Focus on the force…

“Your focus determines your reality.”

Qui-Gon Jinn

It seems appropriate to use a quote from a Star Wars character on May the fourth. I imagine most folks won’t know the source (I didn’t either, in full disclosure), but the wisdom within is powerful regardless of whether a “reel” person said it.  

You can apply this to almost every possible expenditure of your precious life energy.  

If you focus on the things that make you angry, you will be angry. 

If you focus on the people you love, you will feel love.

If you focus on the things that don’t matter, your life won’t matter.  

If you focus on being a force OF good, your life will be a force FOR good. Maybe there is something to this “force” stuff.  

May the force be with you…

Your obstacle is a gift…

“Smile at the obstacle, for it is a bridge.”

Medusa

One of the books that I reread regularly is “The Obstacle Is The Way” by Ryan Holiday. I love seeing how people we now hold in high regard had challenges and roadblocks in their lives that would have stopped the average person in their tracks. However, as you read their stories and understand the obstacles they faced, you learn that in many cases, it was the obstacle itself that provided them the opportunity to become the person we now esteem.  

The obstacle you face is the gift; it is the moment of opportunity you have been waiting for. What are you going to do with it?
