The Power of Three (Focus to Attain Your Goals)

“… life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness …” “… faith, hope and charity…” … of the people, by the people and for the people …”
Research shows that the human mind can only focus on three things at a time. Too many of us are overwhelmed by too many things going on in our lives. We can’t focus; we are buried by the tyranny of the urgent.
Set your BIG goal, then set only three “on the way there” goals that take you toward your big goal. There are probably more than three, but just pick three to work on at a time. Prioritize them both in importance and in chronology. What really must happen first - before you move on to step #2? Won’t you feel better having achieved three rather than failing to achieve any of seven?
