When we are faced with a problem, we
seem ready, able and willing to do
battle. Yet sometimes we enter the
battle not clear of the goal. The
best way to ensure that we make it
through the battle is to focus on the
outcome, not on the war. Focus
crystallizes and directs the powerful
energy of the mind. Focus
galvanizes the mental, emotional and
physical energy to such an exact degree
that our efforts cannot miss the mark.
When we focus on the goal and not the
obstacles that can and do come about, we
ensure victory. We should not
spend our energy worrying about what the
"enemy" might be doing. Like the
mighty Ashanti, if we focus our
thoughts, take our steps with confidence
and move forward, we may stumble but we
cannot fall. Focus gives the elk
its grace. Focus gives the gazelle
its speed. Focus gave the Ashanti
strength and a tradition as
undefeated warriors.
