What is the last thing you learned?

I was talking to my best friend and out of our discussion I re-learnt the importance of having the right priorities in life!
You may think this would be an obvious realisation humans would have.. but if it were true.. there wouldn’t be so many people and companies spending billions of dollars and thousands of hours each year to ‘re-prioritise.’
Having the right priorities isn’t about what you eliminate from your life and ‘miss out’ on..
It’s a matter of perspective.. contemplate what having the right priorities allows you to cherish and achieve.
What is the point of incorrectly prioritising you work over your partner, only to be left with profitable fiscal assets but a relationships full of liability?
Would you rather be out with your friends all the time or spend some of that time with your parents while you still can?
The reason we need to have the right priorities is the simple fact that life isn’t infinite… without knowing what you hold dear you will place a higher value on things and people that don’t really matter..
You may hear people complain that “I have so much to do It is not leaving me any time to achieve such and such..”
If achieving in life was easy everyone would be on par… and if achieving in life was impossible, then everyone would be on par and nothing would be achieved.
The resounding truth is people who are able to achieve something have their priorities right… I’m not saying they have the right priorities (if you know what I mean?).
I have learnt that having priorities isn’t enough.. we must value the right things.. love, knowledge, character and principles! Without such virtuous facets of life, you will find yourself an empty shell at the end of your life.
