Time Out

On the path to your most significant goals and ambitions, how comfortable are you simply doing nothing from time-to-time?

In today’s wired world and global economy it has become quite easy to keep busy 24/7 year-round. But working hard non-stop without time for rest, reflection and renewal sometimes leads to frustration, disappointment and injury. Working hard non-stop also limits your prospects for meeting new people or attracting significant new experiences or opportunities.

As June draws toward an end and we approach the mid-point of 2007, this is an outstanding time to pause and do absolutely nothing for at least one day.

Even the greatest champions take strategic time-outs to catch their breath and reaffirm or adjust their game plan. In the weeks ahead, be sure to take time for a well-deserved time-out!

If you do take this time out, I guarantee something quite wonderful and unexpected is likely to show up.
