"Focus"

January 25, 2012.........

I  woke up about an hour ago and wondered "what happened?"  A few minutes ago it was yesterday, I know I logged in under January 25, but today, this morning is January 26.  I came home last night, crawled in my bed and didn't move again til 5am.  I did nothing remotely close to taking care of my own personal needs yesterday.  In trying to stay balanced, I know that I must also stay focused.  Yesterday, everything and everyone was a priority.  This will be the last time I take a current day and focus on a yesterday.  I believe in the power of today, the here and now, yet I can't dismiss yesterday as if it didn't happen.  It's understanding yesterday, that will help me with today.

It really is coming down to being able to manage my time better. I must take the time that I do have and put Lolita on the appointment book.

"Strive. Wait. Pray. Be proud. Try to find your outer limits, and don't worry about falling on your face."  --Percy Sutton

Today I will start with this quote:

"I am your constant companion.  I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.  I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.  I am completely at your command.  Half the things you do you might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.  I am easily managed--you must merely be firm with me.  Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.  I am the servant of all great men; and alas, of all failures, as well.  Those who are great, I have made great.  Those who are failures, I have made failures.  I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a man.  You may run me for profit or run me for ruin--it makes no difference to me.  Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.  Be easy with me and I will destroy you.  Who am I?  I am habit!!"   ---Anonymous
