The sun sets on another day…
I saw part of the sunset as I took a walk in the woods. There was a beauty that I couldn’t quite describe and then it was gone. Last mile and for a moment at the irony that I loved sunset so much and had a hard time seeing them during the winter. Then I thought of the sky high above and knew the world was OK.
I have a tendency of focusing way too much when I am interested in a subject. I’ve talked about this before and I’ve tried very hard to be careful over time. Some people understand but many people are quickly overwhelmed by the intensity of my focus and how much I want or need to look at and resolve a problem. I have to admit sometimes I am a little intense for myself.
I was reading today and trying to take up a few moments in between a couple of things that I had to do. As I read I became engrossed in several of the things going on in the book and I can say for just a moment that I lost focus on the world in favor of learning what was before me. Isn’t this type of laser focus what we need sometime? Isn’t this type of focus necessary to move to the next level?
All I can say is that sometimes it takes this type of focus to open our eyes and let us see something larger than ourselves. Sometimes the laser focus can create a laser or something equally as amazing. Find your laser focus and occasionally just enjoy getting lost in learning.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope I learned something today. I actually hope I learned something every day. Find your center and when you do I hope that you can get lost in the laser focus necessary to make a difference in the world, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and I’m glad I learned that…
