A Deeper Yes Burning Within

Stephen Covey: "It's easy to say no when you have a deeper yes burning within." He makes this comment in the context of the importance of having a personal mission, with clear goals flowing from that overarching purpose. He poses a related question, what is one thing, if done consistently, would move you closer to your goals? I find this a helpful question to think about when prioritizing. It's much more than just coming up with a task list, but focusing on, and blocking chunks of time for those things that will really move me forward to what I want to accomplish.
