Consistent focus.

Concentration has a way of working itself out... wmf

A Well Known Fact: From the ant to the spider, to the flower and the tree...all life has the tenacity to continue to be.

One of the benefits of How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is that every day you are required to consciously and intentionally use your ability to concentrate your attention on a specific task that may be outside of the scope of your normal routine, which can refresh your mind and keep you sharp. Concentration is essential in order to do and accomplish anything. There are some tasks that are easier than others and therefore the amount of concentration will vary in accordance with the amount of focus required for a specific task...however...if concentration hits near or about one hundred percent, results can occur in miraculous ways.

What we focus on expands...whether what we focus on is positive or negative it will expand as long as it receives attention from us. Concentration is like the point of friction between a match-stick and a striker and when the match (concentration) and striker (goal or objective one is seeking) come together correctly there is a flame (result produced). It is important to concentrate correctly on the results that we want while continuing to do everything we can to bring about our desired effect. We are all concentrating in some degree all the time, unfortunately most of us concentrate sporadically a little here and a little there. With no consistent or sustainable effort disappointment can be a frequent visitor in the lives of many.

Today’s How to be Happy in fifteen minutes or less is about concentrating on what you really want...and so for the next three hours for five minutes pick something that seems simple to have and for five minutes imagine that you have with you right now. How would having it feel, what would having it now make you think, what would having it now make you want to do....really play deeply with this one for the next three hours...be mindful over this day next few days as to any event or circumstance that comes up in relation to what you want and...

Have a great day!
