Want To Discover An Important Lesson In Self Mastery?

Hello and Happy Memorial Day to all of our Amercan friends!

Personal growth and transformation can occur in many ways - yet there are some key lessons that are fundamental.

Spring with its time of renewal and cleansing, offers us a great opportunity to reflect and to take stock of how the first 5 months of 2009 have unfolded.

"Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action."

Are you close to accomplishing what you had set out for the first half of 2009?

I must admit that though I have in many ways - in other ways I have not. And one of the reasons I did not is because I tried to focus on too many things at once.

I got caught in the trap of wanting things done quickly, and having them done yesterday. And yet, intellectually I do know better. It is not rocket science...

It is much more efficient and effective to learn and focus, on one or 2 new things (at most) and do them till they become habits, and then move on to the next item. Otherwise the mind, the energies and the stick-to-it-ness gets diluted and the results are not nearly as powerful.

A skill, an ability or a task done persistently and consistently for a period of 30 days, will bring about more results than something focused on sporadically for a longer period, and with efforts less than 100%.

It is much better to choose 1-2 things and make them priority for 4-6 weeks and then move on to the next thing. Otherwise you may just find that in some areas you are spinning your wheels.
