[Quote No.42934] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"...those who choose to refuse the call [to adventure] don’t have a life. Either they die, or, in trying to lead more mundane lives, they exist as non-entities, what T.S. Eliot called ‘hollow men’...If the call is heeded, however, the individual is invoked to engage in a dangerous adventure. It’s always a dangerous adventure because you’re moving out of the familiar sphere of your community!" - Joseph Campbell

[Quote No.43026] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. [Courage is about controlling what we imagine and what we focus our minds on. It is a skill. Anyone can improve their ability to focus on what they want. And the personal, moral, social and physical rewards can be astounding.]" - Maya Angelou

[Quote No.44105] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"Self-discipline is the cornerstone of my life. [It] means making simple little decisions. You have a cheese omelet instead of a hot fudge sundae. You exercise every day... You keep your temper – you don't go around reaming out everybody although you'd like to – you just shut up. You do the thing that's good for you. And it reaps such incredible rewards." - Helen Gurley Brown

[Quote No.44240] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"[A story - with a message about the power of focused attention:] 'Two wolves - A Cherokee Tale' - A Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between two wolves. One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, fearful thinking, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, ‘Which wolf wins?’ The Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one I feed!’" - Unknown

[Quote No.44568] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.
Some people fail at this point, afraid to reject a good alternative for fear that the loss will deprive them of some essential ingredient to their personal happiness. As a result, they pursue too many goals at the same time, achieving few or none of them.
" - Ray Dalio

[Quote No.44596] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"Remember: Designing precedes doing! The design will give you your to-do list (i.e., the tasks). Next, you and the others you need to rely on have to do the tasks that will get you to your goals. Great planners who don’t carry out their plans go nowhere. You need to 'push through' to accomplish the goals. This requires the self-discipline to follow the script that is your design. I believe the importance of good work habits is vastly underrated. There are lots of books written about good work habits, so I won’t digress into what I believe is effective. However, it is critical to know each day what you need to do and have the discipline to do it. People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can’t bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don’t like to do (or are unable to do). There are lots of tools that can help (e.g., thank God for my BlackBerry!) You need to know whether you (and others) are following the plan, so you should establish clear benchmarks. Ideally you should have someone other than yourself objectively measure if you (and others) are doing what you planned. If not, you need to diagnose why and resolve the problem." - Ray Dalio
(1949 - ), American businessman and founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates.
