Focusing ahead of the line means the future – the time between right now and everything that comes after this
Behind the line is the actions, decisions mistakes and successes of our past, the moments and years that existed just prior to this moment. We can’t change what is behind the line so the best we can do is learn from it and make decisions about what is ahead of the line.
We all have priorities but way too often we do not consider these when making a decision in the moment.
Right now – right here I can choose to include what is truly important in what I will say or do or I can settle for something that might look good and actually be a truly good use of my time, but if it does not help move me closer to my larger objectives or fulfill me emotionally by addressing a priority in my life then I have let good over ride great and mediocrity becomes acceptable.
