Written years ago in an executive support group. We were asked to pick a word at random, reflect on the word for a few minutes, and then put together a brief statement describing our reflection. EgB

Priority

I want to write about priority.

Priority at home, priority at work, priority in life.

Priority?

What is it?  Who is it?  Why is it?  Where is it?

I guess one would say that it is all about when…

When will I see my wife, my daughter, my son?

When will I see my parents, my brother, my sisters, my friends?

When?  Will?  I?

These sound like simple questions, but is the answer really “when”?

I know when to work but do I know when to live, how to live, why to live?

Priority is a question not a word.

A question with no real answer, only more questions and more definitions.

The answer lies within me but how do I answer the question of Priority?

Is there really an answer?

Yes,

and that answer is all up to me.
