Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when
we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives."
: o ) Tony Robbins
All of us could take a step back and sharpen our saw regarding the word focus and our usage of the word in our lives. All of us : )
The blade of an ax, or saw when dull will cause much more work for its user, so the wise man takes the time to sharpen it so it will work more efficiently. They stop and make time to sharpen their saw, their tool.
We can learn much from that process. Sharpening our saw, our tools so that we can work more efficiently.
Many of guys know or have known a woman who takes so much time to focus on her beauty. They take and make much effort in putting on make up, or jewelry or taking their hair to the next level of beauty. They these women of beauty take time to sharpen their saw. They step back and look in that mirror and take the time to shape and mold and fix and beautify their persona.
That is indeed what mirrors are for to focus on and readjust ourselves and to take a moment to reflect.
When was the last time you looked in the mirror to focus on you. Your spirit your energy level and start your day out with excitement and passion.
We also take time to focus our spirit and soul and purpose when we take time to pray to God. We have that alone time with God and give thanks and ask for wisdom and strength in our daily interactions with others.
In meditation we make time and sharpen our listening skills, not to the noise on the outside but the still voice on the inside and perhaps guidance that the energy of the world wants us to take.
But... In the daily interaction with people and other events in our life do you take time to look at you from above and outside yourself? I call it the look from above.
I try to do it often. Just take some moments to see what my intentions are, my purpose am I on track or can I do better. How are others that I care about perceiving me right now as I communicate with them. Can I do it better? Will I get my message across better if I adjust my tone or my energy that I deliver my message with.
If we can focus more and sharpen our saw more we will indeed make this New Year 2012 a year of making a difference not just for ourselves but for those around us.
May your day be blessed and smiles sent your way today : )
This weeks new affirmation :
I choose to focus on the energy that I create with my happiness. My smile can brighten another persons spirit quick and efficiently. The difference I make is not in the moment that I just shared with another, that smile, the kind word but it is in the difference that is created by the ripple effect of love and kindness. I choose to share that ripple and it flows out, further and further each day. The ripple effect of laughter, of kindness and gratitude. I am the energy that can make a difference for future generations. I am one but with others I become a small group of people that can truly change anything for the better.
117 words that I hope starts to change your spirit from within. The spirit that says, yes we can and we should make a difference.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
