Excellent article. I like your writing style. Glad to follow you on here, @denmarkguy.

The truth is that sometimes we are not active agents in our own lives... in the sense that we don't SET our priorities, we let our priorities be set FOR us.

So true, man. Figuring that out more and more as I get older. No one is going to make sure we are not overburdened, ultimately, except ourselves!
