Take a moment and look at this dancer. Notice her eyes, head, and hands. Does she seem focused?
The young solo dancer moved across the stage smoothly, like a graceful swan with a confident attitude. Flamenco dance is known for showing feelings like happiness and anger through facial expressions, movements, and the sound of the dancer’s shoes on the floor. Watching her, I could tell she had put many hours of practice and focus into her performance.
My friend, Dr. Tom Barrett, says, “Staying focused is the most important part of success.” Whether you’re working on becoming a leader, building a business, getting a promotion, or strengthening your relationships, success depends on your ability to focus.
Here are some thoughts from Dr. Barrett:
– Focus is where discipline meets dreams.
– Focus is doing what you need to do, not just what you want to do.
– Focus is how dreams turn into reality.
– Focus is what turns potential into success.
– The focus is on turning ideas into action.
– Focus helps you decide if your potential will be fulfilled.
The Apostle Paul expressed this idea in Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT):
“Forget about what’s behind and focus on what’s ahead. I press on to reach the goal God has called me to, through Christ Jesus.”
May God bless you as you focus on things that can improve your life and bring honor to Him.
