The importance that we attach to a thing determines how much we value it, how much we value each and everything (both ideas and actions) around us determines our personal value, and lastly our personal values determines the outcome of our life.

What do I mean
A man who finds much importance in building his physical strength will more likely visit the gym and spend more of his time and resources on exercises, and he might end up being a wrestler of a heavyweight lifter. Whereas someone else who finds more value in music will rather spend more of his time and resources on musical instruments and in the studio, such a person might eventually find himself as a musician or an instrumentalist, but never a wrestler or a heavyweight lifter.

To simple say, the things we find ourselves doing the most are guided consciously or unconsciously by the values we place on them. And these things eventually determines the direction at which our life heads towards.

Considering the fact that what we do for most hours of our day leads to what we do for most days of our year, and most years of our lifetime. Someone said that *a person who sleeps for 8 hours every day would have slept for 10 years by the time he turns 30.

Most of our young people places more importance in watching and engaging in comedy skits on various social media platforms and doing other things which provides them nothing to earn or to learn in return for their time and resources spent.

The percentage of value and degree of importance you place on a particular thing determines how more or less attention you give to the rest.

We all have 24 hours each blessed day, but our different position financially and in terms of goals accomplishments is determined by the degree of value we place on each and every thing we do without our 24 hours in relevance to our aims and purpose in life.

A man’s 24 hours and 100% attention in a day is shared among the things he does that day, and the things that takes more hours and attention tends to repeat itself for every other day because it has found it’s way to his subconscious mind. He finds it difficult to stay a day without the things he does most, and likewise he also finds it difficult to improve on the things he spends lesser time on daily.

For example, If jack spends 7 hours of his day watching all sorts of irrelevant clips on social media platforms, he has 17 hours left for every other things he has to do that day including sleep. By the end of the day, he might not have up to an hour left for adequate planning and taking necessary steps to accomplish his long term goals.

Redefine your values.

How fast it would take a man to accomplish his goals is determined by how defined his values are. Men like Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller, Elon Musk are people with redefined values. They understand the importance of time and resources and will never give it in exchange for values without benefits.

To redefine one’s values, one ask these questions

1. What are my long term goals and future ambitions ?

2. How much time and attention have I been putting towards seeing my goals accomplished every day ?

3. How much time and attention have I spent towards things that are irrelevant to my goals ?

4. What do I stand to gain from the things I spend most of my time doing each day ?

If the percentage of the third question is equal or higher than the second, then you’ve got so much more to do.
