Focus

What if I gave all my attention, time & energy to one singular purpose; one goal?
What results would be derived?
How effective would I be?



A good friend of mine said something that triggered an epiphany within me...



"The extent of that which is derived from the seed sown in life is in direct correlation to:
1) The length of time the seed is in the soil,
2) The care taken in tending the soil &
3) The efficacy of the seed itself that was sown."


....And I look back on my life and marvel at the blindness I have laboured to substantiate and maintain;
For I wanted life to give me what I wanted on MY TERMS!
I wanted the luxury of little effort with great reward.

How very sad for me now to come to this turn in the road where I now see that it was ME who was Wrong, and life that was RIGHT.

For life's principles are there, clearly modeled and verified by all that is created, and are completely indifferent to who will or who won't lay hold of life's teachings.

Now I see why I have not experienced that which I long for in life,
For I have either:
1) Pulled the seed out too early before it could germinate,
2) Failed in properly tending the soil the seed was in, or
3) Simply sowed low quality seed.

The choice is now before me, just as it has always been!

...Only this time I am willing to admit I was wrong.
