Focus

Focus.

Focus. Focus. Focus.

In everything that you do, focus.

If you're talking on the phone to a friend, focus. Make your mind and attention as present to that person as your voice is.

If you are filing at work, focus. Take that menial, mundane task and do it right.

If you are exercising, focus. Are you fatigued? Are you pushing yourself as hard as you can. Do you have proper form? Learn to recognize your body's signs and know its limitations. Only then can you improve.

If you are eating, focus. Savor the taste of the food and think about what it is doing for your body. Is it nourishing you or is it just a little snack? Should you keep eating or are you already satisfied?

If you are driving, focus.

If you are tying your shoe, focus.

If you are walking into a new room, focus.

If you are writing a blog entry that six people will read, focus.

If you are singing in the car alone, focus.

In everything that you do, focus.

When you focus on what you are doing, you become aware. When you are aware, you learn. When you learn, you gain control. When you have control, you can change yourself as you see fit.

If you do not focus on the little things, the big things will never change. We are what we do habitually and life is but a series of small seemingly insignificant moments. Squander one moment and you may squander a lifetime. Make the most of each, big and small.

All you have to do is focus.
