“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.”

There is nothing like being overwhelmed to force one into the practice of prioritization. Of course the same is true when nothing is happening. Being able to focus on what is truly important is the great secret regardless of what is going on around you.
