I too am good a dreaming and not-as-good at planning. Which dreams do we want to try to bring into the world? is a good question I think. I’m trying to bless the dreamer in me while trying to get better at the latter.

This especially resonated, “Every yes to something is a no to something else. Every commitment to something is a departure from something else. If you attempt to say yes to all your dreams and desires, you will be spread too thin to accomplish any of them.”

Thanks Lacy! It is a bit Pressfieldian, isn’t it? Good connection.

I just shared this link with my boss as this is one of the big things we are currently trying to balance not just personally, but at an organizational level. I’ve actually been sharing your blog with several people at work, and they’re enjoying it. Keep it up man. I’m proud of you!
