made a decision, we run into problems because it's not in our best interest to make decisions based on ourselves alone. We are a part of a community and everything we do affects each other. Today, reflect upon your thought process when making decisions. Do you take into consideration others when deciding what to do or are they an afterthought? It is important to include others because they will help you in determining what your answer will be. Know that life decisions aren't that difficult when we remember that we are not alone.

It's difficult as is to decide what we want, but to think what others might want is overwhelming...

(Not only did I need to choose a flavor for the shave ice, but then they wanted to know what I wanted in it. Too many choices for me, so I usually go with rainbow (all the flavors) and creme. It's decadent but it's so good.)
