Balance, Plans, Decisions, Priorities

"Balance isn't either/or; it's and." - Stephen R. Covey: I cannot be so focused on one particular aspect of my life and say that I'm a balanced individual. I need to fulfill all my responsibilities not only to God, but also to my family, job, etc. I have, however, prioritized these aspects so that, during crunch time, I know what is most important.

"Keep in mind always the present you are constructing. It should be the future that you want" - Alice Walker: In other words, I must consistently evaluate whether what I'm doing is going to get me where I want to go.

"Decisiveness is the art of timely cruelty." - Henry Becque: It sometimes hurts to make decisions because someone is not going to get what they want when you don't decide their way.
