Priorities play an important role in our life, in our day to day "functioning", in our daily choices and the decisions we take to spend our time accomplishing a particular task.
What's amusing is that we don't only prioritize work, we also prioritize people. We prioritize almost everything. Every single act of ours showcases our priorities of life.
What is priority ? Isn't it simply giving one thing more importance over the other ? Priorities change. They change not only over a long period of time, but also over a short span of even two hours.
I know certain people (one with whom I've even had a conversation regarding all this ) who don't believe in this philosophy of priorities. But then we have the concept of time, right ?
A famous quote of Albert Einstein goes "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once ". If everything doesn't happen at once,okay, hang on. First of all, most of the times things don't just magically "happen", things have to be made to happen. There is a great deal of molecular movement that is behind each and every action of our day to day lives and all those actions don't just "happen", we make them happen.
The point I was making ? We don't just make everything happen at once. As much advanced as we might have become, as much multitasking experts that we might have evolved into, typing with one hand, eating with the other, conversing on phone via one ear and hearing music simultaneously via the other, we still CANNOT do everything at once.
What do we do ?
We choose. We pick. We decide.
How do we do ?
We prioritize.
Most of the time I always have some incident, some conversation to cite, a result of which is the post that you are reading right now. But this time, I have none. I fail to understand from where this whole priority priority thing came into my mind, the only thing that might have transpired it would be the "Operating Systems" course being taught in the institute , but that is too far fetched to even give it a second thought.
The point I am trying to bring across is, it's okay to lose track of your priorities once in a while.
It's okay to forget one assignment amidst all other tons of pending work.
It's okay to forget to call up someone when you had an entire cloud of deadlines hovering right above your head.
It's okay to let go off all your priorities and just calm yourself for sometime.
What isn't right is to forget them completely. To ignore someone repeatedly. To leave a subject untouched time and again.
I don't know how much of what I am saying is making sense. The way I have written it, it probably isn't making sense to me as well, but what I do know is that priorities play a major role in defining who you are and in defining your take towards life.
