Do only the things that FEEL good. You have a built in meter to tell you if you are on the right path or not. Many of us have gotten out of touch with our own feelings about our goals and missions.
making sacrifices for long term goals should feel good if it's a true YOU goal and not an ego or pleasing others goal.

"The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear." Brian Tracy
This quote made me stop and think, and I'm not sure if I agree or not. If I have to do something I fear (and somethimes I do *cough* paperwork *cough*), which calls for focus and lot of effort, then how does this traslate? I guess I can focus on the outcome of the fear/anxiety inducing task(s) but that does not change the fact that I have to deal with and focus at the tasks. Hmmm... But if I put that aside, then I whole heartedly agree with the message: lets not let our fears run our lifes, lets focus on the positive!

"That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me." ~ Michael J. Fox

“It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” Anthony Robbins
