Today's Reflection

What is it about most of us that we expend so much energy doing the things that won't get us to where we want to go? Our appetite for filling our waking our or, at least, working hours, with stuff that makes us feel busy, valued and wanted but which has nothing to do with achieving our objectives is startling if not a little depressing. Perish the thought that we might be able to do all the really important things that we should do, cut out all the nonsense and discover, in the process, that we've lots of time on our hands. Perish the thought that others might think that we're idle.

First of all, forget about what others think - they're all a little crazy... or a lot. More importantly, forget about doing things that simply don't need doing. Trim your focus down to the key things that matter to you - the key things that will get you to where you want to go. And then focus on doing them to the very best of your ability.

And if you're not sure about where you want to go or what you want to achieve in life then you need to focus on answering those key questions first. After all, how will you know what you need to do to move in the right direction if you don't know what the right direction is?
