You may feel like approaching your work in a disciplined manner today, which may mean that you are paying more careful attention to your responsibilities. This focus could be the result of your need for a sense of completion and accomplishment. Perhaps today you might want to use this attention to think about what is most important for you in your life. As you go about your working day, you can take a few minutes to consider what you are working for. Reflect upon the areas in your life where your discipline could be utilized the best and try to set an intention to concentrate on this aspect of your life, be it work, family, or spiritual practice. You might notice that the smaller things in life do not require so much attention and that this brings your focus to things that have greater significance for you.

Thinking about what is the most important thing in our lives allows us to focus on the matters that will contribute to our personal growth. We can easily get wrapped up in the details of our lives and lose sight of the bigger picture. But assessing our priorities helps us bring our awareness to the things that foster our development. This is particularly important to do during times when we feel we need to accomplish our tasks, since we can use our discipline to bring our consciousness to greater heights. By understanding what brings meaning to your life today, you will use your focus to expand your awareness.
