Where Is Your Focus?
Today I’d like to look at another aspect of focus and ask you to think about where your focus currently lies.
There are three different types of focus:
There are three different types of focus:(1) Past Focus
(2) Present Focus
(3) Future Focus
(1) Past Focus
(2) Present Focus
(3) Future Focus
(1) Past Focus
People who have a past focus, spend most of their time analyzing events that occurred in the past. They think about these events constantly and often relive past experiences over and over again. They talk about "The way things used to be" or "What I used to do…" and often find it hard to let go of specific incidents. The danger of focusing on the past too much is that you may end up actually ‘living’ in the past instead of the present.
(2) Present Focus
People who have a present focus spend all their time dealing with day-to-day activities. They do not dwell on the past, nor do they think about the future. Instead they simply react to what life brings them on a daily basis. They are always extremely busy ‘fighting fires’ but do not stop to think about where they are really going.
(3) Future Focus
People who have a future focus understand that regularly thinking about and visualizing the future you want is the crucial first step to making your dreams a reality.
To some extent we all reflect on our past and get caught up in day-to-day events, however, in order to move ahead and achieve your dreams you must learn to shift your focus to your future on a regular basis.

This week, ask yourself these questions to determine where your focus currently lies.(1) Do you spend a lot of time thinking about the past?
If so, then remember the old saying that "today really is the first day of the rest of your life." Whatever has happened – try and let it go. Nothing in your past is as important as figuring out what you want from your future.
(2) Are you busy focusing on day-to-day fire fighting?If so, then try and schedule some time into your program to review where you are and clarify where you are heading.
