In life there are many things we choose to focus on. What are some areas that you lack focus? Do you have ambitions to excel in one area? How can you double down on your focus? Think about the power of energy when properly focused. It is like the sun burning through a piece of paper. When focused, your results can be tremendous. When unfocused your results may be sub-par. The choice is up to you. What will you focus on?

It took an earthquake for me to remember and appreciate the fragility of life. Life happens whether we are ready or not. It doesn’t wait for us to prepare. It just happens. Tomorrow is never promised for us and today could very well be our last. Be thankful for breath and life. Be grateful for the little things. The things that we can cherish today. For we live every day. We only die once.

There is a method I have been using to kill procrastination. I got this method from Elliot Hulse and it is called “Commit Once”. With this technique, all you must do is commit one time to the thing you want to do and then do that thing every single day. No matter what. You do the thing. After a while you become a machine and the thing you are doing becomes automated. Develop this power of focus. Do the thing and you will have the power. Do not the thing and you will not have the power.

Join me and Autumn from the “Life x Mo” podcast as we discuss anxiety, embracing the present, defying the odds and turning negatives into positives.

This morning Mantra is a simple one but can have a great effect on your life and perspective. It will remind you to be kind to yourself and to realize how far you have come in life. When you reflect on your progress it can encourage you that, even though you are not perfect, you are still moving forward. Use this Mantra to see the silver lining and remain positive in the face of adversity.

You can always let your light shine. No matter what happens. No matter what time of day. You can still and always let your light shine. Life has a tendency to change at a moments notice. We know that it can get dark sometimes. Still, we can let our light shine. When people mistreat us or are rude, we can let our light shine. Any instance you can think of believe that it is an opportunity to let your eternal light shine.

Noticing a man throwing up this morning compelled me to make this episode. We must be able to work in harmony with our bodies. Often there is a healing process that we forgo because we neglect or are not aware. With more awareness, we can serve our bodies and our bodies will serve us. With this kind of relationship, life suddenly becomes more manageable. Don’t make the mistake of taking health for granted. Befriend your body today.

If you do not know where you’re going, you may end up where you’re headed. In life, when you have goals and dreams that you want to achieve you must stay the path. To stay on course and be focused takes discipline, but the price is well worth the reward. Don’t end up somewhere on accident. Rather, decide to be somewhere on purpose. When we do what is hard our lives will be easy. But when we do what is easy our lives will be hard. Stay the path my friend.

In your life have you thought about things that you have not yet done? Things that you’ve been putting off? Letting sit on the “back burner”? When will it be the right time to get back to them? Remember, my friend, that tomorrow is not promised. We have today and that is all we have. Make it last and make it count. Today is the day to make it right. Start by making it now.

We cannot go back and make a new past, but we can start from now and make a new ending. We all make mistakes in life. It is apart of being human. How will you respond to those mistakes? How will you learn from them? To make sure they don’t happen again? Reflect on this and realize that it’s not over. Tomorrow is a new day.
