16. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

I loved the words and thoughts of the late Stephen Covey, who used to say that too many people get caught up “in the thick of thin things.”

He was right. You will avoid this trap if you learn to keep the main thing the main thing.

Keep the most important things right out front where you can see them. Give the important things your focus, your time, and your deepest devotion.
