You may want harmony in a relationship, or a huge project to go a certain way -- or perhaps you want different outcomes than you are getting. In a variety of ways, we can sometimes become so focused on a particular outcome that we expend a lot of valuable energy trying to make it happen.  In the workplace, we can become driven to achieve. Corporate pressure drives executives to make decisions that can impact many people. We become deceived by the need to succeed at any cost in our venture.
In order to achieve real success, we must be sensitive to those around us who can give input to the direction we may be taking. Priorities for our lives will be confirmed if we are willing to accept input from others. It can come through a spouse, a co-worker, a boss, a secretary or any other trusted person. If you seem to be consumed with realizing a certain outcome or reaching a particular goal, take stock. Be willing to confer with trusted people in your life to see if perhaps your perspective on the importance of the outcome has become distorted. Be aware of situations that encourage you to press too hard. Achieving goals should be a result of following the compass of your life. Let results become a fruit of your strategic actions.
