First Things First

January 28, 2016 by Mark Shepard

First Things First

Hey There, Oh Nation of Trance-Formation!

Today we are exploring the idea of  “FIRST THINGS FIRST”… Yeah baby. That’s right.
It’s the often cited but rarely followed Mind Mastery Concept of…

“Do the thing you want to do the most, …. FIRST.“

First thing everyday, do the thing that means the most to you, that moves your dream forward. 

That done, you can then get all the other “stuff” done that your “supposed” to do.

So today. I took my own advice and I got several of my songs uploaded to
MarkShepard.BandCamp.com

Did it make me money? Nope.

(so far I’ve cleared a staggering .74 cents from a single person downloading one of
my songs for free but voluntarily paying a buck. Thanks Roger!!!)

Did it move one of my biggest projects “A Life In Song” forward a little bit? YUP.

Boom. 

Now I’m ready to get all the other  stuff done that has been hollering for my attention. Like the LAUNDRY…

BREAKFAST… TAKING A SHOWER…

et cetera.

How about YOU?

What do you really want to do today? Can you just imagine, starting your day
with YOU first?

It’s kind of like Tithing to yourself.

You hear a lot of financial “gurus” tell us to:

Pay yourself first!

But working on your big dream is EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY IN THE BANK…

If you wait until all the other stuff is done,  then you might not have the spark, the creativity the ENERGY to actually work on your 
big dream.

So your Mind Mastery Tip Today is…

YOU FIRST.
Your big dream FIRST.
​Then the other stuff.

Ok?

Got it?

Glad we had this little tawk.

Cowabungah baby.

– Mark

P.S. here’s what I’ve done so far this morning…

Tweaked up the 1980’s Life In Song Index Page and uploaded the following songs:

055 A Love Survives The Night

076 On My Way

085 Fire In The Eyes

093 Can You Hear Me?

p.p.s. I’m not expecting you to go there right now and listen (unless you want to) Just trying to walk my tawk so you can see that some stuff takes dogged persistence and the willingness to do stuff for YOU that doesn’t actually pay off immediately but that will someday pave the way for your ultimate success…

got it? Thanks! :o)

p.p.p.s. Now. Love yourself enough to go do what YOU want to do, even if it is only for a few minutes.
