Playing It Safe

The pressure of get it all done

We’re all in a state of despair these days over our inability to "Get it Done". We need to come to terms with the fact that one reason we’re having such a tough time is that we are still fundamentally failing to deliver value in all that we do, whether it fails or succeeds. Tension spans are short?

Starting my day and through out my daily activities, I lose focus and that can be hazardous to my health and welfare, and to that of those around me. My perceived need to be in more than one place at a time, I often find myself late, in hurry, short tempered and constantly playing catch up. Along with my internal to do list, I often find myself trying to do more than one thing at a time and am distracted by unsolicited phone calls-- especially cell phones while driving or doing other tasks. That is just as dangerous as drunk driving.

To my efforts in accomplishing my daily tasks, I am quickly and increasingly ignoring the danger to all concerned. My got to have it now attitude is a major impediment to healthy living.

Today, I am going to release that pressure. I am going to significantly improve my quality of life, by thinking safety in all that I do. Just as I demand from others, I am going to demand of myself. I am going to play it safe in all that I do.

Think safety first in all that you do! We should do all things passionately and courageously — not hiding who we are.
