The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing – Stephen R. Covey

This is more than just a redundant phrase. The truth is that we often lose sight of where we want to be in life. Instead, we get caught up in the minutiae of what we must get “done” by some foreseen deadline. Measure things in the frame of your end goal.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going – Sam Levenson

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small – Lao Tzu

Things look difficult now, but they can be done. In fact, this is the easiest these things will ever be. If you start with doing little things, it makes the next step smaller. You can’t accomplish everything in a few short steps. It is a marathon.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated – Maya Angelou

Every setback feels like the end of the world, especially when you are so highly invested. You must remember that things are not easy. Every success story starts with a million tiny failures. If your failures are big, imagine the success you are in store for.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds – Gordon B. Hinckley

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows – Ralph Marston

Today is the day you get off the couch, literally and figuratively. Stop putting off things that need to be done. Every step you take today is one less step you have to take tomorrow and the next day. Start with small steps and the big steps are easier

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough – Og Mandino

Setback and failure are not the same. If you hit a snag, it doesn’t mean to sit down and never get off the bench again. The reason we procrastinate is because our determination is not strong. What do you really want in life?
