You Are What You Focus On

The second of this weekend's link posts is some timely advice from Ayodeji Awosika on focussing on what you are rather than what you are not.


Stop letting them distract you.

No watching news this week. Do something that matters instead. Write the draft, lift the weight, call the potential customer, paint the picture, spend time with the loved one, serve the community, love the neighbor, care for yourself, seize the opportunity.

No focusing on what you aren’t. Focus on what you are — capable, resilient, human.

No outrage over the latest scandal. Focus on what you can control — your attitude, your action, your own moral fortitude and example set for others.
Maybe I went a little deep with this one, but what I see today appears to be a classic magic trick…

How does a magician trick you? He misdirects you. He draws your attention to his distraction while the real trick is happening elsewhere.

Don’t let the current climate of society trick you. While you’re focusing on what to be mad about you’re missing out on all the good the world has to offer.
