Let me ask you another question
What is the shortest distance between two points?
This isnt a trick, the answers very simple yes its one that you were taught at school
A straight line !!
So what does this have to do with you achieving your dreams in the shortest possible time, before they fade away and you loose sight of them?
Simple, you need to be travelling straight towards them at all times. That way youll get there as quickly as you can.
So why dont you always head straight in the direction of your goals, why doesnt everyone always do that?
There are lots of reasons why people dont always head towards their goals. Maybe they make excuses like:
I just dont have the energy My cat/dog/goldfish was ill I was too busy (watching the television ) I was going to but my friend/distant aunt/uncle/cousin phoned I had other things on my mind
Or sometimes they get confused, theres just too many options to choose from. Or they actually start doing something and following a path and then some new fad comes along and they switch to that and then the next one and the next In the end they run around in circles getting nowhere. So many people flit around from idea to idea never accomplishing anything.
Or maybe they just overcomplicate things, adding lots of extra steps to get from where they are to where they want to be.
How many of these things have you done? Go on be honest
I know Ive been guilt of them all
Occasionally there are things that just cant be avoided major dramas, serious illnesses and accidents and these will demand your attention, slow you down for a while. But so often people let these events stop them completely.
None of these things have to happen. They are choices. We let ourselves get distracted.
Whatever your favourite form of distraction the result is that you loose sight of your goals and you waste your time and energy getting nowhere. Until eventually discouraged and disheartened you give up ever trying to reach that goal.
THE HABIT THAT CAN SAVE THE DAY
So how can you avoid the pitfalls of distraction?
Theres one very important mental habit that can make a difference, one learnt by all successful people in all walks of life business, the sciences, the arts .
** FOCUS **
Focus your mind and your energy on your goals. Dont let problems and distractions get in your way. Remember what you focus on is what you get. If you choose to focus on distractions then youll get nowhere. If you choose to focus on your goals, then you will get there.
Focus is a habit that you should practice daily.
** Take time every day to remind yourself where it is you want to go.
** Have a well thought out plan that clearly states where you want to go and how you are going to get there make it believable so that you dont feel tempted to change horses mid-stream.
** Every day plan the time you are going to use that day. Make sure you know when you are going to do the things you must do to get you moving forward that day.
** If distractions do come up, pause, take a deep breath. Remind yourself about your plan. Ask yourself does this thing help me or hinder me? Only do the things that help you.
USE THE RIGHT TOOLS
If you arent in the habit of focus it can be very difficult to do. You will need to work to change your habits.
Remember there are lots of tools out there that can help you to improve your focus. For example writing a simple to-do list every day helps a lot of people. If this isnt enough there are a lot of personal development tools you can find to help you focus better. You need to find some tools that work for you and start using them.

Do You Owe A Debt Of Thanks ?
Word Count:
711
Summary:
Most of us have been fortunate to have not just one person but a whole team of teachers, coaches, and mentors who helped us grow and reach our potential. We should remember to thank those people again and again as we live the lives they helped us shape. Even more important we need to repay that debt -- not to those individuals but to society. How is your debt? Have you paid it yet or are you still pretending it doesn't exist?

This is a time of year when many people take stock of all that they are grateful for -- or at least when we should do so. But this should also be a time when we take stock of all those people who contributed to those gifts -- especially the intangible ones. Those gifts such as our self-esteem or confidence, our love of sports or music, and our spine. What person or group do you owe the greatest debt? Was there a special person or group that really helped you become the person you are today?
Was there someone who helped you believe in yourself and your ability? Was there someone who taught you to appreciate life in a new way? Was there just someone who was there so you could count on them no matter what?

We often hear the expression as it relates to criminals. It is sometimes used as a euphemism for incarceration. The truth is though that we all owe a debt to society. Not because we have done some harm to the community but instead because we have benefited from someone else doing good.
I am a Presbyterian and our expression of the Lord's Prayer includes the phrase "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors". Obviously no matter how good we are and how exemplary our lives we can never repay our debt to God or his son so that part of the meaning is rather clear. I also think this means that we should do good for goodness sake rather than any potential benefit we may reap from the act.
I also think there is another level of meaning and this comes back to the central idea of our debt to society. I think when it comes down to acts of kindness there cannot be a one-to-one relationship. Obviously in many cases when a person is in need of help they may never be in a position to return that help in kind. But it isn't really what we want or need when we offer help or kindness in any case.
Whenever I do something charitable, helpful, or kind, I tend to view the act as contributing to a vast fund of kindness. Many times in my life I have profited from this fund and very likely I will continue to profit from it.
One of the reasons I like this concept is that I do think of it as a sort of fund or bank. The value grows exponentially rather than incrementally just as money would do if similarly invested. We should all be grateful for this because the truth is that we usually don't pay our debt to society.
Most of us will write the occasional check, buy a ticket for some raffle, and/or spend a few hours working here and there on some pet project. There are a few who will go much further than this and spend a large portion of their time, energy, and/or money for the greater good but they are far too few.
Often whenever we face pressure on our time or finances then it is our philanthropic activities that are the first to be sacrificed. I have been all too guilty of this myself. I wonder what would happen if we reversed this and instead put helping others first rather than last?
My challenge to you this week is simply to find a way to add to our goodness fund. Borrow from the concept of "Pay It Forward". When someone offers you a helping hand then be sure to pass the favor along at the first opportunity. Don't pick and choose. Don't balance your checkbook first. Don't take the easy path. Do what is right. You will know it when you see it.
