 Imagine being on your pc playing music, examining emails, working on a
 document, Excel worksheet, and PowerPoint presentation, and looki...

 One of the main element ingredients for success can be summed up with one
 particular wordFocus! On which? Thats easyone point at any given time. You
 see, in this fast-paced, multitask society we live in, it appears we are
 judged by exactly how many different things we can do all at one time; yet
 the truth is, we can only do one thing well at any given time.

 Imagine being on your computer playing music, checking e-mails, operating
 on a document, Excel worksheet, and PowerPoint presentation, and searching
 for material on the Internet. Your system may move pretty slowly. Right?
 Guess what? Exactly the same applies to us. We can do things faster and
 better, when we concentrate on only one point at any given time.

 I do want to share the following example with you, to illustrate this
 aspect much more.

 Their 4th down, 12 moments stick to the time, and your team is down by 3
 points. You are the wide receiver in the greatest football game of your
 life, and you are contacted to get the game for the home crowd. You line
 up to begin with the final play. The ball is snapped and you rundown
 field.

 While the ball is heaved down industry in your direction, you feel the
 anticipation of the big event which will be planning to occur. It is
 envisioned by you all in your mind, step-by-step, move-by-move. You
 understand exactly what is going to happen.

 You get the ball. You put it in close with the outside arm to keep from
 fumbling. You twist left and then right, putting the defenders off guard.
 As more people run your way, you spin to the side, and avoid one close
 call after still another, while leaping within the opponents like they're
 nothing more than simple obstacles.

 You soar into the end zone. The gun explodes, stopping the game. Your team
 is victorious. Your teammates run the field and hoist you on their
 shoulders. The audience goes wild, chanting your name together.

 You're the talk of the town, later that night. Everyone else really wants
 to have an instant of your energy to share with you great job! or move
 your hand or pat you on the back. This is your time to shine! All the
 years of training and hard work have paid. All eyes are for you. You are
 the man of the hour. Then BAM!

 Your mind gives you back once again to the minute. You're lost in your
 imagination. You lost focus and redirected your thoughts and energy. The
 cross is drawing near. The ball is juggled by you as you begin to perform
 for the target. The ball is never firmly in the hands. The ball slides
 throughout your hands to the ground. The crowd goes silent in shock.

 The only thing you hear is a voice inside saying one of the coachs
 standard lessons, Before you can do anything else, you first have to catch
 the ball. The rest is unnecessary, before you do that.

 Now, I want to ask youdid you catch the ball? Just how many things are you
 juggling in your lifetime?

 Learn how to grasp it well, focus on a very important factor, and then go
 on to a different. Target will be the missing element in your formula for
 success.

 Most useful wishes and anything you do.. Hold smilin :) Greg
