How important are your priorities?

Let's think about life fellow steemians!

If I were to ask you, what are your priorities in life? Some of you might answer family, body, education, and money maybe not in the order but something similar to it, right? and so on, if I were to ask you, what have you done to improve these areas of your life in the last week? Your answer will probably vary from nothing to very little.

Why?
Because we tend to underestimate the work it takes to archive the things that we really care about. We often think that we will have extra time for creating great family and friend relationships or to get into a healthier lifestyle. In order to improve our lives, we have to understand unless we actively work on improving nothing will happen.

To rephrase Newtown's first law of motion:
A body remains unchanged unless acted upon by a force.

I'm not denying it. I'm guilty of doing this. I say that I care about how I look but instead of going to the gym to lose some weight I will spend hours looking for a new tv show to dedicate my life too.

Though most people have a set list of priorities, they often don't put much emphasis into reaching their goals. Most of us prefer to scowl down endless hours of tweets and comments than calling our families, going to the gym to improve our health or taking a class that might generate a promotion.

So how do we change this?
A simple answer, but it's harder to accomplish than many will think the first glance. We have to create the habit of acting according to what we value. The next time you are sitting around thinking what to do pick one of your priorities and work on it; don't just mindlessly jump into one of life distractions. Take your parents out to a date, go to a class that will make you sweat, study for a final ahead of time and really learn the material.

In order to live a fulfilled life, we have to stop skipping in the important things. Create a plan to work in yourself and what you value the most. Every day make the conscious decision of choosing yourself instead of all the noise in which many of us live.
