Hi Paiboon. This is my first time reading one of your posts. I enjoy your writing style and your wisdom. I agree that concentration and staying in the moment is key taking action, especially when the action requires a person to stretch outside their comfort zone. By staying present in the moment, it prevents fearing what might happen (the future) or regretting what did happen (the past) and allows focus on the task at hand.

Thanks Paiboon for sharing! You’ve always been wise since the first day I met you, kinda “Yoda-like”. Your posts inspire me.

Awesome post. Yoda was a very cool little alien… I wish we had more of his type on Earth. And you are exactly right- you have to believe in yourself to make something happen. For instance, right now I’m trying to buy some land to build a straw-bale house, but I just can’t get my mind around owning land at the age of 23.

Thanks and keep up the great posts.

Sound advice from Yoda. For me, try is a problem, I have been trying to diet and trying to get into an exercise routine and trying to get in better shape and trying this and trying that.

The problem is that for all my “trying”, I am not really doing. So, after reading your post, I have decided to “do”. To make me accountable to me. I started by joining SparkPeople.com to track my journey towards doing rather than trying.
