Different people read Energy Riches and People With Passion for different reasons.

* Some are in business and want to do it better.
* Some are looking to work for themselves.
* Some want to be inspired.
* Some want to be motivated.
* Some have all those reasons and more.

What is YOUR reason?

I was glancing through a book on presentation techniques and came across a quote by John Rockefeller:

“Don’t work so hard. Put your feet up on the desk and look for ideas that will help your company make more money.”

(I don’t know what that has to do with presentation skills, but I guess associations can come from anywhere!)

The truth in Rockefeller’s words struck me. We are all usually so busy working that we don’t stop to think about how we could make more money.

Maybe Kickstart is the pause that we need to reflect on things. Maybe this very moment, when you are reading today’s edition is the very moment that a fleeting association will be made in your mind. The very instant that some spark will occur in your thinking that will change your whole life.

How exciting is that thought!

Or maybe today isn’t the day that your associations will be made. Perhaps your time will come tomorrow or the day after. Or maybe it happened yesterday.

My point is that we all need to take a little time out where our whole attention can be given over to NOT giving our whole attention.

Just as when you lose your keys, the only way you can find them is to stop thinking about where you left them, so it is with work. The harder you focus the less efficient you become.

And you know why?

You can’t have an ‘aha! moment’ unless you actually HAVE a moment.

So for just a moment today, take a little time out. Put your feet up on the desk and think bigger thoughts.
