Focused forces.

“It is a process of diverting one’s scattered forces into one powerful channel.”–James Allen

Rivers gain their energy by gathering the energy on many small streams. We live in an age of “multitasking”—of doing many things much more poorly than we think we are doing them. Whatever our goals—be they financial, fitness, relational, etc.—we must concentrate and prioritize our energies to the accomplishment of these goals. “Opportunity costs.” That which is not specific to our outcome diverts us from our success.

It is also essential to prioritize our goals. Wealth, power, and six-pack abs are useless if gaining these destroys relationships and steals one’s integrity. Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social “success” are only of value when they serve to elevate the others—and, moreover, when they serve to elevate others. “Well-centered fitness” begins with the Spiritual/Physical foundation (connection) and builds to the pinnacle or Social wellness, but there is no Spiritual/Physical without the Social. In other words, there is no “powerful channel” without a process for elevating the success of others.

Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
