Focus

focus

Where your focus points
+++++++++++++++++++

When the camera’s focus is altered, the photograph changes dramatically. When the focus of your awareness changes, your whole life changes with it.

The quality of life you live is dictated by which portions of life you focus upon. The world appears different for every person because every person brings a unique focus to it.

To quickly change your life, change your focus. In an instant, the picture is different.

Focus is a powerful tool you can deploy to see the big picture, the small details, and everything in between. Focus shuts out the distractions, tosses away the irrelevant, and leverages your passion.

The direction of your focus maps out the direction of your day, your year, your life. The span and persistence of your focus will enable you to achieve the most ambitious goals.

Where your focus points, you cannot help but follow. Keep it always pointed in a positive, meaningful direction.

Happy for no reason

happy

If you place conditions on happiness, even when those conditions are all met you won’t enjoy real happiness. You’ll be living in fear that those conditions will change.

Make your happiness a choice, not a reaction or result. Give happiness to life rather than waiting for some particular set of circumstances to bring it to you.

The world can and will treat you unfairly, and yet happiness is still yours to choose. When you do, you activate the power to change your world for the better.

Being happy with life is not some silly, superficial emotion that evaporates with the next moment. Real, unconditional happiness is deep and empowering.

In the unimaginably vast expanse of time and space, you have the great fortune to be alive here and now, able to choose and to make a difference. From your gratitude for all that is, for all you are, let happiness flow.

Be happy from deep within. Let the light of that happiness brighten your whole world.

Keep on keeping on

motion

Stay in motion
+++++++++++++++++++

When life is going your way, keep going. When life is not going your way, keep going.

Don’t let yourself be stopped by the pain of failure. Don’t let yourself be stopped by the complacency of success.

Stay in motion, and you can choose your direction. Stay in motion, or you’ll get pushed around by forces outside your control.

It’s not always easy to stay in motion, yet it is always the best choice. Persist, and nothing can keep you down for long.

Build value on top of your victories and build value on top of your defeats. Stay in motion, and everything is an opportunity.

Give yourself the advantage of a powerful and prolonged momentum. Stay in motion, and stay in positive control of the way your life unfolds.

May the horse be with you

A deaf-mute girl, on a horse that she had ridden for THREE weeks!! not to mention the song she
picked out to dedicate to her deceased father! Listen to the announcer’s voice crack!

The horse she is riding is not even hers; she is training it for a client and has had it only 20 days
at the time of the ride shown here.

Note that she rides without a saddle or halter and bit and (obviously) without voice commands.

She is using the method used by American Indians. When you think your voice can’t be heard I
want each of you to watch this Video.

She has no voice. She cannot hear. Yet she has persevered and achieved VICTORY!
