As kids, I know thinking about the future and the world aren't at the top of the list. It's all about the here and now and having fun, which is exactly the way it should be. But for a few minutes I want you to do exactly that. What if you were to actually to do everything you told yourself that you wanted to do to improve your life now and in the future? Would it even be possible? When I think of the laundry list of things that I think would lead to a better life for me, it would mean significantly less time for personal time, work, and any sort of social life. And when I got to thinking about it, I wondered, when I make a laundry list of all these things, is it any wonder that I don't do ANY of them? I don't think so. So what I've found that works best for me, is boiling my list down to ONE SINGLE thing.
I don't try to prioritize or decide which is most important. Rather, I listen to my intuition and make a gut decision... and I make a commitment to that ONE thing... and put all my attention on that over the course of 3-4 weeks. Just spend a few minutes on it a couple times a day and it won't seem overwhelming. Not only does this help me to accomplish that one thing, it helps me develop self-trust. So that my psyche starts to trust me when I say I'm going to do something. I may not be perfect, but I set myself up for as much success as I can this way. For me, my ONE thing for the next month is 5 minutes of meditation each day.
If you had to boil YOUR list down to just ONE thing for the next month, what would it be?
