Value is what we’re willing to sacrifice for something. Not what we say matters, but what we actually trade our time, attention, or resources to get. The uncomfortable truth is that our real values are shown through our choices, not our words. We might claim to value health while scrolling at midnight, or say we value relationships while staying late at work again. The gap between stated and revealed preferences is where self deception lives. So ask yourself…what did I actually spend today on? That’s what you truly value right now, whether you like the answer or not.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
