I'm a Secret Dropout — or the problem with 30 day challenges

Well, it is the 20th of March and I haven’t done anything about taking part in the 30 day Secret challenge I mentioned in the last post. I suppose I have a few too many irons in the fire at the moment. Scott, the nametag guy, had an interesting post on his blog yesterday about how the part of the Secret they don’t tell you about is the hard work it takes to make things happen. He mentions successful people and the effort they put into making their dreams happen.

I think that at its core, the Secret is about focus. You get what you pay attention to. That means that if you have big goals, you focus on them and tend to work toward them. If you focus on your problems, you are feeding them with energy and they seem to get worse.

Right now (on paper) my focuses are:

1. Home and Family – creating a clam, peaceful and happy home for my family (I *never* thought that this would end up on my list and I am mostly talking about having a clean house, healthy meals and time to play).

2. Getting my business together (finding a way to earn a living from home). I need to focus in on what exactly I want to do, I have too many different things I’m working on at the same time.

3. To be healthy so I can accomplish #1 and #2. I am training for a century bike ride to raise money and to get in shape. The hills and altitude in New Mexico are kicking my butt, but I think I will get there.

What are you focusing on right now?
