FOCUS ON FOCUS
Focus is the concept we are talking about this time. This is very similar to other concepts we have been discussing BUT there is something unique about FOCUS.
I would want you to stay on this for a minute or two, focus your mind on FOCUS and focus your thinking on FOCUS and come up with many thoughts and usefulness of staying focus on everything we do, from the smallest task daily to big ones affecting our choices, decisions, and life even up to eternity. I love to see what you come up with that little exercise.
Are you able to stay focus for two minutes at most on your thoughts about FOCUS?
If not?
If yes?
Let us read your comment below.
Let us watch this clip for 4 minutes.

Hummm, this is deep. To be focus on focus. Really if you try to focus on so many things at a time you will miss it along the way. Using my free hand cutting of fabrics when making dresses as an example, once I am not focus on the measurement I intend to cut, I will miss it and therefore will not be successful in cutting that pattern right. My focus is to get it right and to achieve that I must keep my focus on that. Thanks for this highlights 😍
ReplyDeleteIt is very a very important concept and applicable everywhere. I love the dimension you put into this and no doubt it helps in everything we do to be sharply focused on the focus of our achivement. Distraction may bring a fatal end. Thank you for your perspectives
DeleteThis is quite challenging when you have competing talents, capacities and opportunities. I see the need to first identify the focus to be focused. As time flies, we come to regrets. I see folks who started early to focus on focus getting to pinnacle even when they are less talented! I feel I can still redeem the time. I can now see my strong area and focus on focus. Hopefully, I can get to the top of my preferred focus.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this inspiration. Very instructive.
Interesting, many of us fall into this category and very hard to see or identify only one area of cocus but with God all things are possible and with good and honest people around us, it possible to move towards certain areas where most interest and strength lies. A deep focus on such area can take one to the apex of the pinnacles and also have to bring other areas into play and also would make room for others to grow in that areas. However we will still be relevant in those areas we choose not as our focus. Thank you. I hope one day you wil strecth out all your multi faceted strength to learn from you.
DeleteThank you Prof.
As a Photography Enthusiast, I can't agree less on the Power of Focus.
ReplyDeleteWithout focus the image will be blurred;
Without focus the the results you achieve in life will be blurred
Perfect example. No one likes blurry photo. likewise a blurry carrer or life does not do any good for anyone. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS
DeleteThank you for the perspectives. I will someday invite you to tell us more about our we achieve the focus and know when it is focused
This is actually timely. To focus on focus does not just give a short time result but maximise productivity.....
ReplyDeleteExactly. That is why this is an essential ingridient we need if we must be productive and successful
DeleteThank you
"Wherefore seeing that we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT and the SIN which doth so easily beset us, let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
ReplyDeleteLOOKING UNTO JESUS the author and finisher of our faith... HEB 12:1-2
What we read in the bible and the experience of saints around us teaches us very clearly that those who FOCUS on heaven often makes the goal. If FOCUS is required to be successful in career and business, it is foolhardy to think that any less will be required to make heaven (the ultimate success). Like John Bunyan, may God make us heavenly foothold men and women. Shalom
Amen. Our Heavenly focus has a clear begining of starting to get rid of sins and continue to heaven as our focus in that race as heaven as the focus and we focus not to allow weights to keep us down or distracts us. We have so many things distracting us ths time. But if we are so discpline to keep our eyes on the focus and keep it all the time, we are sure to get to the end desired which is Heaven.

ReplyDelete*focus is one of the things you don’t really think about in general. After reading this blog and video, it outlines the need to understand slow down and process things. Being focused today could even be seen as more difficult considering modern technology that aids in reducing one’s attention span. This exercise really helped to practice and improve my focus. I wasn’t able to stay focused for 2 minutes but after multiple tries I was able to do so.
ReplyDeleteYes, Seun you just hit right in the head. Distractions ,. A major resistant and bait to not being focused. It takes discipline and walking with your mind and hearts set on your goals. I want you to try the exercise again and again. That is the begining of getting focused on task.
DeleteFocusing is one of my greatest challenges especially when it's not something that interests me. This exercise required me to focus on my thought for 2 minutes but I soon found myself multitasking and thinking of multiple things, at the end of the day I either become successful in what I was trying to do or I confuse myself on BOTH.
ReplyDeleteI need to focus on one thing and become "rich and deep" in it so I can be an expert on it and be successful in my goal. When I try to do everything and jump from one interest to another, I end up just being average on the things I choose to do.
May God help me keep FOCUS!
rich and deep , I love those words and surely if you will use those as your yardstick to get you back to focus, success is guranteed. Dont forget it takes discipline to do. Once you constantatly do it and makes it your practice it becomes your habit and sure you are a goal getter. Keep on keeping on.
DeleteWoa! I love the topic "FOCUS". This is an eye opener for me because I love multitasking. Having listened to the clip, I will set my mind to focus on one thing at a time in order to be a master in a field, to achieve a high quality result within a short frame of time. Focusing on one thing at a time helps us to be less stressed. It also helps us to pay attention to every little details. Thereby making us an expert in that thing we are focused on. Overall being focused on focus makes us a high achiever. May God give us the grace to be focusely minded on heavenly things. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen. We all find ourselves in this big and oversized shoes that we struggle to walk faster but indeed left us with much blisters and sore. I hope a fitted shoe makes us faster to get to the goal with much comfort though it may be seems we can wear a bigger one. But we can reshape our focus always to focus of focus each time. Thank you so much for sharing .
DeleteThis is just on time! Although when you are multidimensional, it require self discipline to let go off other things that may appear very important and be focus on focus to be able to get to the focal point of success in all areas of life and relationship.
ReplyDeleteVery insightful. Thanks
Very deep and I am quite sure it is also professional to do. Thank you. We look for more from you.
DeleteDEEP first, then WIDE later (you'll know if were at kids Sunday School :-). It can sometimes be a badge of honor to be able to multi-task but in reality I am better productive when I complete tasks individually. In the long run, FOCUS is a skill I need to consciously remind myself about. Thanks for this timely reminder!
ReplyDeleteSuch as aI said up there , It is deep and it is only the deep that calleth to the deep. We should always keep our self down into the deep to get the deeper knowldege from the deep. Focus on Focus is deep and looking round is wide and also high to the top.
DeleteThank you a seasoned poet. I want to be like you when I grow up.
You can only become master on what you do constantly and consistently.
