About this episode

Focus on What’s Important

Are you the kind of person who is always running around putting out fires—fires you set? 

I think it is time we took away your matches and lighter fluid.

Keep these tips in mind:

1) If your life is non-stop drama, stress, and craziness, there is a good chance that YOU are the cause. There is also a good chance you won’t see it that way.

2) Living with your hair on fire will keep you so busy you will spend years wondering why you can’t get what you want.

3) When you STOP doing anything that results in more craziness, you will find that life is pretty quiet. That’s when good stuff begins to happen.

It’s a Universal truth. 

You are 100% in charge of every action you take. Choose good ones. It makes life more fun.
