In my experience, we kind of know what is important in life, but you don't follow through.
Every time we say "yes" to work een extra hour, we also say "no" to spending time with our loved ones.
Every time when we buy something unnecessary, and most of what we buy is unnecessary, we also choose "work" (to pay for it), instead of "time with loved ones ".
I know we sometimes buy stuff in order to feel good then and there, but the will to have more time should dominate the little ego.
I think, from time to time, is useful to ask urself "what is important to us and do we, realy, follow through with our priority list?"
What a teaser, @reonlouw! Now i can hardly wait for de 2 things!
Greetings from @Kryptonia, @nexit!
Thank you @nexit. I so agree. The rat race catches us all and it just makes rats of us. It is not a one-off decision to prioritise better. We need to pause every now and then and check where we are. Thank you for a very useful contribution. I'm glad the teaser worked...
