Secret #98 Repent of the Pride of Busyness

"Driven people operate on the precept that a reputation for busyness is a sign of success and personal importance. Thus they attempt to impress people with the fullness of their schedule.

2. Are YOU hitting the bull's-eye?

If you can't answer these two questions, then it doesn't really matter how consistent you are.
