Dear @BabsBoard and @Ramta
Today I'm traveling to Rauland close to Rukan. A beautiful place in Norway, don't know if you have ever been there? I have been there once. A lovely place to visit. What I will I be doing in Rauland? Well this is a 8 days retreat to take care of body and mind.
I have noticed that you lately have been taking about getting caught i traps. And I must admit I have let my self been caught in several traps, many of them have been speed traps, and traps of unfinished works, aka not finished circles. You thought me a life time lesson when you explained about this circles for me. I have been living my life on high speed, always juggling between different projects and a lot of things to do. "A 1000 thoughts at the same time" I know that it is only possible to have one thought at the time, but skipping from on to the other without finishing anything completely. This have made my life much harder then i had ever expected or realized. I have i beautiful wife, that i have been married to for over 15 years and she has always try to explain to me that my way of doing things needs to be changed for her to be more relaxed. I never understood what this was all about and did continue with my way f thinking and living.
The last 5 years I have been reading a lot f self- development books about how to do better in life, but i actually have missed out on this point. I have learned a lot and improved my life quality and understanding from this books, but this small lesson you had with me gave me an understanding with extreme high value. So many thanks to you for this lesson. For those of you that wonders what this is all about you can read my earlier posts about this here click here I have also done some follow ups that you can see on my profile.
After learning this my life has changed a lot to the better. I have also understood that what i thought was excellent to do, juggling a lot of things to do at the same time, is not smart and effective, rather the opposite. You loos you mane focus and don't get your full attention on what you are doing. I did some thinking about this, ow to explain it with other words, and the best explanation i found that is easy to understand is; When you sit down to eat a better meal, while watching the Tv, scrolling your phone or you laptop. This will give you a nice meal but you will loos something with out been aware of it, well i at least do. I loos the attention to my food, I eat but don't taste the food, don't experience the different flavors, don't get my attention to one thin, the food experience. My attention is all over the place, not with the experience of me enjoying my food experience. This might sound strange, but if you don't believe me you should try it. Sit down have a great meal and your only focus should be on this, not drifting round in your head or doing other things at the same time. Another word for this is Mindfulness
So again thank you for teaching me a way to understand how to change my life to the better.
I want to share a video with you, that gives me a lot of feelings. This is to show that small acts from ordinary people can change your day.
Speed traps. For me this is when
my mind is set up to finish the job, not on the result or how to to it as best as possible to avoid making mistakes or with not good enough quality.
You can also look at how I started using Steemit. Without understanding how this is going to work, I headed out in full speed. Searching followers, upvoting everything and posting one-liner comments. What did this give me? A lot of followers that don't give me any upvotes. A lot of feed news that is not in my interest, and a lot of commenting without getting anything back. Not a reply or a upvote.
So I had to learn, and by learning from one of the best. My account has grown, my comments are better and I'm having a lot of success in my life and at Stemmit.
So my advice to you all is listen and pay attention to your life, how you play your role, listen when someone that knows they game gives you advices (like @Ramta and @Babsboard are doing a lot of)
It is allowed and expected to make mistakes. But try to not look at it as mistakes, just a way to learn how to do things better. Always look a head and have focus on what you are doing right now.

Hi @Everydaycoach !
We have all experienced this feeling of spending a lot of time working on something without really having concrete results.
For me, it was a real frustration. Having to spend a lot of time on something and having the impression of not making any progress.
I always wondered why I had this feeling. Still, it was not complicated. The problem was simply that I did not know how to focus on one thing at a time.
Most of the time, what really stops us from concentrating is ourselves. Lack of discipline and organization are the most common causes of lack of concentration.
I thank you for your interesting words, I will try to see your posts on which you speak about the solutions you have learned to improve your life.
I saw the video is very touching and it's true sometimes a simple gesture of volentee to mobilize everyone and change a lot of things.

Hi @everydaycoach,
What I have learned from your comment is that the most important secret to success is to begin to change without hesitation as there is no doubt that we face in life many people who are afraid of taking direct steps to achieve benefit or prevent harm or improve the level. Here we say that we stand on the threshold of what the society agreed to call the initiative.
To rush to do something for the purpose of change, this thing may be an idea or work or anything else useful for the purpose of change.
The initiative is aimed at change, whether this change is small or large, limited or broad, in any useful area, the initiator of a particular initiative, he noticed a lack or wanted to develop something or risk doing something new to change something in the field.
In my opinion, for exemple, in order to be a good entrepreneur, you must have the qualities of the real entrepreneur, including the desire to work, self-confidence, determination, challenge, desire to succeed, acceptance of competition, etc.
Overall, as Lao Tsu said, "The one thousand mile journey begins with one step" and this step can be called "initiative".
