The truth is I'm going blind, but before you jump to any dismal conclusions, let me explain. Growing up I never needed glasses or contacts, and I prided myself in my 20/15 vision. However, in recent years my eyesight has slowly deteriorated. About two years ago I got glasses to help me see better in my college classes, but now I often find myself wearing them throughout the day. Although I can still get by if I forget my glasses or if find it inconvenient to wear them, I crave the clarity of sight that my glasses provide, especially when I look out into the distance.
Not unlike my eyesight, over time our vision of what is actually important in life can become blurred. Sometimes we become so wrapped up in the here and now that we loose sight of what is essential. Private introspection may yield important insights concerning our priorities and path. What then is truly important? For me, three priorities are paramount: God, family, and friends. The quality of my relationships with my God, my family, and my friends allow me to determine whether I need to correct or continue my course. Take a look into the distance. Are your sights set on what matters most, or could you benefit from a pair of new glasses?
