Focus

 

 

What is more important than all the wisdom in the world?!

 

Focus!!!

 

You see, we are bombarded with information: what is good food and bad food; good lifestyle choices i.e. sedentary vs. exercise; spirituality, gratitude vs. taking things for granted;…

 

All of it means precious little, like a prescription that is not filled and taken, if we don’t focus!

 

Focus in Kabbalistic / Chassidic terminology is, the ability to attach yourself to become passionate and really feel the importance of an idea.

 

We may be aware of everything that we need to do as most men are, but we may do precious little, for the simple reason that what we instinctually are attracted to, like a mouse to cheese, has the primary passion, the primary subconscious focus of our existence.

 

How can there be such a strange dichotomy between someone really knowing that smoking will kill him and yet he smokes, the answer is that what he knows is intellectual and what he wants to do is emotional.

 

The intellect doesn’t become an emotion without focus!
