Your thoughts and feelings may be defined by a growing single-mindedness today, even if you did not intend to focus your attentions on any one task. You may be pleased to discover that you can accomplish much more than usual in the early part of your day, yet dismayed to find that your energy flags measurably as time wears on. If your determination transforms into obsession, the industriousness with which you approached your goals can cause you to neglect your other, equally important concerns. You can avoid just such a contingency today by striving to maintain a balance between those goals that occupy your thoughts and those that are necessary to your wellbeing.

However important an objective is to our long-term wellbeing, it is unlikely that it will supersede all of the many concerns that we are called upon to address each day. Single-mindedness can be an asset in certain situations because it is thereby that we avoid those distractions that might keep us from fulfilling our potentials. Yet when we are wholly focused on a single goal, other areas of our life can suffer as a result. If we are careful to balance our intense desire to achieve the aims that occupy our thoughts with our very real need to devote at least some portion of our time to those endeavors that maintain our wellbeing in the present, we can work steadfastly toward these accomplishments without sacrificing our health or happiness. You will be less likely to dwell obsessively on your objectives today when you are committed to a path of wholeness.
