Fwd: The Power of Focus

[Guest guest]

The Power of FocusBy Alan Tutthttp://www.PowerKeysPub.com " Anything is possible to that person who can focus their mind on

one thing exclusively until that focus is no longer required. " Very few people are able to truly focus their minds. Most of usget side-tracked, distracted, lose interest, or simply try to dotoo much.

It seems that when we try to focus ourselves to a single task,other things present themselves and we find ourselves unable todecide how to proceed. Do we continue doing what we were workingon, or do we switch gears and go off in a new (possibly better)

direction?Napoleon Hill writes extensively about the power of determinedfocus of mind in his classic, " Think and Grow Rich " . Sticking toa decision as if your life depends upon it is one of the key

points that Mr. Hill was determined to get across to the readerof that magical self-help masterpiece.There are many example of exactly WHY being focused leads tosuccess.One example - have you ever tried to cut a piece of steak with a

butter knife? Doesn't work nearly as well as using a sharp(physically focused) knife, does it?What happens when you focus a beam of light into a point with alens? That light gets hot enough to burn paper, right? Further

focus of light into a single wavelength yields a laser beam thatcan even cut through metal.While most people have difficulty juggling 5 balls at once due tothe diffusion of focus required for the task, almost everyone can

easily juggle a single ball - because their mind is focussed!Henry Ford proved to the world that a group of people are farmore productive when each person focuses upon a single aspect ofthe overall process. Now, assembly lines are the standard way to

manufacture anything.Top business people find that they are able to get much more workdone when they clear off their desks and work on one task at atime. They pull out a folder, do the work required, and file it

away until it's needed again.Those who list the things they must do each day on a ToDo listfind that they are able to get much more done in a day simplybecause they are focused on one thing at a time until each item

on the list has been checked off.Those who meditate find that by focusing their minds to a singlepoint provides them with a clarity of mind that yields someinteresting results. Not only do they attain greater inner

peace, but they are able to deal with Life's many challenges withless effort and happier results.And those who work with mind power development courses such asthe Silva Method or the Keys To Power system find that as they

acheive greater degrees of mental focus, they are able toinfluence the world around them in ways that seem almost magical.Mental focus is not something that you either have or you don't,but is something that can be developed through exercise,

practice, and determination. However well or poorly you arepresently able to focus your mind, you can develop your mentalpowers to the point where you can focus on a single thing withoutany distractions whatsoever.

Anyone can set aside 5 minutes at a time to develop their powerof focus. One simple exercise you can do during this time is tocount backwards, starting at 100 and counting down to 1. Don'trush through this, take your time. The idea is to focus your

mind completely on each number before moving on to the next one.Another simple exercise is to memorize things. Pull out yourcontact list - those people whose names and phone numbers youneed on a regular basis. Or anything else you find yourself

looking up from time to time. This exercise has the addedbenefit of practical application.However you decide to develop your power of focus, you'll findthat you're able to get much more out of life because of it.

Good luck.----------------------------------------------------------------Alan Tutt is the author of several mind development courses,including the Keys To Power - Step by Step course, the Keys ToPower Prosperity course, and the Keys To Power Persuasion course.
