Learning to be present is one of the most underrated skills you can develop in life.
It also happens to be an extremely practical skill when it comes to your success.
Without it ... you will severely limit your potential in life.
Allowing your mind to wander aimlessly and going through the motions produces a poor result.
Being present and putting the proper intent and focus into the task at hand produces a far greater result.
It doesn't matter if you're having a conversation...
Knocking out a task at work...
Pushing yourself in a workout...
Reading a book...
...or really doing anything else.
If you aren't fully immersed in the moment and focused on whatever it is that's directly in front of you...
You are passing up on the opportunity to produce the best possible outcome.
Be present.
Not only will it produce a far better result...
But it will also make the task at hand a lot more fun.
Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
