The important things
When you only take care of the urgent matters, many new
urgent matters will appear to take their place. When you
take care of the important matters, then you're making real
progress.
Many of life's most important concerns do not jump up and
demand your attention, at least not right now. It can be
easy to ignore them in favor of more urgent matters.
Yet most of the urgent concerns turn out, in the long run,
to be fairly trivial. If you focus only on what demands your
immediate attention, there will surely come a time when you
regret it.
The quality of your life depends upon where you put your
priorities. The most important and meaningful aspects of
your life deserve your consideration and support on a daily
basis.
The more attention you give to the important things, the
less you'll feel the need to be controlled by the urgent,
but relatively meaningless, matters. The more you focus on
what's truly important, the more firmly you'll be in control
of your life.
When investing your precious time and energy in something,
take into consideration how important it really is. Find
time to work on the important things, and the rewards will
still be with you long after the work is done.
