Managing your priorities is a key factor in whether or not your life turns out how you hoped it would. It may indeed be influenced by chance, luck, hard work, drive, skills, education, financial capacity, and many other components. However, how you manage your priorities will supersede all of these. Therefore, it is crucial that you recognize your behavior patterns and implement sound strategies to help you reach your goalposts.
Manage Your Priorities Like A Fighter Pilot/ ft. Kate Lowe
From an early age, you are taught that you need to make tough decisions. You are reminded that you can’t have everything in life. You are unwittingly conditioned to believe that you must choose between the things you desire. We carry this belief into our adult lives, too.
We see this when women lose their self-identity when they become mothers. The new role takes priority, and many women also forget to nourish their personal lives. We see it when we take a job that pays the bills instead of chasing a dream job that fills the soul. And we see it when relationships fail because life is hard; you can’t always win. But fighter-pilot Kate Lowe is spreading her message that you can have it all with a little strategic thinking.
“I thought I could do everything because no one ever told me I couldn’t.”
These are the powerful and thought-provoking words of a fighter pilot who purposefully and intentionally set out to manage her priorities in a way that allowed her to do and have everything she wanted. Kate has chosen to design her life on her terms, unwilling to compromise or accept limits on her aspirations.
From attending a civilian college to earn a Second Lieutenant’s Commission, successfully becoming a fighter pilot in the US Air Force (a male-dominated industry and prolific career choice), building a stable and supportive relationship within an ever-changing landscape, to re-designing her career in an industry she loves so that she could also be the parent she wanted to be, and all while making sure her own cup was filled.
Kate is intentional in her actions and utilizes fighter-pilot tactics to manage her priorities in a way that enables her to have a successful career, to set the boundaries in her career, to have a healthy marriage, a happy family life, a bond with her children, and a personal life of deep fulfillment.
She’s on this week’s podcast to share those techniques and strategies so that you, too, can focus your enthusiasm with the direction and intention required to create a life that you love rather than live the life you are dealt.
