Sunday Story...The Big Picture

Is where we find our why. Why are you playing the game you are playing? Why do you do what you do? What is your raison d'etre? This is where our strategy lies. This is our vision...the big picture.

Unfortunately, the how is where we get caught up. The day-to-day slog drags us down and clouds our vision. The how we win this inning, this moment can often preclude moving toward our end goal.

The answer to the urgent issue may not be the answer that leads us to complete the important thing. This is the difference between strategy and tactics. My tactics are the immediate answer. My strategy is the long game. In too many cases losing sight of the overall goal results in short-term wins and then ending up on the short end of the stick when it is all over.

When starting your tactics first ask the question...will this serve my strategy and how? Sometimes going slow is the only way to go fast.

It does me no good to win the battle and lose the war.
