Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Remember that this moment is not your life, it’s just a moment in your life. Focus on what is in front of you, right now. Ignore what it “represents” or it “means” or “why it happened to you.

The thing that's important for me is to remember what's the most important thing.

Let us not overlook vital things, because of the bulk of trifles confronting us.

The challenge is to focus on the work, not on the fear that comes from doing the work.

When faced with so many tasks and obligations that you can’t figure out which to tackle first, stop. Take a deep breath. Get present in the moment and ask yourself what is most important this very second – not what’s most important tomorrow or even an hour from now.

Keep your mind off the things you don't want by keeping it on the things you do want.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Think continally about what you want, not about the things you fear.

Concentrate on what will produce results rather than on the results, the process rather than the prize.

I can stop wasting the dwindling minutes of the only life I'll ever have obsessing over past events I can't do anything about, and future events that might never happen. I can teach myself to focus on the only time that matters, which is <i>this moment right now,</i> and use this precious time to appreciate, to <i>cherish,</i> the people I love.

The Muslim is inclined to believe that man has something more important to do than engage in a wrestling match with temptation, which he sees as a distraction from his principle business, the constant awareness of God.
