Q: What prevents capable / driven people from breaking through to the next level?
A: Success
Success becomes a catalyst for failure...
...because success often leads to the undisciplined pursuit of more.
By focusing on a few things that are really essential, we are actually able to make a more valuable contribution. When people really get the chance to think, they can quite easily discern between what is essential and what isn't.
The problem is that we don't have the space to take the time to discern, to think. In a world where we have so much information, we need more time to think, to process, to see the bigger picture.
