I just read a New York Times article that scared the crap out of me.  Not so much the topic, but instead the underlying theme to the piece – that while we’re fixing healthcare and trying to fix Afghanistan, the rest of the world is doing business…and maybe leaving us behind.

Which led me to bring that premise down to a more personal level, thereby begging these questions –

Am I focused on the right things in order to achieve success in the new decade?

Am I still fighting old battles that are better left alone?

Hell, am I even on the right battlefield?

There’s a wise old southern saying that goes (I paraphrase) – “It’s difficult to remember that you came here to drain the swamp when you’re up to your ass in alligators.”

Or better yet as Sun Tsu put it in his masterpiece The Art of War – “There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked…”

Remember your purpose and that it’s OK to leave some battles not won because the ultimate goal is to win the war.
