And there is a time and place to explore our new toys, skills and abilities. And a time and place to rein ourselves in and make the distinction. As you imply, it's important not to confuse the two.

I have a habit of confusing the two. I was recently involved in streamlining an involved process, and found myself excited about all the things I could now do with some new software I had gotten. Then I realized all my new "improved" processes added many new steps and took a lot more time. I re-evaluated what I was doing and found that some of my new processess where not helping to streamline the process and were really unnecessary. I just wanted everyone to know what I could do with my new "tools". I was mistaking all my activity for progress, so I curbed my ego and got back to the basics of what my goal really was.

I think its a great PowerPhrase; you have to watch your tone of voice when using this one.
