Do You Have These 6 'Mindful' Skills? Or Are You Distracted?

• Mindfulness: the awareness of context and of changes within that context.
• Discernment: the ability to recognize and anticipate the consequences of the patterns around you.
• Action: Having a bias for action and immediate implementation is how rapid learning occurs.
• Expectancy: The belief in your ability to seize or create a future outcome.
• Feedback: You shouldn’t and can’t avoid feedback if you want to learn. 
• Adaptability: If you want to adjust to new norms, you’ll have to adapt to them.

3 things must occur for a person to have high motivation for achieving their goals: 

• You must believe you can do what it takes to achieve your goal. 
• You must believe that you know how to achieve it (you have the proper methods). 
• You must believe that the rewards of a particular goal are personally meaningful.
