Tyranny of the immediate

I think it was General Albert Orsborn who coined the expression 'the tyranny of the immediate.' There are lots of things that call for our immediate attention. So we all can be so busy seeing to the immediate, we fail to spend time planning for the long term. In other words sacrificing long term interests to short term success.

We need the help of God's Holy Spirit to give discernment and direction in our lives. Without Him I cannot plan ahead and without Him I dare not move ahead.
Spirit Divine, lead me I pray.
