“Every day during our personal and professional lives we are faced with a number of critical choices and decisions. Our responses to those choices, the decisions we make, have a lasting impact on our health, our relationships, our careers and our finances. In order for us to achieve excellence in our lives we must ask ourselves this simple, but powerful question throughout every day — What’s Important Now?”

– Brian Willis, Life’s Most Important Question

What stops you in your tracks?

Something that causes you to pause a moment and say to yourself, “Hmmm…this is important. What might I be wise to take from this moment?”

In other words, a reality check.

A few years ago, my day was momentarily halted…when I smack in the middle of completing a work task. I was e-mailing a few of my Etsy shop customers to let them know about a new product we had just launched. Since they had previously purchased similar products from me in the past, I thought they might be interest in our latest offering.
