What are those things...

That you keep bumping into?

They are usually the things that are left undone or unfinished, but
they are always around...that's why we keep bumping into them.

So if you keep finding yourself needing a little more elbow room, it's time to clean the
decks and handle what needs to be handled.

So strap up Rubin, and take care of them, and once you do, you will
feel free as a bird.

Whistle while you work?

The saying has been around for quite some time and it really does have
meaning.

It basically means putting in a little fun and happiness in your work.

Occasionally, work may demand all of our attention, but the majority of
the time, we can put a little fun and happiness into it, while thinking about
other things, and still handle, what we need to
handle - safely.

This is because attention is a cognitive process which allows us to do
more than one thing while keeping our "environment receptors"...in the
ready...just like when we are talking on the cell phone driving through traffic.

So next time you forget to put a little fun and happiness into your work, put some in
quickly, you should be safe, creative and the time will fly by.

If we really want to get something done...

All we need to do, is focus on it.

We're not just meaning giving it some occasional attention, but to make
it part of most every move we make and part of our vocabulary.

Just like Bubba, in the movie "Forrest Gump". Where all he can think
about is shrimp. He's going to open a restaurant someday and everything
is shrimp to him - barbecue shrimp. lemon shrimp, sidewalk shrimp,
potato shrimp...that's all he talks about.

So next time we really want to get something done, make sure our
focus is part of everything we do, considering if it's in alignment
with what we want, and a part of who we are, and part of our talk?

Remember this type of focus - slow and steady - will help us achieve
whatever we need to handle.

Things aren't going your way?

Well, stand in line, there are many others waiting too.

We would all like things to go our way - all the time - but that's not how life works.

But thinking back, we can remember times when things were really
"clicking" and we seem to be controlling the "dial" on the success
machine.

And those times will be back, when we least expect it, and we will be "clicking" once again.

We just need to be patient and do the things we may not like to, and
handle the things we are supposed to, because things will soon be going
our way, once we handle the things that were in our way.
