Often I feel that I can see too many connections.

Consequently every now and then I get around to re-focusing on what really is most important to me – I try and sort the most important from the important.

Successful people seem to have been focused during the time that they were becoming successful – but I suspect that there were earlier stages.

I suspect that before they have the ability ‘stay focused’ they have  to become focused, and there must have been a pre-condition to becoming focused.

The pre-condition is the possession of such qualities as the desire to move forward and the confidence that things will come into focus, and a sense of purpose will announce.  We can make our sense of purpose concrete as a visualization.  With a visualization we can see with purpose and have purpose in our seeing.

Of course many of us have a nagging voice of self-doubt – from which we have to learn to become detached.  With or without the help of others we have to integrate within the whole that is us the source and the messages of that nagging negativity.

As with the ‘magic eye’ pictures it is a matter of relaxing – until things come into focus.

As an inspiration here is a quotation from a spiritual source;

So long as the thoughts of an individual are scattered he will achieve no results, but if his thinking be concentrated   on a single point wonderful will be the fruits thereof.

One cannot obtain the full force of the sunlight when it is cast on a flat mirror, but once the sun shineth upon a concave mirror, or on a lens that is convex, all its heat will be concentrated on a single point, and that one point will burn the hottest. Thus is it necessary to focus one’s thinking on a single point so that it will become an effective force.
