Your focus feeds the fight.

I'm just absolutely stunned at how simple the truth is.

For the longest time, I was searching for the answer to why I wasn't getting the results I wanted to.  You know what?  I even found THE problem... sort of.

I found a problem, sure.  Heck, I CREATED that problem so I could have something to focus on to get rid of, when in reality, the problem was that I was searching for a problem.  So, instead of living the solution and achieving my mission, I found something to blame instead.  Kinda sad, eh?  Yeah, I know.  Here's something I learned when I learned about this.  It happens all the time, and it happens to everyone.  People who want to be better focus on why they aren't better, couples will focus on each other's little flaws and why their relationship won't work anymore instead of recognizing the effort made by each and the bajillions of good things they both have to offer to that relationship.

In the New Testament, it is said that Christ suffered temptations, but he gave them no heed.  No heed!  Oh, how easy it is!  And it took me this long to actually get it.  Haha.  I'm glad it did though.  It allows me to appreciate it more.  I've been practicing.  Sure, there are things that annoy me.  There are things that make me upset, but those emotions pass.  It's just a matter of how quickly you decide not to pay them any heed.

What's your focus?
