The 365 Commitment

Never Leave the Primary

There is always a primary objective. We should never leave it. We should always be obsessed with it. Yet, why do we allow ourselves to get distracted from the primary?

It is like learning to improve a golf swing. The primary objective is to make crisp, solid contact with the ball in a straight direction. That is the primary objective. Yet we find ourselves obsessing with a bunch of small little tweaks that get us focused on all the wrong things.

It is like sales. The objective is to earn a profit, by which you get paid. Yes there are other important things, but that is the primary core of a sales job. How could we possibly forget that? Yet we do.

The primary. The main purpose. My main purpose in working is to provide for my family, that is primary, that is the core.
