Work

Work as though you don't need money... "I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." Helen Keller "Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. " Thomas Alva Edison

Have You Lost Your Focus?

We all know how important it is to focus on what we want. But what happens when we LOSE focus? It's easy to do, isn't it? We get distracted. Something captures our interest and diverts our attention away from our chosen objective. We suffer setbacks. Things don't work out as planned. Someone lets us down. Circumstances change and good plans go bad. We get interrupted. An important matter takes precedence--sometimes for long periods of time. We, or members of our team, get sick or hurt. We don't have the energy we had before and often find it slow to get back in the game. These things happen to everyone. And we have to be careful we don't think we're being singled out. The "Why is this happening to me?" question gets us nowhere. We must first recognize that we've lost focus. And at the earliest opportunity, we must recommit. We have to get back on the horse we fell off from and ride again. And this is what separates the winners from the...

Stop Procrastinating

We all do it—at least some of the time. We put off doing things we need or want to get done. Heck, I even wanted to put off writing this article. As I write this, it is raining cats and dogs outside and I can loudly hear the silence of the agents on the floor, yeah, slow day today, 4th of July. I also have a long list of other things to do. How much do YOU procrastinate? Do you think you do it a lot or a little? Here are 8 ideas from my great mentor, Mike Angier that will help you to get more of the right things done. First off, RECOGNIZE when you're procrastinating . All too often, we don’t even realize we're doing it. It's tempting to work on things that are more enjoyable. We can be busy, but we may be busy at things that are not the best use of our time. Hey, if you're going to procrastinate, at least enjoy it. CHOOSE to put something off and GOOF off. Commit to doing the unpleasant or difficult task for a short period of time . I will sometimes tell myself that I w...

PRAYER

I find this picture so interesting. This was taken at the plane when Eman and PJ are on their way to Cebu. This has melted my heart and gave me a realization that with all the things going on right now, we just always need to pause - and pray. Let me share with you one scripture that i have read today from Jon Orana of www.topbibleverses.com and helped me understand a lot of things. Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Burt had worked in high-rise construction all his life. Everyday he would walk the girders high above the ground with apparent ease. In his lifetime he had seen a number of men plunge from the girders due to a mere moment of carelessness. As for himself, he knew he had been lucky. Each morning he began work only after saying a short prayer, asking the Lord to watch his movements through the day, keeping him safe from any mishap. Though most of us never do anything as dangerous or risky as high-rise construction, we do stand in d...
