Life will be more joyful if we keep it simple. Instead, we keep insisting that things are gray. We insist that it’s different shades of gray.

When working on your tasks, consider two questions. First, is this the best use of my time at this moment? Second, is this task bringing me closer to my goals? How about you? Do you focus on tasks that bring you closer to your goals?
