Overchoice strikes again!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 25, 2009 -- Overchoice strikes again!

People seem TIRED, BEAT UP, AND EXHAUSTED, but it’s not the things we’re doing that is wearing us out. It’s the things we’re not doing.

It’s thinking about the things we “should’ve” done that is slowing us down.

Whether we’re window shopping, channel surfing, or just browsing the World Wide Web, we’re constantly faced with an overflow of options. Overchoice strikes again!

This is not only keeping us average, it’s making us tired. We trick ourselves into thinking we can “find time” or “make time” for all the things we’d like to do, yet time can neither be made nor found.

We cannot manage time, we can only manage ourselves.

Too little time is spent thinking about what we really want.

For example, every day seems to get started in the same way – a big rush. We wake up, we DO what we have to, and we retire thinking about what we “should” have done.

This is robotic in its purest form.

One of my business partners would always use the example of flying ping-pong balls. He would stand a few feet away from me and toss me one ping-pong ball. I catch it easily – but when he tosses the rest of the balls together, I come up empty handed.

I automatically try to catch ALL the ping-pong balls and end up with none. The unique person who can actually hold on to a ball is the person who focuses on only one ball from the group and ignores the others.

Would you like to quit feeling rushed and pressured? Quit channel surfing. Ignore all the choices you are not making, just like you ignore the ping-pong balls you do not wish to catch. And your reward will be a nice brand new ping-pong ball that belongs solely to you.

“When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell
