One foot in front of the other

I recall one of the old holiday Christmas cartoons, Santa Claus is Coming to Town.  In it the Winter Warlock is taught to walk…and the song I remember to this day “put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking out the door…”

Not much has changed for us humans, we need to do exactly that.  Put first things first in our life.  It is one of the most difficult thing for us to do as humans; prioritize. 

Managing time, life, relationships, tasks, work, cores, duties, family this list can go on forever I bet.  It is important for us to give careful, intentional thought to what is truly important in our life, and get it to the top of list right away. 

What is important? Crises, pressing problems/opportunities, items with deadlines.  Other important, but perhaps not as urgent items are: prevention tasks, relationship building,  recreation, and exploring new opportunities.

What is not important?  Interruptions, some phone calls, many emails, most text messages, some meetings, popular activities, and a lot of television and/or games.

It is up to you to focus and create lists or circles for yourself of what your needs are in terms of keeping the most important things, the most important things AND on top of the list!

We can be the change we seek in this world. and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One private victory at a time.
