Obsessive State

Obsessive State

The fact that in the obsessive state we overlook "realistic" aspects of the object of desire and focus on sheer delight suggests that the loving eye sees something to which the cold eye of reality is blind.

(Thomas Moore - Soul Mates, p. 220)

Focus

When we aren't feeling well, it's much harder to think clearly, to relate in positive ways to others, to focus on contribution instead of survival.

Unscrupulous Leaders

The entire culture will benefit by having strong, inner-directed people as leaders and everyday citizens. A citizenry that thinks for itself, a country in which people know and trust themselves as individuals would be virtually immune to manipulation by unscrupulous leaders.
(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 242)

... we need to be held accountable. We need to be "audited" by others to know how we are doing and what areas need more focus.
(Cloud & Townsend, God Will Make A Way, p. 31)

Good Communicators

Photo by Mr. Dickie

Good communicators are aware of their feelings and able to express them. How we feel is at least as important as what we think. Knowing our own feelings and being able to tell our loved ones about them can be extremely helpful.
(Harry & Emily Griffith, This Love We Share, 20 June)

Focus is important. Focus on those parts of yourself that are working. Look at yourself as someone ... [who] is in the process of healing. Concentrate of the positive parts.

What Can Be

Are you going to spend your time and energy on what should have been, or are you going to focus on what can be? (John C. Maxwell, Leadership, 11 February)

Discernment

... one way to develop discernment is to limit our factual intake. There are millions of things that clamor for our attention that we are no worse off for not knowing. Millions of things we should pay no attention to whatsoever. But it is up to us to turn our eyes [and ears] away from them, the way we turn off a television set. We do not need to know everything. We need to focus on what matters most. (Lewis B. Smedes, A Pretty Good Person, p. 129) 18 February 2013

Focus your attention and energy on the things that you can stand for. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 29 November) 9 December 2012

One-Pointed Intention

One-pointed intention means holding your attention to the intended outcome with such unbending purpose that you absolutely refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the focused quality of your attention. (Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, p. 75) 24 February 2012

Focus Of Attention

The world is full of talkers, people who are there far more for what they can get than for what they can give. (after William Barclay, The Letters to Timothy, p. 249)

The whole earth is now the focus of attention and not just individual nations and cities. (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 466)
