I want you to just visualise yourself getting shopping out of car booth. You've got a lot, it's a little heavy and no help at all. You see a young boy striding down road and he comes up to you. His warmth overwhelms you and next thing you know is that he's helping you take your shopping out of car! How does it make you feel? Bring those feelings forward?

What a pleasant feeling it is to have somebody be so kind and helpful? Relive those moments. What can you hear? What can you smell? What do you feel? Just imagine if you did something like that for someone else? They would feel amazing, or even more, you'd feel great!

His motto is "undertake a random act of kindness for a stranger!" Now this newsletter goes out to over 1200 people so imagine number of acts! Find out how and what you can do below...

Everywhere we see speed of life increasing, almost daily it seems.

The age of instant gratification has done a number on our schedules. It started with business people wanting to provide better service by being more available for customer requests. Longer hours, faxes, pagers, cell phones, mobile computers, and more have become commonplace in push to be better than next guy.

Of course, everyone feels effects of this, as family members are no longer as available to our families as they are to their jobs. Now virtually everyone carries a cell phone in order to maintain contact with important people in their lives. One more thing that has to be taken care of right now.

And then there are expectations we have about our place within society. It looks like everyone else is succeeding except us. We have to keep up, buy new toys, wear 'better' clothes, drive a 'hot' car, and so on. We just wouldn't feel right not being a part of 'in crowd'. Take out a loan if you don't have cash. Put it on plastic and work harder.

But look at where that is taking us. Spending more money just creates need to work longer hours. Which in turn creates feeling of being more stressed and less capable of handling tasks that are before us.

There comes a time when you just have to realize that you can't do everything you want to do. There just isn't enough time to do all of it, so you have to choose. What do you let go of to make room in your day for rest?

Do you really have to give up something? Couldn't you just figure out a way to work 'smarter'?

Working smarter is great, but is based on one basic idea. You don't have to do everything. You only have to do more important tasks and let rest go. It's old 80-20 rule. 80% of results you want can be obtained with only 20% of effort. And last 20% of results you want will take 80% of effort.
