The genius of the Covey/Franklin Calendar, for me, was the format linking the daily calendar to both short and long-range
goals - to facilitate the planning of daily activities that moved one in the direction of enduring personal and professional
goals......emphasizing the 'important' over the 'urgent' and adding meaning to each day.
Also,
there is such value in considering the Winston Churchill story of his asking two people what they were doing, with one answering
'Laying bricks or building a wall' and another replying 'Building a Cathedral.' Perhaps they were both
happy men, but the notion of building a cathedral clearly is a useful perspective.

Meaning - What I Am Doing? & Why Am I Doing It?
Consider the Mobius....."You’re not going to find the meaning of life hidden under a rock
written by someone else. You’ll only find it by giving meaning to life from inside yourself." (Dr. Robert Firestone,
author and psychotherapist, in A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink p. 216 ).
Meaning (& Truth)
Pantheism - Emerson, Thoreau, Lincoln, Einstein, Taoism
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could
not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was
not life" Thoreau left Walden Pond on September 6, 1847.[29]:244 At Emerson's request, he immediately moved back into the
Emerson house to help Lidian manage the household while her husband was on an extended trip to Europe.[42] Over several years,
he worked to pay off his debts and also continuously revised his manuscript for what, in 1854, he would publish as Walden,
or Life in the Woods, recounting the two years, two months, and two days he had spent at Walden Pond. The book compresses
that time into a single calendar year, using the passage of four seasons to symbolize human development. Part memoir and part
spiritual quest, Walden at first won few admirers, but later critics have regarded it as a classic American work that explores
natural simplicity, harmony, and beauty as models for just social and cultural conditions."I left the woods for as good a
reason...."
