I have got to do something that makes me focus on one thing, and so I will sit and listen to music, or I will read, or I will go and make ammunition in my workshop. I have just got to keep myself busy.
Clear focus is the mind’s magic wand. It points your creativity in a particular direction and channels your experience behind it. Wherever you clearly focus, you create.
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
When the heart and mind focus on things unseen - that's when there's a visible change in us.
One of the major failures of the church is not a focus on building disciples but a focus on building members.
With Instagram, the focus is on the present tense.
The most effective CEOs have a primary source for tracking their markets. They meet with their teams frequently enough to keep innovation flowing, to reduce and focus costs, to be energized. They create a tight agenda and they set high goals.
