Focus

There is a lot out there to distract us from the passions and goals that we strive to achieve. The world is full of noise, clutter, and ways of complicating our somewhat simple lives. The goal is to connect with something that inspires you. To set a goal and watch it come to fruition. I recently have taken up "bouldering" or climbing or whatever you would like to label it, that's not important. What is crucial is that this new "hobby" as some would call it, drives me to be a better person, to exercise, eat right, stay in tune with my body so i can excel at this activity. What is in your life that grabs you, stops you, and causes a shift in the way you move throughout your day? What inspires you to be a better person? It can be more than one thing alone, but something causes you to get up each day, grab this world by the horns and take control, or do you just 'get by' do what is needed and drift. There is special things in each of us that cause dramatic shifts in how we function, react, and even live. Find what it is in your life that sparks that drive or seek it out, don't let it fade, grasp it with your entire being. It may be the very thing that helps you rise to where you not only want to be, but need to be.
