Staying on point even when.

Some days it hard to stay focused...

The last two days have not been good days, today especially has not been a good day. My wife came up sick yesterday, really, really sick. That means that I am on caregiver duty. Today I started coming down with something also, (We've always been a very sharing couple ;-) ) So, needless to say, I have not been able to devote as much time as I normally do to working on my Wealthy Affiliates program of learning and website development.

One excuse really is as good as another...

Something I have learned working with people for the past 50 years is that, if you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another. I really doesn't matter what you say, or what excuse you make if the bottom line is that you really don't want to do something.

To be honest, today I would have really loved to sit on the sofa and watch movies with my wife. Did I do that? No, I was a care giver, cooking, washing dishes, etc., and in between that I would squeeze in a little time (from time to time), to work on what was really important to me.

You have to stay on point...

I read of a man who trained bird hunting dogs. The dogs would find a bird in the grass or in some bushes and "Stand at point".. until the birds were flushed. The man was really proud on one dog in particular. It seems that no matter what happened around the dog, once he went to point, nothing could move him until the birds were flushed. You could yell, try giving some command that conflicted with the point, but the dog would not be moved. The dog knew its job and was committed to doing it... no mater what!

It's all about priorities...

It's all about priorities isn't it! I'll tell you right now, that my wife is my number one priority and she has been since the day we met. She understands though the importance of me working on learning as much as I can through the training provided through Wealthy Affiliates. Yes, I have been neglecting her of late, spending lots of hours on the computer, but she has been so understand. She also understands that our future and reaching our goals, is somewhat dependent upon how much I learn and much time I am willing to commit to my studies.

Now I am not writing this to get a "poor baby" from anyone. I want you to understand that no matter what interruptions life throws at us we still must focus on what is really important if we are to reach our goals. We really do have to "stay on point" no matter what happens...
