I’ve spent more money on clothes in the last week than I’ve donated to charity in the past two years.
I spend more time watching television shows I don’t like than I do having dinner or coffee with people I do like.
I spend twice as much time watching YouTube videos as I do talking on the phone to my sister or brothers.
I write more complaint emails in a single month than I write thank you notes in an entire year.
I regularly spend more time worrying about “relationships” with girls I’ve just met than I do worrying about the health of my grandparents.
I’ve spent more time this month creating product reviews on Amazon.com for total strangers than I have catching up with my best friends from childhood and high school.
I spend more time reading tweets by celebrities I’ve never met than I do reading those by my best friends.
I spend more time on Facebook than I do exercising.
I’ve spent more money on going to the movies in the past month than I’ve ever spent on a Christmas present for a member of my family.

Not depressing. Typical. There are so many transition periods in one’s life…so many things you’re doing wrong during them…and you don’t even know until you come out.
This is true.
Hardcore truth.
Nice, Josh. Wish you get back to the best life.

Question for life:
If everyone lived their life with awareness of priorities, and consistently chose the more wholesome action, how would our world be different? How would your world be different?

Seth — I think your question begs this question: Are priorities what people say, or what they do? I would argue that we all do the things that are really important to us–that is, our priorities. Just sometimes our priorities are pretty lazy and/or selfish.
