Comments on: On priorities: Which ball do you drop? http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/2010/03/22/on-priorities-which-ball-do-you-drop/ Everything rises and falls on leadership Thu, 17 May 2012 02:03:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Isabelle Alpert http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/2010/03/22/on-priorities-which-ball-do-you-drop/comment-page-1/#comment-3344 Isabelle Alpert Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:49:11 +0000 http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/?p=479#comment-3344 Think about it: A glass ball is not only more fragile than a rubber ball; it’s also more valuable. So why do so many of us devote ourselves to keeping the rubber one from crashing? Unfortunately, it seems that we are so consumed in the 'thick' of 'thin' things of life we lose our focus and perspective on that which is important. I have been so consumed with my business this year, that I have allowed some of the 'valuables' in my life to become 'scuffed'. This is when I take a step back and reassess my priorities and realign my goals and expectations. Think about it: A glass ball is not only more fragile than a rubber ball; it’s also more valuable.
