When something happy happens
in my life,
I now stop everything else
and focus on that moment.
It is rare.
It is precious.
It is likely fleeting.
And it is
what we are all working for.
It is why we build businesses.
We want that happiness
for ourselves
and for loved ones.
So enjoy the happy moments
when they happen.
They make everything else
worth doing.
When I’m writing a second draft,
a process that usually takes
less than two weeks,
I usually disconnect from the world.
I post and run
on social media
and blogs.
I don’t watch TV shows
or movies.
I don’t read books.
I don’t watch the news.
My entire focus
is on that second draft.
And you know what?
The second draft gets written
and nothing dire happens.
(Loved ones would tell me
if something dire DID happen.)
It is okay,
is probably healthy
to disconnect from the world
for a short while.
Try it.
