"Keep your rear end and your mind in the same place." - Gordon Larson
It would be interesting to know how much of our day is spent thinking about things other than the task at hand. In this moment I'm easily concentrating on writing, but what about driving? How much of our mind is devoted to signaling for a left hand turn or checking blind spots, versus what's for dinner or who to pick first in the fantasy football draft?
What about when we're in a conversation? None of us would believably say that we're at full attention the entire time. Our mind will wander. But do we miss entire conversations, or pieces of them? Do we fail to gain valuable wisdom because of missed opportunities to dig deeper? Does our bond with the speaker weaken?
Living in the present moment may transform us into more highly successful people.
