Priorities???

As cliché as this may sound, priorities are one of those essentials that all of us should have in place to lead our god given life. It's not exactly like setting a goal, but more like figuring out what gives the better outcome in the long run.      Sacrifices, age, maturity or different times may all take part in a role one prioritizes events or deeds. And sometimes there are really no reasons at all for the way things are in order. Me rambling about priorities is really me trying to solicit the age old WHAT IF questions. It is my way of chatting about what could happen if we had different decisions on different matters. What if I had picked a different major in college? What if I had accepted the job that payed me a little less than the one I'm at now? What could have happened if I had spent more time with my family instead of work? Theses question do not necessarily have to revolve around work life but just life in broad. How do we distinguish that we made the better decision to get to where we are at now and how do we know how to set our priorities for the future so we can be at an even superior place? And what comes about when things don’t exactly go our way?
