Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

? ? ? ? 'Tis to create, and in creating live? ? ? ? A being more intense, that we endow? ? ? ? With form our fancy, gaining as we give? ? ? ? The life we image, even as I do now.? ? ? ? What am I? Nothing: but not so art thou,? ? ? ? Soul of my thought! with whom I traverse earth,? ? ? ? Invisible but gazing, as I glow? ? ? ? Mix'd with thy spirit, blended with thy birth,And feeling still with thee in my crush'd feelings' dearth.
