Quotes:
“Knowing your destination is half the journey.”
“Too often we're stuck in the murky middle, unable to really decide, because we haven't been clear.”
“Nothing in life that's worth doing is ever done without immense course corrections.”
“There is power in you to do what you may not think is possible, but you've got to get out of the murky middle.”
“It's not a time management problem, it's an emotion regulation problem.”
“The way to overcome procrastination is not a matter of finding more self-will, but rather learning to deal with our immediate negative mood.”
“Every breakthrough requires a ‘break with’.”
“When you give into that feeling of doing something you love, that you see is valuable or important, the voices of procrastination in your head are silenced.”
“Exercise integrity in the moment of choice.”
“God has given us a space between stimulus and response and in that space, in that moment, is where life's battles are won.”
“Begin today to choose in that space to exercise integrity, and watch the strength, and power, and peace that will come to you in your life.”
