Do It Today: Overcome Procrastination, Improve Productivity, and Achieve More Meaningful Things

This Ancient Habit Will Maximize
Your Focus
Ever since I was little, I worried about many things. My
favorite topics were money, health, and my future. What’s
your favorite topic to worry about? And don’t tell me you
never worry or fear nothing. Because if you have zero fear,
that means you’re a robot! Everyone spends time thinking
about things that will never happen. Because that’s what
fear is. Michel de Montaigne, the 16th-century philosopher,
said it best:
“My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which
never happened.”
We all know that fear is meant to save us from trouble. But
in the modern world, that’s simply not true anymore. These
days, fear is only something that occupies your mind.
Our thoughts are so cluttered with fear, worry, and stress,
that we can’t focus on our goals. In my personal experience,
living a full life has nothing to do with the resources or
opportunities you have.
It’s about knowing what you want, and also knowing how
you can get it. That’s why you need to be focused every
day. Without work, no goal will ever be achieved. That’s why
I want to share one ancient habit that stood the test of time.
This habit has proved itself over and over again.
The Power Of Having A Mantra
I’m not a spiritual person. I believe in coincidence and luck. I
also don’t believe in some kind of spiritual energy that we
can’t see.

I’m a pretty skeptical person. 
But I’m also a pragmatist.
 I
believe in what works. That’s why I never challenge religion
or spirituality because it works for millions of people.
In fact, I 
study
religion, cultures, and different beliefs that
people have. And one thing that I’ve learned from religion is
how useful a Mantra is.
Most of us have heard about it, but few of us have one or,
let alone, actively practice it. What is a Mantra, anyway? A
good definition I found 
online
 is this:
“A “mantra” is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a
syllable, word or phonemes, or group of words in Sanskrit
believed by practitioners to have psychological and spiritual
powers.”
Mantras exist (in some shape or form) for centuries. You can
find them in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity.
I’ve learned that people from all over the world use a
Mantra to overcome fear and improve their focus. It doesn’t
matter who came up with it first. What matters is that it
works.
