Short Passage of The Week
“FOCUS”
Every moment of our lives is an opportunity to train our minds to focus.
When you are working, lock in.
When you're training, lock in.
When you’re at dinner, lock in.
When you’re listening to the feelings of a loved one, lock in.
When you're meditating, lock in.
We only experience love, beauty, and things that are true in the present moment. If we don’t have the ability to be present and lock in long enough, we miss the important moments in life. The only moment is now, lock in.

If your returns average 5 percent per year after the loss, it can take almost 7 years to get back to even….
