Keep Your Life Focused by Making Right vs. Right Decisions [Brain Hacks]

Jim Collins said in Good to Great that "the enemy of great is good." The decision of which path/decision to make is then based upon our desired outcome (goal). If the decision doesn't clearly lead us most effectively in the direction of what we say we want to accomplish, it is then detrimental and should be avoided, eventhough it may be "good".

Stephen Covey says in Seven Habits of Highly Effective People to "begin with the end in mind". If we know where we want to go or want to accomplish we then can prioritize the steps we take so we can get there. This is a great book for helping to make some of those difficult decisions of life.

The problem that most of us have is that we are so short-termed in our thinking that we won't be disciplined enough to put off in the short term for what we will gain in the long term.
