Post #45 - Get Back Into Focus

Today was a good example of how life - and time - can get away from us. Today, while I was doing some "spring cleaning," I lost track of time and forgot to check in with y'all.  

It happens, doesn't it? 

We get so caught up in doing one thing that we forget that we have other important things that we have to do.

This is the reality of life.

Sometimes, because life gets by us, or we get caught up in the throes of it, we get distracted from the things that mean so much to us. 

We make our distractions our focus. They become more important than the things that should be our priorities. And we miss out on what is meant to bless us. 

Sometimes the things we are distracted by are very important and mean a lot to us, too. 

This is when we have to prioritize. Decide which item is more important. 

Which one has the most value? Which one requires or deserves more of our attention?

Then, we divide our time accordingly. 

We give more time to the one that is most important and holds the most value to us. 

This is how we take control of our lives and not allow them to overtake us. 

The hustle and bustle of life, the stress and complexity of it, can wear us down if we let it. But, that's when we stop, remember what's important, and bring our priorities back into focus. 

We can't allow life to take over or get away from us. We have authority over the throes of life. And we can bring them under submission when we remember what's important.

And don't get caught focusing on the distractions.
