The world is on a slippery slope. It is changing fast. And if you don’t know how to deal with it, it may eat you alive.Social networks are more tempting than ever. Social marketing can create needs you didn’t even know you had. And if you don’t know your life priorities, everybody will try to suck the attention out of your eyes.You will be lost forever if you forget your life priorities in this social and attention game. Therefore, discovering them in time and keeping them under control is fundamental.

The Attention Suckers

The 20 remaining goals you didn’t pick will try to distract you. So avoid them at all costs.Here is some advice from me.<ul><li>Make two lists with your five life goals and their 20 potential distractions, and keep them somewhere you can see them. </li><li>You can make adjustments, but you can only do it twice: now and when you reach one of the five goals. Switching too much transforms life goals into other failures. </li></ul>

Warren Buffett's Life Advice

Now that you have found your 25 life goals, you must pick only five of them. If finding 25 goals was challenging, figuring out the most important ones would be even worse. So here are a few suggestions:<ul><li>Start by excluding the last goals you added to the list.</li><li>Understand if there are mutually exclusive goals. For example, if you have a successful career, you can afford a big house.</li><li>And if you still haven’t reduced the list to only five goals, cut goals without second thoughts. </li></ul>

Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors of our time. His investment choices made him a rich man. And nobody seems to match him in terms of financial outcomes.Over the past years, he released many interviews about his discipline and strategies. And he also shared self-improvement and personal growth tips.One, in particular, caught my attention – a piece shared by his pilot (then named The Pilot Story). Buffet used it to show people how to find their purpose. And although his advice is not rocket science, he succeeded in life. So, he must have understood something most people ignore.

Why listening Warren Buffett’s life advice?

Mike Flint was Warren Buffett’s pilot for ten years. During their many flights, Flint shared his life priorities once. And Buffett asked him to test his priorities with a 3-step exercise . Only in this way could Flint be sure of the importance of his goals. Buffett’s advice is nothing special. Its simplicity is its main strength. But his 3-step plan can help you spot your life priorities right away. So, let’s jump right into it.
