On Focus

On Focus

Before a man learns to truly master himself
and direct all his attention
toward that which gauges his heartbeat,
toward that which, keeps him off of the beaten path
toward that which, makesΒ him arise each day
toward that which, truly, motivates him
he must first, admit to himself
he must first, cry to himself
he must first humble his opinions
and open himself to All things,
and learn that fear, is the mind killer
that beauty exists everywhere, in All things
that Love, is the springboard
from which, All things spring
that the music of the soul, is contagious
and a simple smile,
can change the world...

When making this most noble effort
to master himself
he learns,
it is the effort
itself,
which makes
All,
the difference...

Went for a studies yesterday (the same day you wrote this) and the topic for discussion was "Focus" we read 2 Cor. 4:16-18 where Apostle Paul admonishes us to focus on things that are unseen as things that are seen are perishable...While things that are unseen are eternal...Logging in to Cosmo I discovered you did a write "On Focus"...Is this a coincidence?...Anyway, I'm glad I caught this as it is very very inspiring....Thanks for being YOU!

Hey Thanx your ROSE-NESS!!......VERY cool ~ thanx for sharing this girlfriend......and NO!!......I don't think it was coincidence......there are some VERY powerful books on the subject.......which agree that coincidence is a matter of like-minded individuals putting out similar energy.....at which point the laws of attraction take over......I go into some detail concerning these ideas on my blog.......the eyes are deceptive.....in physics we learn ~ that which the eyes cannot see are forms of energy that are interpreted by the mind as intuition, premonitions, etc.Β  In short, we were on the same wave-length at the corresponding moment in time......the world is a VERY interesting place.....and I'm so glad our paths have crossed my friend......after all.......you're a pretty groovy chick ROSE!! (smiles)....anyway, i'm rambling, which I have a tendency to do when Metaphysics are involved.......thanx so much for this sister girl......stay cool!!........smiles.....T xoΒ Β  ?βœ³βœ΄β˜€

Bravo. Love the repetition that which helps us focus on the true details.....that which really practices the student unto a master, and in time don't we all wish to achieve all those things of mastery to truly harness our own self destiny....well that is what hou so magnificently captured in this incredible write brother. As always....very inspiring words T. You're the man. Peace!

My Dear Brother Tony,

A great man once said, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself". Β Once it is conquered, the world is brighter. Β The sun replaces the darkness. Β The heart hunts happily. Β The soul smiles in sobriety. Β True focus is founded.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx
