THE RUNAROUND DILEMMA
Because we don’t know what is really importantto us, everything seems important.
Because everything seems important,we have to do everything.
Other people, unfortunately, see us as doingeverything, so they expect us to do everything.
Doing everything keeps us so busy, we don’t havetime to think about what is really important to us.
DEFINITION
important adj 1: of much import, carrying with it serious consequences; weighty, momentous, grave, and significant
Oxford English Dictionary
urgent adj 1: pressing, compelling; calling for or demanding immediate action; anything characterized by urgency

GOVERNING VALUES ARE MY:
I know this now. Every man
gives his life for what he
believes. Every woman gives
her life for what she believes.
Sometimes people believe in
little or nothing, and so they

QUOTE
…One life is all we have, and
we live it as we believe in
living it and then it’s gone. But
to surrender who you are and
to live without belief is more
terrible than dying—even
more terrible than dying
young. JOAN OF LORRAINEa play by Maxwell Anderson
