Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...


“Stop allowing your day-to-day life to be clouded by busy nothingness.”
~ Steve Maraboli

I can only speak for myself when I read the above quote. I find that there are those distractions that cloud my vision and I engage in the activities that accomplish absolutely nothing. Distractions abound - phone calls, emails, folks dropping by and the all important; doing what earns a living. All are diversions that can bewilder and cause commotion.
Looking at my calendar, I see and feel a sense of urgency. There are but a few precious weeks left before the clock strikes midnight. There is so much to do; I almost feel overwhelmed. Today, I will remain calm, focused and start eating the elephant one delightful morsel at the time.

Hi Michael.  Without my daily written work plan I could become easily derailed.

And remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. We sometimes have to stop and refill the energy tanks of our brain by whatever means we can find.
