Instead ---
Focus on
Learning. Instead of making a goal to achieve more in your
job, decide instead to read and
learn how to do one new thing each
week.
Focus on Time. Schedule your time to include what\''s important to you,
like reading time, or exercise time, or family time, or
learning time.
Focus on the Why. Instead of just forcing yourself to mop the kitchen
floor, tap into the higher goal that mopping the kitchen floor supports
(having a clean and healthy home).
How does that feel? Not bad, huh! If you focus on the
pleasure that a
desire gives you, you\''ll find it easier to put in the work that it
takes. (One author gives the example of giving blood --- while the
experience itself may be less than pleasant, the joy comes in knowing
"why" you\''re doing it).
And I absolutely guarantee that you will achieve more, maintain your efforts, and have a much better journey along the way.
Over the next 12 months, instead of focusing on the effort, FOCUS ON
THE JOY. Focus on the people and things that are most important to you.
Focus on the pleasure you get out of moving towards your goals. Focus
on the process of creating something, not what results you expect.
Invest in yourself more than you ever thought was allowed. Not only
will you reap rewards, but those around you will benefit more than you
ever believed. ( finished)
