The key
to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we
fear. - Brian Tracy

As we are nearing the completion of the first quarter of

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, focus is:
a: a center of activity,
attraction, or attention, b : a point of
concentration.
Our dreams and goals are what we should be focusing on. However, it is very easy to get distracted by people asking us to take on new responsibilities or new opportunities may come along that may look like they would be beneficial
to help us accomplish our dreams and goals.

work like a lens of a camera. If you set the lens and focus correctly, you will
be able to take a clear picture. If it is out of focus, your picture will be
blurry.
To accomplish our dreams and goals, staying focused is an
absolute necessity. Early this year, I
had situations arise where I had to decide if the request asked of me would
keep me “in focus” or if taking on the new responsibility would take me “out of
focus”.
Deciding

encountered and how I handled them.
