The Battle of Priorities

A brief take on the importance of discipline.

Let’s be honest: Who here hasn’t been distracted from their priorities?

It’s so easy to get caught up in distractions these days. Entertainment like YouTube videos, social media, TV shows, and more just keep gripping our attention.

With all this stuff going on, it’s easy to lose sight of your long-terms goals, and it’s hard to stay focused on doing the short-term boring work that’ll lead to accomplishments.

Let’s say you want to be a lawyer someday. You’ve had a long day at school, so you get home and hit the couch. Probably the last thing you wanna do is crack open the books and do your homework and studies. It’s a lot easier to reach for your remote and spend a good couple hours being entertained.

Being able to resist these temptations is a skill, and one that we should develop more so that we don’t spend too much time not progressing towards where we want to be.

This is not to say that you should cut out all forms of fun in your life. What would life be without the enjoyment?
