  “Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.” -Jim Rohn
  We all get busy. We have responsibilities to meet. We have coworkers and others expecting things from us. We have ambitions and goals, things we want to improve in ourselves and our lives.

  My mother gets out of work every day between 6:00 and 7:00, which is between 3:00 and 4:00 my time. She often calls me on her way home to catch up something I value since she lives so far away. And yet there have been times when I’ve engaged in conversation with her while answering emails and Skype chatting on my computer.
  Today if you find yourself only half-listening or half-focusing, remember: Your attention is your most valuable gift, for other people and yourself.
