Jon, thanks for reading and for letting me know this idea connected with you. It sort of fits with your post today about focusing, which struck a chord with me. I guess we're not alone in these daily struggles. Let me know if you have any luck in the upcoming weeks becoming more focused and slowing down, and what made the difference for you.

Lance, I'm glad the idea resonated with you, too. One of the things I like about it is how realistic it is. It doesn't ask us to slow our pace overall, thus losing momentum in our climb. It allows us to be the driven people we are, in bursts, as long as we remember to pause along the way. Now if I can only figure out how to practice this wise concept!
