"focus overrules vision"

"completing an endurance event has little to do with vision. My vision helped get me started, but it didn't get me across the finish line. What got me there was focus: being absolutely clear what mattered most, investing my energy disproportionally, following through on a plan, and making the right choices about what to do and saying no to other opportunities. In short, focus enabled me to make the trade-offs I needed to achieve my vision. It always does, in training and in business. The first Rule of Intelligent Restraint, "focus overrules vision," reminds us that what we don't do matters as much as what we do."
