I can remember when I was a little kid all the rage on the playground was spinning a wooden top. The memories of winding about a 2 or 3 foot string very precisely around the top are still vivid.
Of course, it wasn’t winding the string that was the big deal. The big deal was going through the correct arm and wrist motions to throw the top into spinning on the playground surface.
It was always amazing and exciting when I accomplished the perfect release and the top seemed to spin forever!
However, the top always moved around from where it first contacted the playground. It was like it was confused and didn’t really know where to go.
You can end up in a similar situation if you throw yourself out there and get to spinning in total confusion. You can’t do that and expect to feel in control of today let alone tomorrow.
What follows are some ideas on how to spin your days into control, so you won’t have a topsy-turvy tomorrow.
I can envision you right now!
Busy! Busy! Busy! Running from hither to yon with your "multi-tasking" approach to your life. No time! No Time! Must get everything done!! Can't stop or failure is inevitable!
Your life has become a frantic skitter from place to place and task to task because YOU have allowed it to become that way.
No!
I don't accept that in your mind the problem is created by other people. The only reason other people may be contributors to the issue is because you allow them to.
It's time!
You must have a look at where you are and where you want to be.
You can't find out where you are if you don't stop trying to get where you're going, at least temporarily.
I'm not talking about a yearlong sabbatical. I'm talking about disciplining your life oh so slightly so you can have a look at your situation and your desires at least daily.
If you don't stop and have a daily look, you will fail miserably weekly, monthly, yearly and before you know it, throughout your lifetime.
SO…daily have a look at:
What you accomplished today
How that impacts what you want to accomplish tomorrow and the next day
Truly look at each member of your family and connect with them personally.
Look at some aspect of nature and commune with it momentarily.
Look into your essence…Your spirit and how you can nurture it.
Look around you at the rest of the world and truly connect with what's going on.
Daily have a look at these things and you will have a much clearer look at your future.
What specifically are you going to do to leverage today so you can take better charge of tomorrow?Please share your thoughts by commenting below.
