How can you deal with all the problems of life? How can you be less self-centered? How can you not let others upset you? How can you find peace? It feels like there are so many things to resolve, to settle, to square away.
"First thing first" means seeking the union with Christ first before all else, then everything will automatically fall into place over time. The closer you are united with Christ, the more you think and view the world like him. Then you will learn not to worry or be anxious about anything (remember his counsels in the Gospels?). You will have great courage in facing all the problems in life. You can actually become fearless. Achieving the greatest possible union with the Lord in this life should be your foremost goal in life.
A footnote. Ralph Martin's book The Fulfillment of All Desire describes the various stages of union with God.
