No Direction Home

At whatever age or stage of life you may be in, you may be saying (to your-self)… “what good will it do me, to sit and imagine what I ultimately want in life… I have to pay the bills, I need money…I have immediate problems that must be attended to…I don’t have time to sit around and daydream about what I want in life…I need immediate action on immediate pressing issues, right this minute…I have no time for fantasies”

One of the biggest reasons that so many people don’t get what they want in life is that they don’t take the time to sit down and figure out (imagine) what they really do want. It is not an exercise in futility; it is an exercise in direction.

People will go to self-improvement gurus who will try to whip them into shape and try to make them feel good about themselves. These speakers are pep talkers and drill sergeants, motivational speakers, whose goal it is to pump you up about how great you are and how much potential you have to achieve what you want. But, if you have not taken the time to figure out what you do really want, then you are some temporarily pumped up person with no real direction.

Your Primary Focus

Author: Seth Manne

10 17th, 2008

As you go through life, you may find that your mind loves to think about a certain area of life and whenever you think about that area, you feel in touch with whom you really are as a personality. This could be anything from spirituality to showbiz to cars, women, men, sex, money, or whatever.

 

With today’s modern media influenced mentalities, many men, as shaIIow as it might seem, have a dual primary mind that is constantly focused on sex and money. Any time they are involved with sex or money, they feel in touch with what they really want. Many women have a dual primary mind that focuses on romance and beauty. They become primarily concerned with being in love and looking beautiful. They often spend their lives seeking romance and trying to look beautiful.

 

There are endless examples of what I am describing here. I am not rating any endeavor or interest as shallow or worthy because that is not for anyone to judge. No harmless endeavor or interest is any more worthy than any other. I am just saying that your primary focus, the thing that you spend the most time thinking about, obviously indicates the things that you are the most interested in.
