Here, Here, Susan.  You hit the nail on the head.   Thank you for your comments.  I know that I struggled with this for years as I climbed the corporate ladder, and it is so ingrained in me that I continue to need a constant reminder to keep my focus on my priorities and my intentions and not get distracted by the "golden carrot" that gets dangled in front of me on a regular basis.  It saddens me to watch others struggle to the point of making themselves ill before they get it.
