My son swears he heard a quote that said something like, “The chief cause of misery is exchanging what you want most for what you want at the moment”. I can’t find the source of the quote, but it sounds pretty accurate to me.

How many times do we do things like that every day? Maybe we want to live a healthy life, but we go grab a Rice Krispie treat from the vending machine because we’re craving it. Maybe we want to pay off our credit cards, but go out and buy a new wallet because we deserve it. Maybe we really want to travel the world with our family, but can’t because we spend our money eating out too much because we’re always too tired to cook.

Sure, we could all enjoy a little bit of instant gratification now and then, but making a habit of it will in fact cause us to miss out on the things we want most in life. Asking, “is this what I really want, or is it just what I want right now?” can help you to stay focused on your most-meaningful goals.
