We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal. - Gary Keller

Every minute of every day, the question is never will we be doing something, but rather what that something is we’ll be doing.

Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day. Achievers do sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do sooner. The difference isn’t in intent, but in right of way. Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority.

The reason we shouldn’t pursue balance is that the magic never happens in the middle; magic happens at the extremes.
