First Patch The Holes

‘There’s no point in filling the bucket without first patching the holes.’- Bill Hybels

Do not forget why you are doing what you are doing. It is not about what you are doing. It is about how you are doing it.

When you are tired, take a break. Stop doing when you are tired. According to Bill, ‘When your tank is empty, you have nothing to offer anyone else. You can’t give what you don’t have.’

Don’t Lose Your Ability To Focus

‘When we get depleted, we get scattered. We lose our ability to focus, and we jump from distraction to the next with little to show for it.’- Bill Hybels

When it comes to success, your success, your focus is important. It is very easy to get distracted.

To avoid distractions, focus on what matters to you. Focus on your career. Focus on your health. Focus on making a difference in the world. Do not focus on what is not working for you.

Don’t lose your ability to pay attention to what you want for your life. Whatever you want to do with yourself, you can do it.

To make it happen, you must not ‘… confuse motion with progress.’ Because it is not.
