I would like for my top priority in life to be happiness, but I think the truth is that my top priority is some combination that involves doing what seems right for me and for others while making an income and maintaining a home and staying close to my family and having some fun. I stay determined to cultivate that priority probably by my upbringing plus my development over the years. Some parts of that priority deliver wholeness, and some deliver completion of my duties which don't always take me toward wholeness. One or my important priorities is to be open to the possibilities of life and avoid rigidity, and that doesn't take determination, it takes allowing me to use some time being that way, and that does deliver wholeness. Writing this reflection is an experience in following my priorities, it is a moderate challenge, and for me is enhancing wholeness.
