Hear the ThoughtCast The Thursday Thesis - 29/09/2016
“It’s what You’re NOT doing that matters...” Are you too busy making a living to think about building a Life? I know I was. Years ago I was so busy holding down a job (an acronym for Just Over Broke, according to Brian Tracy), running a business, and teaching guitar that actually having a life sort-of got pushed to one side. Like so many other people, I was so busy earning the money to pay for the things I wanted to do, that I didn’t have time to do the things I wanted to do. How stupid is that? I forgot that the purpose of my life is to have fun and be happy in what I do. That was, and is, my Main Thing. And, as Zig Ziglar put it, “The Main Thing is to keep The Main Thing the Main Thing”. So, what’s your Main Thing, and what isn’t your Main Thing? What is it that you are doing, right now, that isn’t your Main Thing but still soaks-up your time and resources? Because that’s what stands between you and your Main Thing. And since the things which matter more must never be at the mercy of the things which matter less, then today would be a good day to figure out what matters less, to you. Once you identify that, the only sane course of action is to stop doing it. The only choices left to make are how you stop doing it, and how soon. That’s The Main Thing. © Neil Cowmeadow 2016 Please Like and Share The Thursday Thesis with your friends, family, and anyone else.

I am a single mother and I know how hard it is to get a life and to provide for your family. I'm concerned on the well-being of my kids and I have to make sure that I provide everything that they need. Because of that, I often forget about myself. For me, that's okay because I do all these for my family and that means a lot to me. But reading your article made me realize that in order for me to be functional for my family, I also have to take care of myself. I will do my best to change my perspective. Thank you and more power to your blog.
