So what have you done with the time? Have you managed to make some plans and stick to them? Are your plans so big you don't know where to start?

It's quite strange how it still feels like the beginning of the year, however the reality is that we've already had a tenth of it.

Lately I've been really concentrating on doing the things that really matter. You know, those things which when you do them will make all the difference, but also those ones where you find the most distractions to take you away from them.

I've been lucky enough recently to be training with a world class fitness trainer and lately we've been training in some of the gyms in central London. As a result I've made the commitment to the process and sometimes I even travel up to central London during morning rush hour.

This morning was such a morning, and let me just say that I am astounded by people and the lives they lead. Waiting on the platform at Raynes Park station, I could see even at 7:35am that it was an extremely busy day. I seemed to remember 10 years ago when I was commuting daily like this, that it didn't come close to this busy at this early hour.

As I sit here writing this, my mind is flickering between all the things that have happened in the recent past and just wondering how much of all this contributes to my future and ultimately to my contribution to society and my family, not to mention my own personal fulfilment.

I've noticed that in life, everything I do and go for, I do it with extreme drive and I always go for number one, and this lead to me thinking about the significance of aiming high vs. aiming for just ok, or as in the title suggests, the Number 1 vs. Number 2 mentality.
