Good work you can do

What to do when the pressure is on? Focus on the work, not the pressure.

Your thoughts go in the direction you aim them. Practice aiming them away from matters you can’t do anything about.

Make all the bandwidth of your awareness available for productive effort. Start by choosing to do so, put it immediately into practice in a small way, then expand on it from there.

Let the noise and confusion bear down upon you. And rather than fighting it or getting dismayed about it, target your awareness tightly on the good work you can do.

The world is as it is, and time moves relentlessly forward. You can be equally relentless in making use of it.

Decide what you will get done and put all of yourself into doing it. Rise above whatever else may be going on, and follow your intentions toward the success you know you can create.

— Ralph Marston
