Look back at your life and check: in the process of getting where you are today what have you neglected, and what have you been nurturing?
Right now, check where you are in life:
– What are you neglecting that would propel you towards success, to the best person you could be?
– Are you paying enough attention, any attention or no attention to what’s truly important to you?
And why are you neglecting it? The answer, of course, varies…
When tasks become urgent or when life gets out of balance, it’s all too easy for us to instantly neglect everything else.
Sometimes, we wake up with the best of intentions but inexcusably get caught up doing this, that and the other and lose focus on what really requires our direct attention. I hate to say it but ‘busyness’ is just another form of distraction. Most often, we’re neglecting what’s important because we’re wasting our time in unnecessary things.
Neglect is not a new thing! Really and truly, neglect doesn’t happen overnight. It usually starts with small things and gradually expands into several other areas. It can occur, whilst at work, home, anywhere.
Negligence at work = mistakes, accidents and losses happen.
Neglect of the self = physical, mental and emotional well-being are affected over time.
So who loses out? Me, that’s who! The habit of neglect stops us from achieving our potential and from achieving our goals.
Neglect = Reject! So, stop neglecting. Put an end to this habit. Start nurturing. Nurture what’s important. It’s that straightforward. Nurture your well-being. Nurture your goals and dreams. Nurture your relationships.
What’s the one thing that you know would make a difference – which you’re neglecting? Now, recognise the value of what needs to be done and put what you’re neglecting into your list of priorities. Invest time and attention to incorporate it into your life.
