DON'T MISTAKE ACTIVITY FOR ACHIEVEMENT

Love this quote by Jim Rohn:

"Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?"

Reminds me of Coach Wooden's "Don't mistake activity for achievement." 

We talk to our team about this in terms of our motion offense quite a bit.  We want them to "move with a purpose" offensively.  Running around is not motion -- it's, well, running around.  Are you cutting to create help, screening to create help, maintaining spacing and balance?

But you can see that it also pertains to life as well.  Often we get got up being busying but not necessarily effective or efficient.
