Watch this powerful little video. It’s only 60 second long.

If you recognize yourself in it - ask yourself these two questions:

1. What is the character doing that I need to STOP doing?

2. What isn’t the character doing that I need to START doing?

Intentions are a great first step, but we need to constantly and consistently support them with certain beliefs, emotions and actions.

That is, until they actually invent the great machine from the video clip!

I know you have a million things on your to-do list (and they were all due yesterday), but I need your focus for just a few minutes. (How many times a day do you hear that?)
We all know that we success in any endeavor requires a certain level of focus. Everyone understands that this is important.

Everyone also understands that this is much easier said than done. Millions of people tuned in to see Oprah and Eckhart Tolle discuss the concepts of living a life that is focused in the moment. So are we to assume that those millions of people have now discovered their life’s purpose and are living in the moment? Not likely.

Life gets in the way. Sometimes it feels as though we are trying to swim upstream against the powerful currents of time.

In past posts, I’ve offered numerous tricks for staying anchored against the currents of time. Often they are inspired by “normal” yet unusual things such as a zen roadmap for your life that I saw in Japan.

Today I received another piece of wisdom from the Universe.  Musicians David Byrne and Brian Eno released a preview MP3 from a new album that they are doing together. The title of the album?

Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

Think about that one for a while and you’ll find that it really helps anchor you in the moment!

ENJOY NOW!

Hello everyone!

I’m actively working on Phase II of my life’s mission. This involves a new book, a new series of keynotes and some web-based programs and audio programs. But the part I’m most excited about is an intensive weekend retreat/seminar that I’m developing which has grown out of my current workshops.

If you would like a sneak-peek and would be interested in providing feedback - please let me know and I’ll put you on the list of “insiders”.  Just send me an e-mail with “Fearless Focus” in the subject line.  My address is patrick {at} mathieu {dot} com.

ENJOY NOW!
