The Best Advice I've Been Given

"Don't sacrifice what you want most in life for what you want at the moment."
If anything has kept me motivated in life it’s that quote. It keeps my life’s goal on the surface of my mind constantly. Then, when a decision between something that sounds fun and exciting or what would benefit me most (and probably not be as much fun) I know what to choose. I know that choosing what would benefit me would be best because I have what I want most in life appear in my mind. I then can see the consequences of both my options and I choose what will ‘benefit me most’ not because it is “good” but because I’ll be happier in the long run.
