The One Act That Ensures Complete Attention (A Story That Will Make You Think)

The One Act That Ensures Complete Attention A Story That Will Make You Think

If you’re like most people, you probably think that the biggest thing that will keep you from success in 2021 is your lack of time. In other words, you think that your biggest problem is with time management.

Well, you might not believe this, but your problem (and my problem) will actually be with a different type of management.

I’ll reveal more of what I mean about this in an article scheduled for later this week. But before I do that, you need to first hear this story today.

An Ancient Story About Attention

egypt 1290820 1920

There is an ancient story about attention that was once told by a man called “Pliny the Elder,” a Roman writer who lived during the same time period as Jesus. 

He told a story of the setting of a massive obelisk, which when erected would stand 99 feet tall.

It was such a monumental task that 20,000 workers were chosen to pull on the ropes and activate the hoisting apparatus.

There was great responsibility and risk in the operation.

It would just take one error and the obelisk would fall, which would ruin years of work.

The King demanded one act that insured the complete attention and best direction of the engineer.

What was the one act which could ensure this?

He ordered the engineer’s own son to be strapped to the apex of the obelisk so that the engineer’s heart, as well as his head, would be given to the task.

Whether you realize it or not, your ability to bring the absolute focus of your heart and mind to the right things in the new year will impact the well-being of the things and the people you care about.

So let me ask you a question… What would it take to get YOUR absolute focused attention in 2021?

I want you to really think about that because your focused attention will be needed if you want to reach new levels in your life and business this year.

In my upcoming articles, I’m going to reveal how you can harness your absolute focus this year without needing to endanger anyone you love to accomplish this. 🙂
