There is something powerful about being quietly intentional. Not anxious. Not obsessive. Just awake. Unwilling to compromise your character. Taking care of what has been entrusted to you before neglect creates a crisis. Too many problems that feel sudden were actually developing for a long time while no one was paying attention. Too much opportunity is lost putting out avoidable fires. Stay alert to the details of your relationships and enterprises, and handle the small stuff before it becomes big stuff.
