Have you ever heard the expression, ‘being in the zone’? Well, if you have, you know that it comes from absolute focus on whatever the task is at hand. A runner refers to it as ‘runner’s high’. Artists are in ‘the zone’ when they are doing their art. Hours can pass wherein they will completely lose track of time. Authors are in ‘the zone’ when they write. The words just flow onto the paper.
Focus is the key to creativity! When you truly focus, you tap into the Ether. You tap into the energy that guides the Universe. When you truly focus, you tap into an Intelligence that we all have access to, all the time.
There are many ways to exercise focus in your life. You can meditate. When you meditate you feel that Intelligence flowing through you. To exercise focus you can run, or paint, or write, or work on a project. However, access to the Infinite Intelligence is available to you in every moment of every day.
My daily mantra is, ‘All my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are deliberate’. I live my life on purpose. And when I do this, I walk in ‘reverence’, as John O’Donohue, an Irish poet and philosopher so beautifully puts it. When we walk in reverence, ‘our real life comes to the surface, and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things’.
‘When we walk on the Earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us.’
John O’Donohue
Every act counts. And every act is either moving us away from where we want to go, or in the direction of where we want to go. Would being deliberate about every action we take support us in getting to where we want to go more quickly? I think that the answer is, ‘yes’.
When we are not deliberate, we end up in a routine wherein today looks like yesterday, tomorrow looks like today, and the rest of our life looks like more of the same. Then we cannot even remember what we had for breakfast since we are just going through the motions.
So, when we approach our lives with reverence, and when we are deliberate, and focused in our every action, would not the quality of our every moment, and therefore, our lives improve? It think that the answer is, ‘yes’.
Therefore, approach your life with reverence for an hour, or for the morning, or for the day. And then do it for the rest of your life and observe what changes for you. Tap into the beauty of the Infinite Intelligence and experience what it feels like when beauty trusts you.
As always, have fun with it! Yakoke
