What Are Your Priorities

When you’re deliberate with your life, when you take every decision because you have a big goal you want to achieve, you define your priorities early on.

But if you tackle your life day by day without having a long goal to pursue, we can spot priorities depending on what you spend most time on.

If you spend 4 hours on social media and only 30 minutes with your family, your priorities are clear: social media is more important than your family.

Even if you don’t intentionally put social media over your family, your actions have done so.

This happens to every other aspect of your life. You might think you put learning over everything. When you look at how you spend your day factually, you see all your learning efforts are so little compared to other activities. Hence your claim is wrong.

Seasons change. Priorities change. Beware.
