Important but Not Urgent

Important but Not Urgent

The world moves at a fast pace. In an attempt to catch up, we live feverishly and are trapped in a society of constant urgent thinking.

It becomes exceedingly difficult to discern what’s important and what’s more important.

Because we hurry to do what we think we must do.

Because we forget to slow down when we need to think clearly.

Because we lose sight of more important matters that have ceased seeking our attention.
