It’s amazing how much power someone has when they focus on just one thing with all their effort. It is almost always amazing when they put the time in.

Focus like a laser on your desires and you’ll get them. You won’t be able to see any other option.

Hi Chris, It comes back to centering within ourselves. We have to trust what’s within to give value to others.

Hi Megan, It’s funny how helping others really makes us focus. I think I’m the same way. When I’m coaching clients I rarely get distracted, but as soon as I have to do my own work I get easily sidetracked. I’ve been using an egg timer to help stay on task. 25 minutes on and 5 minutes relaxation. It’s worked wonders.

Hi Sid, Hugh is amazing. His work is a gift to the rest of us.

Focus is tough for me too. It’s why I drew the cartoon. Needed to remind myself to focus on what’s important.

Karl I think you’re cartoon is outstanding! It could be the cover on a book. It so depicts my life when I ‘m trying to do too much. My daughter and 2 grandchildren have been visiting for 5 days. I’ve looked like that cartoon since they arrived. Today I opted out of a bit of shopping and the movies. Peace and calm Oh My!

Hi Karl — I like that way of putting it — that creativity to some extent is about trusting that you’ve got what it takes to contribute something meaningful, rather than making a concerted effort to make something others will find meaningful.

Hi, Karl!

I’ve found that I’m pretty good about not taking on too much at once (and become quickly fatigued if I do). You’d think my creativity would just be through the roof, right?!! Ha! I wish… Instead, sometimes with that one thing if I’m not feeling the spark inside me, I’ll let myself get distracted. I sometimes think I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to my own stuff. Your stuff? Easy. I could focus on listening to or engaging with you for hours. My stuff? Hehehe… Not so much.

Like everything, it’s a process that I try and surrender to. I figure when I’m feeling creative, I’ll do creative things. When I’m not, I won’t. Maybe not as productive as it could be, but my stress level is WAY low! (smile)

Happy Friday to you! And enjoy your weekend!
