Your Pot Of Gold Awaits…

Hi There Everyone ☺
Do you realize that good fortune is within your reach?
If you just open your eyes and take the first step, you may be surprised at the riches awaiting you.
All of the chaos and distractions within your life can act like blinders and keep you from seeing how much potential there is within you and how many possibilities lay ahead of you.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the routines and responsibilities of your daily life are causing you to lose focus and miss amazing opportunities.
How many times have you made excuses for not getting what you really want out of life?
What do you blame for your lack of success?

We live in a world where multitasking doesn’t only seem necessary, it is also encouraged. People seem to think that the more balls you can juggle at once gives you a leg up. Each day, I watch humans (!!!) try to interact with each other, while responding to text messages, composing emails, and checking social media at the same time! With so much going on at once, there is no way someone can be successful at everything at once.
The saying fits:
“Multi-tasking…The art of messing up several things at once!”

Over the years, numerous studies have been done on the effects of distractions on the human brain. I’ve even previously cited a study held at the Institute of Psychiatry of London that measured how the constant flow of messages and information affects a person’s ability to focus on problem solving tasks.
It still alarms me that all the constant distractions surrounding the average human being (email, phone calls, texts, social media) cause a more negative impact on IQ than smoking marijuana!
It’s time to wake up folks! Multitasking DOES NOT boost productivity! When your mind becomes flooded with information, your ability to concentrate and make progress is greatly reduced.

This can’t be a surprise any longer, right? It’s time to accept that more does not always equal more. It’s not about how much you take in, but what you should ignore.
By sharpening your focus, you’re more likely to hit your target. I’m here to tell you that you have the ability to see through static and decide what’s most important to you and your goals.
It’s never too late to start again. Today is the day to start anew.
Just because you’ve been doing it a certain way all these years doesn’t mean you have to stay on the same path.
You’re in the driver’s seat and the opportunity is NOW! You’ll only regret the things you didn’t do, so stop making excuses. As cliché as it sounds, everything happens for reason.
You may (will!) stumble along the way, you may meet resistance, and you may even change your definition of success, but as long as you keep moving forward and learn from your mistake, then nothing can stop you.
Think about it.
Well, these motivational talks are exhausting. I think I’ll go stare out the window at the melting snow while I day dream of summer.
What’s next for you?
I’m not saying you have to give up your devices, but maybe just reevaluate your dependency on them. You are a living, breathing organism with a brain, freewill, wants, needs, and opposable thumbs ☺…and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a tad bit jealous.

You are more powerful than you give yourself credit for…
Weed out the distractions and drown out the noise and embrace the good fortune waiting for you.
Oh, another saying just came to mind that fits:
“The man who chases two rabbits, catches neither.”
You don’t need to find the end of the rainbow for your pot of gold.
