Focus on Living Your Values

When you are scattered, you do not focus. When you are without direction, you get lost. When you are distracted, you lose your way. When you are listening to others, you forget yourself.

Above all else, what is the focus of your life? Beneath your focus, what is your intention? Under your intention, what is your highest purpose? Within your purpose, what is the calling of your heart?

You may get lost in their everyday concerns. Usually people want to do what is expected or required. You may serve the needs of society or of the laws of the land. Do you ignore what you know is right because you are satisfying your own needs?

Where are your values and ethics? Where do you put first things first? When do you live with principles leading your choices? How do you claim your natural inheritance of peace if living in conflict?

In this year 2015 it is time to put your mind on what matters to you. In this year it is your opportunity to clear our the distractions, delay, disappointments and detours. In this time it is important to simplify and clarify what really makes a difference, Give this year your place to clear the clutter and cobwebs and focus on your own direction and purpose.

Step away from the TV and video games and sources of distraction and focus. Sit down and write out your goals, priorities, values and direction. Take time each morning in bed or shower to set your desired outcome for the day. Stay focused on your goal with intention and commitment until achieved.

Be willing to forsake pleasures and short term gratification until you complete the tasks. Homework first and then time to play. Clean the house and then you can call your friends or read the book. Be appreciative of your partner and kids each day in the morning and at night.

Notice how good it feels to keep your focus. Be aware of how much follow through you need to have your goals accomplished. Work at maintaining your integrity with all promises kept. Give time to what really matters to you and you will make a difference in your own happiness.

What are your True Values? Make sure they are within each decision you make. Live your values in every relationship and your daily life. Give your Self to being True to you and experience True Success.
