Think of your priorities in terms of concentric circles, like an archery target:
1st ring - you. Take care of your health.
2nd ring - economics. Your job, investments, property. If you don't get your personal finance engine working right, then you place a burden on your family and the country.
3rd ring - family, friends and lovers. To truly enjoy life, you need to be right with these relations.
4th ring - your local community, your country and the world, in that order. Dont bother to fix the world before controlling the inner circles.

Focus on your diet first so you have the right energy to excercise.
Excercise improves your energy which in turn makes you more productive, more creative, more positive, more socially desirable, and more able to handle life's little bumps.
Happiness is the only useful goal.
Acquire as many key skills as possible, including public speaking, business writing, a working understanding of psychology, an understanding of basic technology concepts, social skills, proper voice technique, good grammar, and basic accounting.
