Jeff 's Daily Excellence Pill

the intensity (just look at her eyes!)

the joy of achievement (ah.... the beautiful smile)

This is another of life's lessons from my 10 year old Hannah (who seems to be wiser than her 10 years!). I brought her for a session of archery the other day and her attitude towards this ancient sport was a timely reminder of how to live our lives.  It's interesting that Hannah's telling us to: 

- Focus Intensely on our targets and goals in life, and then,

- Enjoy the Moment when we hit the target! 

We often forget to enjoy the moment and that's a shame isn't it?  So take a moment now to reflect on all your recent achievements, and enjoy the experience and put a huge smile on your face.  All this means is you shift your attitude and get in a better state to face the day - which is what we need everyday.  Do it now!

Kids know the secret to a great life. In fact most of them probably follow the great Nike tag line of "Just do It". They don't need proof, they don't need evidence, they don't need a written assurance to do something. All they need is to answer one key question, "Is this going to be fun?" and off they go with gusto, enthusiasm, 100% effort. Their reward? They experience sheer pleasure!

What happens to these kids then? They start growing up and society and culture stops their fun and makes them serious boring adults!

The next time you're faced with too many choices that all have large degrees of uncertainty, imagine you were a kid again and when you make your decision, you might find the kid in you showing you the way, so that passion, pleasure and fun is a natural consequence! Learn from kids - they have lots to teach us. Life is short so enjoy every moment of it!
