It seems that most things come down to time management and mental focus in the right places in getting things done as quickly as possible.

Sure, if we lived lifetimes like a vampire, we could conceievably learn to master the piano, art, scultping, writing, etc. etc. But the problem is that we don't have that kind of time and all of us have exactly the same hours in the day.

But, if you team up time management and precise mental focus as allies, you can get an extraordinary amount done within the time you've been given here on earth.

There's a great movie you can rent called "Jumper". It'll give you a great feeling of the need to compress time and mental focus to reach your destination.

It's a great sci-fi flick about the tale of an underground world of teleporters. It's director is Doug Liman who also did the blockbuster action hit, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Jumper is about a young man who has the ability to instantly teleport himself to another place in the world with the power of his mind. As he learns what his mental powers are capable of, his adventures multiply allowing him to raid bank vaults, seduce girls in London, have lunch on the pyramids, and surf in Fiji within seconds of visualzing his destination.

He soon discovers though that he is not the only one bestowed with this unique gift and that there are others who feel threatened by his unique powers and have made it their mission in life to eliminate him and others like him.

Samuel Jackson plays the part of the shadowy figure who tries to eleminate the Jumper in some really thrilling action sequences. Jumper, our hero, is beaten to a pulp several times trying to escape using his powers. But, sometimes he's just not quick enough to transport himself to a safer location.

So, herein lies today's tip. I see so many people with great ideas on mental focus and peak performance. Yet, those very people quite often can't apply it to the playing field in real life. In theory, everything sounds great. But in action, there are reasons why they fail.

You don't have a lot of time to set up a basketball shot. You don't have forever to set your mind before the pitcher throws the ball. You have barely fractions of a second to respond to an incoming soccer ball and to kick it with the right trajectory past the goalie.

In real live action sports, you don't have a lot of time to set your mind - to calmly gather your focus and thoughts. And, even more so, time is moving. Action is moving, haphazzard, and unpredictable. It's NOT waiting for you to gather your wits, mental focus, with deep breathing.

So many I see with great theories on mental focus and peak performance fail on the "battlefield" of sports performance because their mental focus is slow to actually focus. Practicing quick mental focus that encapsulates every megabite of informantion necessary for a successful "jump" is extremely important - hence time mamagement - lightning fast time management in fact on focusing.

Being able to gain and regain superior mental focus time and again is one of the paramount attributes of successful people in all endeavors. In real life, we don't always have time to take in long deep breaths to get ourselves "centered" to feel the "power of the universe" or whatever.

The world and our universe is way too busy whirring at molecule speeds to stop and wait for us to try and catch up with some slow diaphramatic breathing and mental pictures that are hazey and slow to materialize. Those practices certainly have there place. Don't get me wrong.

But being able to change your mental focus on the spot to something more precise or adapting quickly to everchanging circumstances is paramount to practice just as well.

Quite often when I tell people I can quite often double their current muscular strength in one day, they look at me as if I were from outer space.

I don't know whether they think it's completely impossible; whether they think I'm completely bonkers; or both.

As a young boy, the first moment I read that scientists said that we use, at best only 5% of our real strengths, talents, and intellectual capacity, my eyes lit up as if I had just found the Treasure of the Lost Arc.

With my eyes wide with enthusiasm as such a prospect, my first question was if they were saying this, then where could I find the answers to discover and use it?!

Of course, I wanted it NOW, if what scientists were saying was really true -  it could be done.

So, when people ask me about CoreForce Energy and I tell them what it can do, and see hardly any reaction - not even a flicker of light behind their eyes, I just wonder what kind of activity is going on in their brains - if any at all.

As a kid, the thought of knowing ways to unlock super creativity, strength, talent, mental focus, peak performance etc. just seemed like it would unlock the beginnings of whole new worlds. As a boy, it  seemed like if you could learn secrets to access the powers of the brain scientists said we don't use - I'd have powers like the Great Houdini.

Then it occurred to me --  the scientist who were saying that we were only using 5% of our capacity weren't talking about  just ordinary people. They were talking about the best of the best - the likes of Houdini, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods of the world.

So, if it was true that the best of the best were only using 5%, then why was I wasting even a precious second not trying to access all my resources to discover the secrets that would allow me to start breaking past that 5% myself?!

This awakened a quest that I think everyone should be on in one way or another.

Here's some strength lessons from some of America's greatest leaders...

In thinking of the great history and beginnings of America's independence, I spent some inspiring time in front of our big screen tv watching the History Channel - one of my favorite things to do.

Once again it's good to remind ourselves that victory isn't always achieved with overwhelming force. Victory often comes from hard work and persistence in believing that seemingly little things will make all the difference. In the end, when you're a history buff, you realize that most victories were the result of many small things whose compound interest, so to speak, created the synergy to create strength, victory and success.

What blows me away is to think of what a rag tag undisciplined army George Washington had to work with. Without his fateful decisions to turn them into a organized and highly motivated and disciplined fighting machine, there would have been little likelihood of victories and little likelihood of our American Independence.

Although his troops were a tough and hardy bunch, their lack of discipline to work as one unit would be their and our nation's doom unless he did something drastic. That is indeed what he did. Our Continental army was hemorrhaging badly from heavy loses, desertions, sickness, and many other detrimental essentials.

George Washington personally designed Valley Forge from the placements of barracks to roads to battlements, etc. One of his first appointments was to discipline his soldiers to the point of fanaticism to make certain their hygiene habits wouldn't spread sickness. Then, a Prussian officer was brought to his attention who brought to it changes that transformed Washington's entire fighting force into a single minded highly disciplined machine. The very one that without it, victory would have been lost - Independence would have been a figment of our imagination.

 

Baron Von Steuben systematically trained the amateur American troops relentlessly getting them into battle-readiness throughout the harshest winter months. He did this in spite of the fact he spoke no English and in spite of the rag tag bunch of troops he had to work with - complete amateurs in battlefield experience working as one unit.
