Focus is a very big key to your success in every area of your life. What your mind is concentrating on draws your feelings to follow.
Have you noticed that of all of the topics I have written about since launching this blog at the beginning of February 2010 there is one theme that seems to dominate them all.
(Look at the list of topics here and you will see).
Yes, that dominant topic is “focus”, and no wonder! It is a VERY big key to your success, your well being and in fact to every area of your life.
Tonight I was watching a series of videos from Tony Robbins (which I found on YouTube). What was he talking about? Yes – it was focus.
Tony said: “What you focus on you feel” –
and then he went on to say: “focus = feelings”
and “where focus goes, energy flows”.
Do you see why your focus is so so important?
You and I can change our feelings by changing our FOCUS.
The dictionary definition of this important word is “the concentration of attention or energy on something”. There is another key word here – concentration.
What your mind is concentrating on draws your feelings to follow, AND your feelings draws the object of your concentration towards you.
Wow that is powerful (and of course as with all things that are powerful, this can be used for good or for evil).
This very key can make or break your life – you choose.
A Powerful Example:
There is a very clear and powerful example of this key demonstrated in the life of the Teacher of teachers – yes Jesus Christ Himself. It is found in the book of Hebrews (in the New Testament of the Bible) in chapter 12 and verse 2.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
How did Jesus endure the cross?
For the joy that was set before Him.
But it was not JUST what was set before Him that gave Him the strength.
If you really look into this verse you can see where his CONCENTRATION was.
He was NOT looking at the cross. His focus was on everything beyond the cross. His eyes were fixed on the joy of the victory of the resurrection and what that triumph would mean to His Father AND to you and me.
What are you focusing on today?
Is that what you REALLY want in your life?
