A life-altering equation…
FOCUS + FOUNDATION
___________________
= FUTURE
Although inundated with distractions daily, we still always have a choice with focus…
A choice of what tasks to take on.
A choice of what we say no to.
A choice of how much time we spend working on our craft.
A choice of how much time we spend scrolling, binge watching TV, or watching news feeds.
A choice to see challenges as opportunities.
A choice to complain, blame and settle into negativity when faced with challenges.
A choice to BE STILL…listen and learn.
I could go on…bottom line; we all choose where we put our focus.
But here’s a little secret; consistently choosing the right focus is significantly dependent upon having the right FOUNDATION!
In other words…
1️⃣Who are you trying to please with your choices?
2️⃣What are you trying to accomplish in life and why?
3️⃣Where do you find your security in life?
4️⃣Who are you living for?
5️⃣What does your faith rest in?
6️⃣Why are you pursuing the things you pursue?
7️⃣What is your identity?
8️⃣Why are you here on this earth?
These 8 questions can be incredibly revealing when it comes to the health of our foundation in life…assuming we answer them honestly🤔
And, what I’ve found in terms of patterns in my life, when my faith, my motives, my identity and my pursuits are healthy, it’s much easier to maintain healthy FOCUS.
So, I challenge you to do a heart-check by asking yourself these questions…(and by being honest with your answers)!
I’m confident, if you make the right adjustments regarding your FOUNDATION, your FOCUS will follow…and your FUTURE will thank you later💪🏻❤️💪🏻
