If You'd Just Focus
Hi Gang
If I could simply get you to focus for a few minutes each day on what you want out of life - I have no doubt you could achieve virtually anything you want.
Yet, the mass population does NOT focus on what it wants. Instead, the focus is on pleasing others and being liked.
Some time ago I came across a chart put together by the late Earl Nightingale, in which he ranked the 7 different levels of awareness.
They are as follows:
7. Mastery
6. Experience
5. Discipline
4. Individual
3. Aspiration
2. Mass
1. Animal
At the lowest levels of awareness, you'll see that people do what they do to survive and to get along with the masses.
Yet, 97% of the masses are not successful. They have no aspirations or goals; they have no focus; they have no daily discipline that they are working toward mastering – and because of all of the above - these people are NOT the sort of people you want to be taking advice from.
You definitely don't want to be modeling their behavior either.
If you want to get more living out of life and be more successful, you must model your life after the 3% who have not only "been there and done that" - but are STILL "there and doing it."
When it comes to your health this means that you model healthy and fit people. You do NOT model the average couch slug.
You do not model the person who is always sick - or the person whose body is in constant pain.
The people who have a daily discipline of exercise, eating well and living with gratitude, these are the people worthy of emulation. They are the people heading toward "mastery."
Become one of these people TO-DAY!
The best way to do so is by changing your environment - by bringing positive influencers into your life and eliminating the people who suck the marrow out of your bones.
Don't let others drain you of the focus you know you have within you. Surround yourself with DOERS - with people who are traveling along the path.
Take no crap from negative people and procrastinators. We are on a mission and we will not let our focus become distracted.
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome!
