When everything feels urgent and important, everything seems equal. We become active and busy, but this doesn’t actually move us any closer to succes… - Gary W. Keller

It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?

While decisions tap our willpower, the food we eat is also a key player in our level of willpower.

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls — family, health, friends, integrity — are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
