The Importance Of Being Fully Present

                                                    "If you chase two rabbits,
                                                                  BOTH will escape"

Don't allow anything to capture your attention unless it is in the best interest of the task at hand.

Concentration will keep out clutter, noise and other distraction that will keep you from completing your task.
Wherever you are... be there!

Learn to concentrate on what you are suppose to be doing for the moment. You can't be thinking of everything you need to be doing... all the time. 

It is exhausting and it will lead to burn out.

You must learn to concentrate on just one thing at a time. 

A project, a job... you must take it one task at a time until you complete it.

Can you imagine if you were a mountain climber and you lost your concentration for a second... you could fall and die. 

How about a tennis player... if you lost your concentration for a second or two.... you might loose the game.

There is no such thing as multi-tasking. 

It is called task-switching and it will only slow you down.
Your brain can only concentrate on one thing at a time. 

So do what you have set out to do. 

Keep your mind on that one task.

Why?
Because if you don't, you won't be able to accomplish anything.

It takes a lot of discipline to not answer the phone while you are in the middle of doing a task. Or checking your emails and social media. 

It will take a lot of discipline to keep the "do not disturb" sign up when you are working on a project.
Concentration takes a lot of discipline.

Concentrate on the work a hand and demand of yourself the discipline of staying focused.

Just remember when you are at work...WORK!

When you at home with family or with your friends... BE THERE!

"Learn to concentrate single-mindedly on the most important thing 

  that you can be doing at any time."

Activate Your Personal Power

                              Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: 

                                            the future can be better than the present, 

                                                   and I have the power to make it so.

The source of personal power starts with YOU.

When you are in better shape physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually you are more capable of negotiating more effectively. You make better decisions. Your creativity flows. You are a better manager when it comes to people around you. Your relationships improve.

Changing yourself is the first step in changing your relationships - both at work and your intimate relationships.
It starts with YOU.

Taking action is a way of building more personal power in your life.
Any muscle that you don't exercise on a daily basis will eventually get weaker. Same thing with taking action... it is also a muscle. Have you used it lately?
The way to build a muscle is to start small and then build daily.

Today I have a very simple exercise that you can do to immediately increase the quality of your life.  You will feel good and your self-esteem will soar... because you actually followed through.

Right now think of two actions that you have been putting off for a while.
Two things that you should do. Two things you need to do but you are constantly putting them off.

Maybe it's making a phone call or two
Starting a blog
Quit smoking or drinking
Saying NO
Re-connect with a friend or family-member
Losing weight
Limit certain foods in your diet
Asking for a raise
Change job
Saving money

Pick two actions that would immediately change the quality of your life.

What are those two action?
Decide and commit to follow through. This is it!!!

There is tremendous power in making a decision and then immediately follow through on your decision.

You can start with something small - then build.

- Write down the two decisions that you made.
- Take action on them immediately - RIGHT NOW!

Don't put it off another minute. Do whatever it takes. There is power in momentum. Don't wait or delay.

Decision - Commitment to follow through - This will create PERSONAL POWER.

Go For It!!!

If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
