Food for Thought

The McDonalds CEO has just stepped down from his position due to finding out he has colon cancer. No doubt this is a man who has dreamnt about making it big in the coorporate world, and he was well on his way to success, and now has chosen to step down and give it all up. He wants to focus completely on his health and family. It's funny how our health can bring life into perspective like that. Isn't it true that when we have severe health threats, near death experiences, or anything similar, suddenly our priorities are brought into clear view. Why is it though that, for most of us, it takes extreme measures to bring into light the things dearest to us. I would hope that I could live each day putting the priorities that are dearest to my heart first and foremost, and that it wouldn't take one day finding out my life is ending only to realize I had neglected those things which matter most.
