Life Attitudes
"It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny." -Anthony Robbins
"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses." -William Arthur Ward
"When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them. Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time. Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools." -Michael Leboeuf

Seeds of Success: Greater Focus Maximizes Life
By Robert A. Prentice
In the past, I have prided myself in being able to get several things done simultaneously and always thinking that I was being so productive. Trust me, multitasking is not always such a great idea.
If ever you find yourself kind of scattered, messy, unorganized, and spinning a number of plates with some of them crashing to the floor around you this may be a clue that you are requiring greater focus.
I remember in my youth taking a magnifying glass outside and holding it just right so that the focused rays of the sun would quickly burn whatever I would hold it above. Those focused rays of the sun could get hot pretty fast. This is a great example of focused energy.
I also remember getting eyeglasses for the very first time and how things looked so much different when I put them on. What a surprise that the world around me came into such magnificent focus with everything being so crisp and clear. I like things in focus. I do not like fuzziness.
This week concentrate your energies, your ideas, your thoughts, and your focus on a specific project for a specific period of time. Right now, see yourself digging into any of your key projects a little deeper for an extended period of time. Invest more time in planning and organizing yourself for greater success.
The result of this commitment to greater focus will be greater productivity, and a healthier sense of satisfaction for a job well done. What a great way to maximize your life!
On the Sunny Side of Life: Kids Say the Cutest Things!
A five year old asked her granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember, you must look in the back of your underwear. Mine say five to six."
A four year old had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked, "How does it know it's me?
A little boy stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked, "How much do I cost?"
A five year old was in his bedroom looking worried. When his mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"
A four year old was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"
