The Right Focus

Maria Duval - Right FocusLife can be fast and busy for unwary people that days after days pass by in a blink. A quarter of 2010 just goes by like that...Looking back at my week, the past seven days seem like a blurry flash. That's a hint for you in certain way how I feel about the past 1 month.

Feeling this way because I am so very busy with work so often that I tend to keep my focus on the wrong things, and this is something I hope can improve on.

For example, I was driving home today and could not help but think about the poor road conditions. I was focusing on the construction process that has been overtaking a local street for a few weeks, but has felt like months. Driving through slow traffic, I thought about the valve boxes and sewer grates that I drove over because they made my drive so bumpy.

The actual condition of the road is beside the point. I have so many other things in my life that could have occupied my mind. Rather than dwell on the negative details, I could choose to think about the positive things in life which will only help me to better enjoy my days.

If we all try our best to think about the good things that are happening in our lives, we will be able to better deal with the somewhat unpleasant things in our lives whether it is a hectic day at work or driving home through road construction every day. Try to make a conscious effort to appreciate the little things in your life and, trust me, that will make your day seem so much better.
