One of the main reasons most of us don't meet our goals and financial desires is because we underestimate the power of "staying focused". Yeah I know, having a conversation about "staying focused" isn't exactly ranked high on the gossip polls, and since most gossip is trivial and pointless, maybe it's time that we focus, on the power of being focused.
Trust me, anytime you're not following the crowd and keeping-up with the silly Jones, chances are, you're moving in the right direction. Listen, I don't like the "blame game" and I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but lately I'm beginning to think maybe there's some kind of conspiracy to make most of us dumb and to divert our focus towards sex, Botox and cosmetic surgery. Ever since Pfizer released the blockbuster drug "Viagra" (Cialis, Levitra etc.) HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases have been on the rise among senior citizens.
While we're busy focusing on short lived emotional pleasures, the income gap between the haves and the have-nots is steadily increasing. The world is changing folks, and the future belongs to those who are able to focus on matters of upward mobility. Staying focused is the key. Every now and then, during the Winter Olympics broadcast, I'd sneak a peek and marvel at how focused the athletes were. I'm not into figure skating but, I must admit, not only was I blown away by their courage, determination and skills; I was assessing the magnitude of their consciousness.
The power and the capabilities of the human mind are truly mind boggling. When we make a commitment to focus on that which we really (and I mean really) want, it is then, that we witness the great power of the within. Let's be honest, don't lie, are you really, really focused? The truth is, whatever you focus on always shows up through the experiences that you have in your life.
Are you really serious about getting your financial house in order? We'll see. Let me know your thoughts.
"Goals are simply tools to focus your energy in positive directions, these can be changed as your priorities change, new one added, and others dropped."

ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how so many people don't seem to have an opinion on the knowledge you are "giving" away...I bet if you blogged about Tiger woods cheating on his wife, your message board would be filled...As a people we have to wake up and realize what's really important...Rob please don't stop speaking the truth, your messages hit a spot with me every week and I'm looking forward to the next.

This is on point, Rob keep letting light of truth shine through you!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat point. It's unfortunate that so many focus on what others have and what they don't have, and never change their financial status. But if instead we would really focus on educating and improving our lives then the Jones' would want to keep up with us.
ReplyDeleteDrew,
ReplyDeleteAs long as you keep your ears and eyes open, I’ll keep speaking the truth. I’m as excited as a kid in a candy store about this wisdom. What’s really amazing to me is, the words of wisdom I speak have been around for thousands if not millions of years. 500 years before Jesus walked the earth, the philosophers of Greece traveled over to Egypt (Africa) to study the principles of life. Studying life principles awakens one to the Universal Laws that govern the great universe. Understanding the laws, brings wisdom, and wisdom brings everything good and much more.
Much love,
Rob
