Focus, discipline, concentration and the results of never settling | Kara Lawson | TEDxSpringfield

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. If you do the same things you've always done, you're going to get the same results. Sometimes you have to take a step back and ask yourself “which aspect of my life can I improve and how quickly can I get there?"
