Priority vs. Option
As usual...a zillion random thoughts and over-contemplations of those thoughts ran through my mind today. At one point, upon thinking about some current situations in my life, a quote that I have heard many times popped into my head. It is short and simple and yet prefectly brilliant.
"Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option."
I think this quote is great...so obvious...yet something too many of us do not follow. It is something that I have not exactly followed throughout my life...often making certain people a priority in my life...while I allowed myself to be simply an option. Doing so only sets one up for disappointment...sadness...hurt...heartache. So, why do we continue to allow it? It is a confusing occurence...one that I will come back to soon...
