" Don’t let the urgent take the place of the important in your life.
Oh, the urgent will really fight, claw, and scream for attention.
It will plead for our time and even make us think we’ve done the right thing by calming our nerves. But the tragedy of it all is this: while you and I were putting out the fires of the urgent (an everyday affair), the important thing was again left in a holding pattern.
And interestingly, the important is neither noisy or demanding.
Unlike the urgent, it patiently and quietly waits for us to realize its significance. "
