Focus On The Task At Hand

I believe Ghandi said this, or something similar.
Our lives are defined by the moments that
we are DOING something. Taking action.
Things at rest, tend to stay at rest.
Focusing on exactly what you are doing,
right here, when the time is now, will have
drastic consequences.
What happens, when a ship sails 1 degree of course,
over the course of thousands of miles?
You’ll probably be a continent away.
Sometimes, you might get distracted along
the way. That’s okay though, it COULD happen
to the best of us.
Which is why, if you want to accomplish anything,
you need to focus on what result you want, from
the actions that you are doing.
If you want to become an amateur at a sport,
or even a professional, you must focus on
each component of the sport, every second.
Victories are won by INCHES and SECONDS.
Think championship, in every rep, in every push.
Don’t just have get a ‘second wind’ of energy,
get 10 ‘second winds’ 10 times if you need to.
There is a point, where yes, you have done
all you could do for that day.
It is okay, to reward yourself for your accomplishments.
That is actually one thing that I had failed to
do for so many years.
As soon as I achieved something, even if it was something
that less than 0.01% of people every do, I brush it aside.
Not in the sense that, I am not honorable, but in the sense
that okay, I did this, now I need to accomplish more.
I need to go bigger, go greater.
My masterminds have gotten intense.
Imagine, speaking with someone that
has lived and done things that you
have only dreamed of?
Imagine, if now, that turned around, and
you were the one sharing your stories,
of traveling the world and visiting exotic
beaches around the globe.
How would you get to someone, that had
no hope, that had no success story, that
literally needs to be told what to do, but
not like a minion, but as a leader.
Leaders are not born, they are created.
You can learn the ways, to attract positive
things in your life.
Karma, does come around.
And its for the best.
Sometimes, the universe has to nudge you.
Sometimes, your friend needs to be blunt.
Sometimes, you’re greater than you think you are.
So once again. Focus.
Lean in and concentrate.
What is it you want? Why do you want it?
And how can you share something positive
in return for getting what you want?
What will you do for society?
Will you lead with valor, backed by
honorable merits?
Will you give back to your community?
Will you, listen to the little guy, whos
frustrated and struggling? I do.
I was that guy. I needed someone to
listen to me. And I got what I wanted.
I room full of thousands of people.
Sharing some of my most struggling
moments in life, which took a burden
off my shoulders like you couldn’t believe.
I was free, to live out my own destiny.
I was no longer restricted, tormented,
by negative influences.
Procrastination ended instantly.
When I decided that to happen.
Live your live, how you decide.
I am sure, that you will feel better.
Truth of the matter is, you are
either getting your way in life, or
you are not.
How did I get my way in life?
See you in the club,
Scott
P.S. Focus on greatness. Do not settle for less anymore.
