Focus...Not A Business Only Thing

"Focus is not a 'business only' thing. Each person has only twenty-four hours per day, and how we spend those hours shows what's important in our lives. The question we must ask ourselves is...Are we focusing on what really matters?" ~Mac Anderson

Focus. What do you focus on? Whatever it is, it's important to you. Is it important to the world or anyone else? Does it matter? What does your focusing tell you about what's important to you?

Mike Murdock said "The secret to your future is hidden in your daily routine." Is what you are focusing on a routine or something that really matters. Is it just a habit or a time waster?

Steve Jobs said "Focus means saying no to the hundred other good ideas." A real interesting way to look at things, isn't it. Most people see focus as what you focus ON rather than what you don't focus on.

How are you spending your days? Are you focusing on what matters?  Only YOU can answer that question...

Focus On Things Taken For Granted

“One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look at things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.” ~Edward de Bono

How willing are you at looking at things that no one else has bothered to look at? Are you willing to ask the question why do we do this that way? I hope so because it leads to the expansion of your mind and ideas. Think about that...the expansion of your mind. Are you willing to expand your mind or are you set in your ways and you "already know how to do that?"

Einstein said “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” Yet every day, we try to solve the problems that come our way without changing the level of thinking that created them. Are you guilty of this? I know that I am sometimes, but most of the time, I will try to add to my knowledge to deal with the problem that I created. Books, articles and mentors help.

Action:
Motivation...Every action, positive and negative comes from our motivation. Choose wisely, make that motivation a positive one. ASK! Always Seek Knowledge. Expand your mind daily!

Change Yourself?

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." ~Victor Frankl


Wow...have we missed this truth. Too often, we continually try to change the situation, trying different things, different ways, different ideas. All the while neglecting to change ourselves!!


Think about the last challenge that you had. Think about all the things that you did to rectify the situation. Sometimes you are able to fix things, but what happens when you don't? Do you ever even think about changing yourself?? I know that most of the time, I didn't. Now, I make sure that I look at myself and see if I need to change.


Action:
In dealing with your next challenge today, see if changing yourself will make a difference. I bet it will! Look at yourself from all angles and change what needs to be changed to solve the challenge!

Silently Wondering - Jim Rohn

"The worst thing one can do is not to try, to know what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent wondering if something could have materialized - never knowing."~Jim Rohn

How many ideas have you had that you never went after for "some reason???"

Everyday we get great ideas and then we talk ourselves out of doing them because of "some reason."

The 'some reason' is fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of change, fear of loss, fear of gain, fear of what other people will think...fear, fear fear. Why do we allow fear to control our lives? I wish I knew, but we sure let those fears dictate our lives.

We've all heard the acronym for FEAR: False, Evidence, Appearing, Real. But to us, we allow it to become real just by allowing it to cloud our mind. What do you do when you are confronted by those fears?

Think about all those ideas that were never pursued. The next time you get one of those ideas, don't allow 'SOME REASON' or FEAR dictate how you will proceed. Take the chance, break through the fear, find out so that you won't have to wonder for the rest of your life.
