Related to this is the difference between wanting something, and wanting to want something.
I can tell myself that I want to exercise more, or learn photography, or eat better, but if I don’t do those things, I don’t really want them. I simply WANT to want them, because I want the end result that each one of them brings. It’s closely related to belief in belief. “If I believed in God I would be a good and virtuous person and go to heaven” is very similar to “If I ate right I would have more energy and be healthier”
A big part of prioritizing is seperating the things you want from the things you WANT to want. The things you want are the ones that you’re willing to put the work in for.
