A close friend once told me, "When you have your mind made up, you're one of the most productive people I know." That's what clarity of purpose does for me. I can tell when I'm not clear: I'm not moving. And when I'm not moving, I'm not productive. I might be busy, but that's not the same and I know it.
On some days, though, the fog is so thick! Stephen Covey talked about having a compass, a way to maintain our direction when we can't see the landmarks. I'm slowly getting better at paying attention to mine. I start to feel that pull. Then it's a matter of putting one foot in front of the other.
