You make time for that which is your priority.

It is as simple as that.

I never get it when people say that they would like to read but just don't have the time. They don't have the time because is not a priority with them. It is the same with writing or exercise or learning new things.

It is also the same for relationships, be it lovers or family or friends.

You make time for that which is your priority.

What makes me crazy is those who cannot be honest about what is their priority. White lies really are just lies. Hollow words wound. Truth is always best. To know where you stand is by far a greater gift to receive that to believe that which is not true.

Yet people seem far more content to say whatever fits the moment, whatever is comfortable, whatever appears appropriate...than to speak the truth.

Agreeing to what you do not want. Lying to avoid that which you would rather not face. Taking the easy route.

But priorities are generally never easy. They take work. They take commitment. They take active choice, not passivity. They take truth.

You make time for that which is your priority.

Be honest about what that is. For those around you, it is one of the most loving acts you can do.
