Do you want to know a secret of top
performers?
They live completely in the present.
Take a home run hitter...
He's not thinking about his last strike out... or what it will mean for the team if he hits it out of the park. He's thinking about putting the bat on the ball now.
Same thing for a star
singer...
She's not fretting about the note she just missed or the applause after the show. She's thinking about nailing the verse she's singing right now.
This is the approach of all top performers.
... They don't live in the past. Or the future. They live in the now.
And
it's an approach any of us who want to faithfully fulfill our own callings should take as well.
So much time is spent regretting the past and worrying about the future... when the truth is all we can do anything about is what God has put in front of us in the present moment.
So let's put our focus there... trusting Him and leaving the rest to His
grace.
And who knows? As we do, we might find our performance improving.
