Our human journey is not a sprint or a marathon but actually a series of sprints run over the course of a lifetime. Constant and Never-ending Improvement (CANI) is our helper along the way. By applying this principle in the key areas of Mind, Body, Spirit, and Shadow we synergistically set ourselves up for big results along an extended time arc. Set up personal benchmarks to measure your progress against. Every time you reach a milestone, take time to celebrate your progress on this path—and that feeling will help keep you moving forward when things get tough again. Commit yourself with stickativity to stay with your goals. Keep taking proactive steps to create the changes you want to see in your life. Improvement becomes a lifestyle when you apply CANI to many facets of your life.

Mindfulness is the key to perceiving our lives through a new lens. By focusing on the present moment with an open and non-judgmental mindset, we can improve our concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity.
