+ Focus…

This Sunday brunch is going to be a shorter one, but a re-enforcement of one of things that I have talked about many times in my various thoughts earlier. I could have picked up any other topic, for the sake of being different, but then as always, I chose to share about what has had maximum impact on me in the last one week.

So, staying with my choice, I am going to speak a little more about the power of focus in our life. Last week has given me enough opportunities to be happy, and to allow some not so happy times to be a part of me. Whatever had to happen, happened as far as situations are concerned. And to be honest, I did allow some of them to be all about happiness for me. But I feel good, majority of the times that was not the case.

Anyways, the matter to be focused upon is not what happened, but how I reacted. And this is where my belief about ‘what we focus on, expands’, expanded. Things happened as they were supposed to be, but it was my own focus that created my realities, which was totally independent of what was happening around me.

There were times, when I allowed myself to sulk because of something not happening as I expected it to be, and thus became one with sadness. And then there were times when I chose to be happy and was being joyous no matter what. In both the scenarios, it is not that what was happening changed in anyway, but what definitely changed was what was happening to me. And when I took charge of my own focus, I became in-charge of my own reality, despite of whatever was happening around me.

What re-affirmed by belief in the power of focus is that there were a couple of situations, where I allowed myself to sulk because of my focus on the not so good things, and though the situations still lasted, I experienced a totally different space for myself, once I allowed myself the liberty to focus on the good things of life. And the most magnificent part of it is that my positive focus did not only change how I felt in that time, but It also made sure that the not so good times, either got shortened in their duration, or at least were not stretched in my imagination, beyond when they were actually over.

I said that this is going to be a short one, because I also am aware that I can go endless about my belief and experiences related to the power of focus. What my intent was today, is to share my recent most experience with it, and to hope that a recollection of this thought may become helpful to those who read in the week ahead.

Stay Safe! Love to all!
