Day 269 of wisdom
“What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.”
Hal Boyle.
The sun rays is so powerful that it can be used to turn any substance into ashes, but the sun rays due to its dispersed nature has lost its power to consume any substance, if it were to be converged through a convex, it will burn whatever is on its path into ashes. Such is the power of focus. Focus is the ability to remain concentrated to a particular cause, it is maintaining an unwavering commitment towards one's dreams, and visions. A focused mind is a powerful mind, it does not know limitations, it only sees one end, and that is achieving that which he has set out to achieve.
One must be careful of the monkey mind, the mind that is never focused, the mind to which everything looks attractive and must be perched upon, this kind of mentality never achieves anything meaningful. A person with a monkey mind always turn out to be a 'Jack of all trades, master of none' knowing little about everything, but never knowing enough about something; starting so many things, and never completing any.
As important as focus is, focus alone does not get one to his destination, one must add determination, discipline, and persistence to focus so as to make for a complete set of necessary vehicles towards one's desired destination, not forgetting courage which as described by Maya Angelou is "the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently." Without the courage to pursue your dreams, you can't be determined, disciplined, and persistent in the pursuit of your desired dreams, and heart desires.
The storms may rage fiercely, but it also make people stronger, it should never stop you from pursuing your dreams, the storms will not last forever. In the words of Roy T. Bennett, "When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up." never lose sight of your dreams, keep your gaze always on that which your heart sincerely desires, the best way out of tough times, out of the storms is always through it. Be at peace with yourself, never doubt that you will get to where you want to be, just keep going, look not to the left nor to the right and you will get there.
