“Priorities are simple to establish; what is desire and what is necessity?”

“Michele realized that what she took for granted as the simple necessities of life, he saw it as a story beyond imagination.”

“Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.”

“The first priority of the family should be to establish a quality of relationship with each other that is a reflection of an authentic relationship with God. That may have been what Paul was aiming at when he wrote to the church in Ephesians 5 and 6 about the family.”

“A habit as simple as arriving late or constantly procrastinating can show what you rank at the bottom of your scale of priorities—and also what you rank at the top. What do you hold as important and unimportant in this life? Just take a look at your habits. They will speak for themselves—and most likely, they will speak to others as well.”

“What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?”
