We are taking something that was given to us as a blessing and we have misconstrued it. God doesn’t give you any task that we don’t have the time and resources to complete. We get ahead of ourselves without consulting the one that is giving us the task.<br> <br> “If there were no financial limitations or geographic boundaries, what would you do with your life tomorrow?”<br> <br> “Here is what would help you more than anything: Spend your time on paper first before you do anything, and plan out your focus months down the road. If it is on the calendar, it will happen, and when distractions come along, you know you can’t go after them because it is not part of the plan. Keep the “shiny objects” at bay.”<br> Further Recommended Reading/Development:<br> Essentialism by Greg McKeown: <a href="http://buff.ly/2bATrjq">http://buff.ly/2bATrjq</a><br> <br> Mindset by Carol Dweck: <a href="http://buff.ly/2bJooU3">http://buff.ly/2bJooU3</a><br> <br> Procrastinate on Purpose by Rory Vaden: <a href="http://buff.ly/2bJomeP">http://buff.ly/2bJomeP</a><br> <br> VFT: What Do I Want/Personal Assessment Documents,: <a href="http://www.viewfromthetop.com/success101">http://www.viewfromthetop.com/success101</a><br> <br>  <br> How to Connect With Aaron Walker:<br> View From the Top Website:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.viewfromthetop.com">http://www.viewfromthetop.com</a><br> <br> Aaron Walker on Facebook:<br> <br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AaronWalkerViewFromTheTop">https://www.facebook.com/AaronWalkerViewFromTheTop</a><br> <br> Aaron Walker on Twitter:<br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/VFTCoach">https://twitter.com/VFTCoach</a><br> <br> Aaron Walker on YouTube:<br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/vftcoach">https://www.youtube.com/user/vftcoach</a><br> <br>  <br> How to Connect With Jarrod Warren:<br> Enjoy the podcast?
