"Good, like truth, is same yesterday, today, and forever.

In addition to doing a good deed, junk something every day. Junk your fears, junk your worries, junk your anxieties, junk your little jealousies, envies and hatred. Whatever interferes with your getting up and getting on in world - junk it!

Every night before you go to sleep, put upon junk heap all your disappointments, all your grudges, your revengeful feelings, your malice. Junk everything that is hindering you from becoming a big, strong, vibrant character.

The trouble with most of us is that we have no junk heap of this sort. We pull all our mental enemies, all our handicaps, our discouragements, our losses, our troubles and worries and trials along with us every day. That consumes more than 50 percent of our vitality and energy, so that we have only smaller amount left for great task of making our lives a success."

BUILDING UP or TEARING DOWN

When you think about times you achieved full concentration on any type of job, you will remember that work was easier, you were surprised at how much you accomplished, and quality of work was high. The problem is how to achieve this level of concentration, and how to reach it on a regular basis. Here's some ideas you can use to more fully develop this trait.

1. The first is obvious - practice concentrating. The more it becomes a habit, less brain activity is necessary. Being able to focus becomes less difficult. Also, you will find that as you practice in different areas of your life, skills transfer from one task to another more easily.

2. Make a dull job more interesting by inventing challenges for yourself. Setting time or quality goals takes out some of drudgery. Consider rewarding yourself when you're done with it. Make it first thing you do just to get it over with rather than dreading it all day.

3. If you think about how you would provide instruction to someone who had not done task before you may just discover some interesting details in job. Or, you might find time wasting elements you've inserted because you weren't paying enough attention to it. Even if it's something you don't like doing, realize that you are good at it and appreciate your abilities.
