You work hard to achieve your goals and attain the rewards you want. You make choices and sacrifices along the way, placing one element of your life ahead of others and compromising some.
We even give some aspects of our life a free pass and apply different rules and values to them compared to others.
Yet, for what reason? When we step back and evaluate the purpose of all this, we may realize we are out of sync and expending energy and resources in areas that will not get us closer to the goal we are setting.
We do this without a thought in our individual lives and at work. We get sucked into a vortex of mindless activity and need to be busy like others or get into the flow.
Being more intentional in our reasoning and considering why we do things is not an unnecessary step in the process but an essential one that will clarify the tasks and purpose. If we can be sure why we do something, we may give some elements the importance they deserve while eliminating misaligned, freeing up even more time for the essential elements.
