Have You Lost Your Focus?

 Find the man in the coffee beans

We all know how important it is to focus on what we want.

But what happens when we LOSE focus?

It's easy to do, isn't it?

We get distracted.

Something captures our interest and diverts our attention away from our chosen objective.

We suffer setbacks. Things don't work out as planned. Someone lets us down.

Circumstances change and good plans go bad.

We get interrupted. An important matter takes precedence--sometimes for long periods of time. We, or members of our team, get sick or hurt.

We don't have the energy we had before and often find it slow to get back in the game.

These things happen to everyone. And we have to be careful we don't think we're being singled out. The "Why is this happening to me?" question gets us nowhere.

We must first recognize that we've lost focus.

And at the earliest opportunity, we must recommit.

We have to get back on the horse we fell off from and ride again.

And this is what separates the winners from the losers.

The loser says it's too hard. He says it's not worth the effort.

He thinks it's just "not in the cards" and he quits.

But the winner doesn't take the setback personally.

She dusts herself off and recommits to the plan.

She sees the setback as just that--a setback--not a sign that it's not to be.

What do YOU need to refocus upon?

Is it a positive habit? A goal? A toleration you said you'd eliminate?

Revisit your reasons why.

Focus on the results you will produce andnot on what's not worked well.

Because what you focus on expands.

Today's a new day.

The past is just as historic as if it had happened a thousand years ago.

You can't change what's happened or not happened.

But you CAN recommit.

You CAN refocus.

You can start anew.

So do it today.

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...

Why Jaywalking?

Why is crossing the street in the wrong place called "jaywalking"? Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6 In the early 1900s, the word "jay" was slang in the U.S. for a hick, rube, or simpleton -- in other words, a person inexperienced in the ways of the bright lights in the big city. Wordsmiths believe the term "jaywalking" (or "J-walking") originated when cars were relatively new but gaining popularity in cities like Boston and New York. A jaywalker was a newcomer to the city, green to the ways of those modern traffic signals that told folks when they could safely cross the road. The complete Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the word to early 20th-century Boston, where sophisticated city folk with little tolerance for rural folk coined the term. In those days, jaywalkers would have encountered Model T's tooling along at the break-neck speed of 20 mph. Today's urban lawbreakers face greater risks, with sports cars, SUVs, ...
