There should be no shame in admitting to a mistake after all, we really are only admitting that we are now wiser than we once were.

I think we are in a non-essentialist bubble—everything seems important—so of course nothing is.

The ability to choose cannot be taken away or even given away-it can only be forgotten.

I think we’ve been oversold the value of more and undersold the value of less.

If I didn’t already own this, how much would I spend to buy it?

Remember that if you don’t prioritize your life someone else will.

I'd rather be honest and lose than be dishonest and win

We overvalue nonessentials like a nicer car or house, or even intangibles like the number of our followers on Twitter or the way we look in our Facebook photos. As a result, we neglect activities that are truly essential, like spending time with our loved ones, or nurturing our spirit, or taking care of our health.

We often think of choice as a thing. But a choice is not a thing. Our options may be things, but a choice—a choice is an action. It is not just something we have but something we do.

Take a deep breath. Get present in the moment and ask yourself what is important this very second.

The word priority was singular for 500 years—what does priorities mean—'many many first things.'
