thing.
KEY – PROPER BALANCE
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, unapologetically, to say “no” to other things.
CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE.
The key is not to prioritize what’s on
your schedule, but to schedule your
priorities.
URGENT VS. IMPORTANT
Too much time on what is urgent
And Not enough time on what is
important.
KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING
And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes”
burning inside. The enemy of the “best” is often the
“good.”
I am not a product of my circumstances.
I am a product of my decisions.
CHOOSE LIFE !!!
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore choose life
Deuteronomy 30:19
