…to get to the essential.

How do you determine what is essential to you and your business?

Commit to creating some transformation in the world. Transformation that leverages your skills and talents. Then start talking about it…and don’t stop. JASON LEISTER

In the book of Ichigo Ichie, authors Garcia and Miralles share in the chapter – Zensations:

Free yourself from everything that isn’t essential.

They suggest that as we traverse life’s thrilling adventure, that it is best to travel light. If you’re ever feeling overburdened, ask yourself – “What can I let go of?”

The other suggestion is to avoid distractions.

An old proverb says that a hunter who takes aim at two prey at once will kill none.

I often find myself attempting to follow a conversation, while responding to a text; or reading a book AND checking my phone. I forget, and remember tasks all day long in a constant tiresome loop. DISTRACTION.

Zen teaches that us to do one thing at a time as if it were the most important thing in the world. Which is what Jason is suggesting. Commit to that one thing and it is bound to become the most important thing in the world because that’s your intention.

Life is governed by principles.

In the Science of Getting Rich Wallace D. Wattles implores that you must put your WHOLE mind into present action.

If you act in the present with your mind on the future, your present action will be a divided mind and will not be effective…you cannot act where you are not, you can’t act where you have been and you can’t act where you are going to be.

You can act only where you are now.

Choose. Let go everything else. Focus and do today’s work well..
