“You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.” ~Les Brown

It is sometimes easy easy to lose your focus on your big dreams in the midst of everyday life. This is especially true when we get busy with the holidays or other demands on our time and energy. You may have to attend to the small things in your midst, but keeping your eye on where you are really going is essential. Think of it this way: If you are driving in lots of traffic, you have to pay attention to the cars and pedestrians around you, but you still need to be looking ahead to where you are going. Your journey to greatness is the same. You always need to keep your focus on where you are going. That way you can choose your route more effectively.

This week: Remember to pay attention to your big dream. What is your goal? Write it down. Look at the activities, tasks and appointments you have in your life this week. Ask yourself: How are these related to my big goal, my big dream? Just notice. See if you can find the connection. If there are no connections (which is unlikely, even if the activities your are involved with are teaching you about balance and time management), create an activity that WILL carry you forward toward that big goal. It can be small. Just something to keep you moving on your journey to greatness.
