Category: Focus

There is no such thing as “the real world”, but there is such a thing as reality. Nature abhors a void. New research has found that there is even no void state in the mind. You are never thinking “nothing”, you literally cannot.


Reality is focus. You don’t want “everything”, absolutely no one does. No one wants it all. They can’t include it all in their focus, but you want some things and getting those things is up to you. If you seek to get “things”, you will get nothing, because wanting things for the sake of having things is wanting nothing, so you get what you want.


I persist in what I do for focus. I falter in what I do for lack of focus.


“It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” Anthony Robbins (American advisor to leaders)


“Our thoughts create our reality — where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.” Peter McWilliams


“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” Brian Tracy (American television host)

  • Reality Is Focus

    Reality Is Focus

    Your center is a place. Center is a noun. Focus is an action, or body of actions, and well… Your focus literally is your reality. Everything that has your attention is part of your focus, and you have a focus whether you have knowingly chosen it or not. You cannot avoid having a focus, because…

  • Focus Challenge

    Focus Challenge

    I will describe how my life gets, because I am focus challenged. I wake in the morning and whatever I was dreaming is still quite active in what they call my “working memory.” The mood or imagery or conversation is in my head and won’t leave despite my maybe needing it to. I walk out…

  • Rational Focus

    Rational Focus

    Rationalism. “Be rational.” Don’t allow things to have more than minimal meaning. That is the essence of rationalism. You have to be sparse with meaning. This is why an artist is supposedly irrational. They can see a lot of meaning in an apple, say, and most other people just sort of dismiss that with an…

  • Renewed Focus

    Renewed Focus

    Focus is seen as very important. People will do a lot to gain and keep focus and at the same time also undermine focus. Seems like a very in and out thing, does it not? Is it that focus is innately unstable, or is it our focusing behaviour that does this to us? Our tolerance…

  • Choice Of Focus

    Choice Of Focus

    I will make a challenging statement, and my intention is not to offend. You don’t see what is there, no one does. Whenever you see anything, you see only the part of you that is there. The quality of your attention or judgement. Inside is a reflection of the outside? Yes, exactly. I think that’s…

  • Where Is The Problem?

    Where Is The Problem?

    We all will have a focus, but how do we know we are focused? How do we even know what focus is? If you conform to a standard you’re kind of being controlled by the creators of that standard instead of flowing with your own nature. Very true. We say we have a focus if…

  • Lived Values

    Lived Values

    Choose wisely what you focus. Where we were mistaken before in our choices was in identification. Believing that causes in our lives are “out there.” Subscribing to the delusion that there can be any such thing as external causes. Law of manifestation. Be careful what you wish for (or rather focus on) you might just…

  • You Get What You Want

    You Get What You Want

    Spiritual movements often disempower people. This whole thing about “Your ego makes you suffer. Don’t be who you think you are and you can be happy. It’s the “only way”.” In my experience, it isn’t that people are egotistical that’s the problem. They aren’t aware of it enough. Happiness comes from gratitude? Happiness does come…

  • Act Rich

    Act Rich

    I want to be rich, but how do I act rich if the money isn’t there to do so yet? Here is one thing. You have friends who are financially ok, or are all your friends struggling financially? Have you made the acquaintance of people who are rich or even close? Have you ever met…
