“Don’t put the cart before the horse,” according to Phrasemix means “Pay attention to what’s most important. Don’t let things which aren’t as important take up all your time and attention.”
I’ve found in life that there is a general order to most things, and if you follow that order things usually work out for the best. In today’s world pretty much anything goes.
Now for some, this free-spirited lifestyle might be the best thing ever. However, for many putting the “cart before the horse” ends up with a more chaotic life.
Teaching our children to think before they act, and to analyze if what they are doing is really the best route can be a game changer for the future.
Investing in a wedding dress before you have a ring and a date, might end up being a waste of money. You may choose never to marry or the style of dress might not suit your tastes anymore.
Also, not prioritizing the details may cause you to derail your plans. Learn to take care of the “first things first.”
