One sure way to get out of the rut of life, take a heart felt risk. Nothing stupid, hopefully that's understood. But when's the last time you broke away from the mundane routine, nothing will change unless you do. If the mundane routine is weighing you down, can't figure out what's next, take a heart felt risk. What's something you've always wanted to do, someplace you've always wanted to visit. Time isn't slowing down and none of us are getting any younger. The obstacles perceived are often to big or to heavy, maybe it takes to much energy or requires crawling out from under the self pity cloud that we keep following around, it's not following you! It's when we put forth a daring effort and take the heart felt risk, we find underneath the heavy obstacle the reward or joy we've been longing for. Steve Jobs once approached the then president of Pepsi. Steve saw a tremendous leader and offered him a job, the president of Pepsi couldn't understand why he would leave his prestigious job. Maybe it was to much of a risk, after all, being president of Pepsii is very good. Steve Jobs statement to the president of Pepsi goes something like this, do you want to keep selling sugar water or do you want to do something that will change the world. John Sculley became CEO of Apple in 1983.

Don't cut yourself short, cut yourself loose, and do something that will change the world by taking a heart felt risk.

What is the first step in gaining victory over anxiety? Not eliminating it, but conquering its effects of misery. It is to limit worry, to recognize and put up barriers. This simple act will eliminate 92% of fears. To look at it with common eyes, limiting the effects of worry may leave one free from worry 92% of the time. We should tell ourselves to stop trying to figure out our own difficulties. Our first impulse is to try to account for them, figure out why it's happened, and what happened. Sometimes such an effort is beneficial: more often it is distinctly harmful. It leads to introspection, self-pity, and vain regret; and almost invariably it creates within us a dangerous mood of confusion and despair. Many of life’s hard situations cannot be explained. They can only be endured, mastered, and gradually forgotten to the best of our ability. Once we learn this truth, once we resolve to use all our energies managing life rather than trying to explain life, we take the first and greatest step toward significant accomplishments in limiting the effects of anxiety.

Being so focused on the results, prevents you from developing to your highest potential. Listening to others over your heart, will place pressure on the way you live and perform. Whether the results are good or bad, it's not the top of the mountain or the end of the world. Being able to place less significance on results, lowers the pressure you place on yourself. The less pressure you place on yourself, the more focus you place on the process, and the greater the purpose you'll find in the present. Let go of trying to produce results, and start trusting the process of letting the results happen. Unpack the over analyzing thoughts of results. Avoid packing in to much "my" performance information, allow yourself to be flexible with situations that seem to have high demands. You possess the power to unpack useless thoughts, take control of the process, don't let pressure push you away from your dreams. Let the pressure of the process push you closer to the purpose of your dreams. Take nothing personal attitude allows you to believe in the process, set goals and let the process make you the best you can be.

There's never a time in life when you can't get better.

Where's your focus today, process or performance?
