• “You can use three questions on a regular basis to keep yourself focused on completing most important tasks on schedule…1.  What are my highest value activities?  2.  What can I and only I do that if done well will make a real difference?  3.  What is the most valuable use of my time right now?”  Eat That Frog, Brian Tracy, Page 30-31

  • “No question, anger focuses the mind. It’s an advance-warning system alerting us to threats to our well-being. When viewed this way, anger can be a powerful force for bringing about positive change. But it takes practice—and no small amount of courage—to be present with such uncomfortable feelings and yet not be swept away by them.”  Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success.  Phil Jackson and Hugh Delehanty.  Page 269
  • “Few players in my era prepared and practiced with my intensity. I was so driven to be the best player that I actually deprived myself of enjoying my success. I was obsessed with preparation. I was convinced that if I dedicated more time, focus, and sheer hard work to the game than my opponents did, I would eventually end up on top. And I did.”  Clearing the Bases (Schmidt, Mike;Waggoner, Glen) Kindle Location  1206-1209
  • “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives” President Nelson
  • “We know not what lies ahead of us. We know not what the coming days will bring. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith” Manual, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B Hinckley, Chapter 8, We Look to Christ
