It’s surprising how easy it is to lose sight of the important things
in life. Busy schedules and weekly routines have a tendency to put the
brain on autopilot.
Some of life’s essential truths need repeating. Keep this list handy and give it a read any time you need a boost.
1. Life is short
None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. Yet, when someone dies
unexpectedly it causes us to take stock of our own life: what’s really
important, how we spend our time, and how we treat other people.
Loss is a raw, visceral reminder of the frailty of life. It shouldn’t be.
A great day begins with a great mindset. Remind yourself every
morning when you wake up that each day is a gift and you’re bound to
make the most of the blessing you’ve been given. The moment you start
acting like life is a blessing is the moment it will start acting like
one.
2. Being busy does not equal being productive
Look at everyone around you. They all seem so busy—running from
meeting to meeting and firing off emails. Yet how many of them are
really producing, really succeeding at a high level? Success doesn’t
come from movement and activity. It comes from focus—from ensuring that
your time is used efficiently and productively. You get the same number
of hours in the day as everyone else. Use yours wisely. After all,
you’re the product of your output, not your effort. Make certain your
efforts are dedicated to tasks that get results.
