Focus, Focus, Focus

In photography you spend a lot of time making sure your shot is in focus. If the picture is fuzzy, we delete or discard it as "not good". However, sometimes the fuzzy pictures make for an artistic statement. I think the same is true in life: the majority of the time we want what we are doing to be in focus though we leave room for fuzziness.

The fuzzies can allow us to think outside the box, get out of the norm, consider other possibilities. We need to realize that this is a brainstorming session that we can draw from. Once we have those ideas out in front of us it is then time to grab hold of one or more of them and pursue. Pursue with a vengeance with as clear of a focus as we can muster. The clearer our focus of the goal, the more likely we are to attain it.

At the 4 Dynamic Women March event, we all talked about being goal focused. Vitalia took that a step further and instead of using the statement, "I would like to attain that goal." She said to change that statement to, "I will attain that goal." You see, "would like to" leaves room for fuzziness where as "I will" draws back the arrow and has it aimed directly at the target. The more committed you are to your goals, the more goals you will attain.
