We are always looking for something, something to make our training better, our skills better, our careers better, our home life better and on and on.
Sometimes what we look for is resources. Hooking up with the right people, the right school, networking, researching the Internet, looking for different tools and counsel to help us along the way. How to do this better or how to make something in your life better.
There is an endless supply of opinions and methods on "How tos".
Everything from "Abersicer...this will give you the abs you always wanted in 30 days!' to an "on line marriage counsellor...fall in love with her all over again!", or the "get rich .. one time only free seminar..hurry don't miss out!", etc etc,
Sometimes what we seek, is right under our noses. Sometimes our need to not miss out on the latest and the greatest clouds what is right in front of you. Sometimes what you think you no longer have is actually beside you.
Could it be the shine has worn off? The novelty is gone and what you really are missing is the discipline and commitment to work at something the old fashion way. Thoughtfulness, purpose, investing in something for the long run.
Practice something until it becomes second nature, not just until you lose interest.
This applies to your training , your spouse and children, your career, the people you deal with or chat with everyday.
Every encounter is a moment to practice focus and thoughtfulness and suddenly what you were so eagerly searching for was inside.
