Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed with the multitude of demands in your life? Here are 8 thought-provocative and powerful perspectives on getting back to a fulfilling life with purpose, intention and focus:
1. Having a focus is a by-product of purpose. The clearer your purpose in life, the more focused you are on the areas that really have priority in your life.
2. Good habits are hard to develop, and they’re easy to live with. Bad habits are easy to develop, and they’re hard to live with.
3. Something that is worth doing is worth doing well.
4. Always give without remembering. Always receive without forgetting.
5. Extraordinary people always are very good listeners. Make listening an intentional focus of habit.
6. It doesn’t matter how much you know or what you can do. What really matters is what other people believe and perceive you can do for them.
7. Our state of being leads to our state of doing. We have to “be” before we can “do.” Be authentic.
8. There are no rose gardens without thorns. When things get tough, the tough get going. Consistently execute, and persevere.
Those ideas are published in my book STAND OUT, from the chapter “Nido Qubein on being focused”, page 52.
