The 365 Commitment

First Things First

I need to just get the most important things done first. This just needs to become part of my life. If it is really important to me, I need to do it first. End of story. No more messing around. The most important things to my life, my goals, my ambitions, need to happen before anything else can cloud my life all up. In fact, whatever I choose to do first is probably my master anyway.

So if I wake up and start down a path that keeps me from focusing on what is important, than I have allowed myself to be ruled by another master, one that probably does not have my best interest at heart. Time to change that.

First things first from now on.
