Remember that if you don’t prioritize your life someone else will.
Greg McKeown
The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities.
The pursuit of success can be a catalyst for failure. Put another way, success can distract us from focusing on the essential things that produce success in the first place.
You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.
If you want to operate at your highest level of contribution, you must learn to live with far more ambiguity than you are probably comfortable with.
When we surrender our right to choose, we give others not just the power but also the explicit permission to choose for us.
The ability to choose cannot be taken away or even given away—it can only be forgotten.
If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.
