The Importance of Being a Big Rock

Not to squander Oscar Wilde. But it just occurred to me that most decisions comes down to priorities. (A little late, but better than never)

When I was younger, I knew that it was important to prioritize, (after being yelled at to do so repeatedly) but never knew what it actually meant or why it was so important.

To put 'first things first' or, to 'place the big rocks, and let unimportant stuff be pebbles' or something or other. Oh, oh and to make sure that the big rocks get prime attention.

Okay.

But as you get older, I guess you find that alot of the nuances of how people behave and react to situations come right down to priorities. What gets put first, second and last. Who deserves attention in the explicit order of first, second, and last. What one DEFINES as a big rock, maybe different to what another person defines as being important, but that just comes down to semantics.

I want to rearrange my rocks, and make sure that the right things become the big rocks, as I think I may have mistaken my big rocks for pebbles.

Some may say it's getting my priorities straight, but hey, who am I to tell you what your priorities are? I just want to make sure that I give the same attention to the ones who put me first.

You're my big rock if I'm yours, so let's make sparks fly.
