For example, right now you’re probably not focusing on your heart beat, or the many sounds in the room that you’re in, or perhaps certain pain your body may be in (just recently had my wisdom teeth removed ;).  There are literally THOUSANDS of things you can focus on right now, besides reading this article on your computer (different objects in your environment, feelings, sounds, etc…).

I thought about how lucky I am to be experiencing this beautiful sight — how lucky I am to be living in Kitsilano, with 7 other positive, motivated individuals as my “mastermind group”, known as Project Vancouver. I thought about how lucky I am to be doing what I passionately enjoy doing, which is influencing people’s lives for the better and making a REAL contribution to the world. I thought about all of the amazing friends that I have. The people that I’ve met in my journey…
