Time to reprioritize

======================

The title of this newsletter was going to be “Time to slow down,”

but as I reflected on this, I realized that would be a lie.

I am not the type of person to slow down. It is in my blood to

be actively engaged in all the opportunities that God and life

presents me.

I realized that it isn’t a time to slow down, but a time to

reprioritize.

For most of you who know me personally know

that I am currently doing a few things on a professional

and personal level. I run my own tax business, have

a full time job in addition to my business, am an adjunct

professor at George Washington University, a lecturer for CPA exam course,

half-way done with law school, and I run Inner Peace Be

Upon You. More importantly, on my personal level I am

a father and husband. I have been able to do all of this

through the grace and mercy of God, and I have been blessed

to be able to handle all of these things simultaneously.

The thing is that I don’t slack quality on any one front. I give

everything my focus when it is time to focus on that task. Hence,

the reason that I have been able to do all of these for a few

years now, and do it well. Praise be to God.

Yet, it is time to reprioritize. My son is getting older, and

I am missing time with my wife more and more. Although

I have been able to manage everything well, I also know that

time is not unlimited.

There are only so many hours in the day.

One of the things I miss the most from my childhood is

time with my father. He would always be busy. He

had to though. He was the provider, and now as a father

I understand the importance of the role. This is one of the

reasons that I have been struggling with reprioritizing.

I want to be able to provide for my family.

Yet, I always think back to how when I was younger, I would

miss time with my father, and how much my mother and sisters would

miss my father as well because he would be away for work.

I know I have to reprioritize. Yes, providing for my family is important,

and it can be done without doing everything I have been doing. I

do these other things simply because in my blood is this ambition

to overcome obstacles and reach my potential. Yet, I don’t want that

to be at the cost of my family.

I don’t want to look back at my life and see that I made myself

into a workaholic. I want to look back and remember all the joys

I created with my wife, my children, and the rest of my family.

As a result of this, I have had talks with my wife on the realization

that I need to reprioritize. I am in the process of learning to and actually

going through with letting some things go in order to ensure

I am making more time for what is ultimately important.

It is not a time to slow down, but a time to reprioritize.
