Fun & Focus
We all want life to always be fun. Truth is, it’s not.

I’ve learned that some of the hard things in life help us to enjoy the good things even more.

To reach our full potential and fully explore our gifts during our lifetime, we must focus on setting goals, working intensely, making great grades, training hard in our sport, etc. Easier said than done, isn’t it? I certainly don’t always feel like doing these things, yet, I know I must.

Here’s how I find the motivation to push through to do the hard things and focus on my goals: I trick myself. I change my thoughts and attitudes to make the activity FUN.

You can trick yourself, too. Smile and perceive the activity as positive. It starts with your thoughts...Thoughts affect attitude. Attitudes create actions. Habits display character. Character produces one’s life destiny.

Your life destiny starts with a simple thought. If you make that thought an “Attitude of Gratitude,” you can transform any activity into a fun one.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll help you work on having fun while focusing. These tips are centered on an “Attitude of Gratitude.”

Here are a couple of positive thoughts to employ this week. They’ll help you have fun while you focus on attaining the goals you have for your family, career, sport or academics.

1. Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?
2. As you push towards your goal …practice SMILING!

Have a blast this week and don’t miss next week’s habit!
