HeadlessChicken

My lovely bride of 49 years and I live on our ranch. 

Some of the critters we raise are chickens. From time to time we harvest chickens. A chicken with its head removed will run around burning up remaining energy like crazy -- aimless, nondirectional, frantically -- until it drops.

When we look in the mirror and see the same kind of behavior in ourselves, it's probably time to pause, prioritize, recalibrate, realign our time/effort/energy to our desired outcomes. 

As with all metaphors and analogies, this one has some weakness. But, I'm betting you get the point.

Whatcha aiming for today?
