Talking about priorities...

a harrying tale to offer an important life perspective

Talking of balancing priorities which I just wrote about yesterday, I read this harrowing tale that offered my perspective on work-life balance through another person’s lens. It moved me to read this but human as I am, I often mull over these for a few days and then back to the status quo of who I used to be.

The usual suspects that end up working to justify the lack of change include:

• It was an outlier event

• I shall get to it or start tomorrow

• It won’t happen to me (this or a different version of it)

• I am infallible

• I will sort life in due time

• I will hit a milestone and then get to stabilizing life to what I need it to be

• I am special

• <add your own excuses here>

• <and here>

• <and here>
