Just before reading today’s post kindly click to watch this video of invitation for a minute.
Focus does three things for you:
1) It keeps you on target. We find ourselves pulled in a dozen different
directions, spending much of our time and energy on things we don’t really care
about. Author Don Marquis put it this way: ‘ours is a world where people don’t
know what they want, and are willing to go through hell to get it.’ The Bible
says: ‘Let your eyes look straight ahead...Do not swerve to the right or left’
(proverbs 4:25-27 NIV).
2) It increases your energy. Attempting everything is like attempting nothing, will suck the
life out of you. Focus gives you energy. Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar
explorer said; “few men come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling
within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used”. One of the
reasons those wells go untapped is lack of focus. The mind doesn’t reach achievement
until it has clear objectives.
3) It lifts you. It’s been said that ‘the world stands aside to let
anyone pass, who knows where he or she is going. ‘In a sea of mediocrity, just
knowing what you want to do and making an effort to pursue it, distinguishes
you from almost everybody else. Henry David Thoreau asked; ‘Do you ever hear of
a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object, and
in no measure obtained it? If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated?’
Just by striving to become better than you are, you become elevated even if you
don’t accomplish what you desire, and even if others don’t step aside for you.
by trusting God and aiming higher, you move to a higher level.
Cheers!
