" Do You Think We Can Get TOO Focussed?'

A marvelous lesson appeared for me just now as I was 
exiting thru the garage, to come to this little playplace 
they call an office.

As I opened the garage door, I startled a large moth, 
which, upon spreading it's wings, displayed a bright red 
"tail" hidden by the motley brown wings, more a "butterfly" 
than a moth.

It flew immediately to its perceived escape, the 
circle-topped window where it frantically tried to exit 
thru the invisible wall of closed glass.

I raised the third-car garage door in hopes of aiding it's 
escape. That caused it to fly higher and higher and become 
entangled in a spider web. Fearful that it would remain 
entangled in the web, I selected a long-handled broom to 
assist him escaping the tangled threads.

At this, he returned to furiously pumping his wings and 
banging into the glass, which was, in his perspective, the 
pathway of escape, but remained his cage.

By simply turning his focus to one side, he would have 
easily exited his prison. Rather, due to his intent on one 
direction, he remained confined, captive.

Why Is it That Most People Fail?

Time to Learn
by: Author Unknown

A young but earnest Zen student approached his teacher, and
asked the Zen Master:

"If I work very hard and diligent how long will it take for
me to find Zen."

The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years."

The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard
and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then ?"

Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years."

"But, if I really, really work at it. How long then ?"
asked the student.

"Thirty years," replied the Master.

"But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student."
At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will
take me longer. Why do you say that ?"

Replied the Master," When you have one eye on the goal, you
only have one eye on the path."

'What are You only Half focusing on and in YOUR and Not Achieving?"

"What Do You Expect From Today?-Love? Happiness or What?"

Act As If
By: Author Unknown

There's magic in behaving the way we want to be, even
though we don't yet feel it. The behavior seems to lead the
way. The attitude, the mental state, follows.

Many days we may not get up with love in our hearts for
our family, our friends, our co-workers. We may, in fact,
want them to show their love for us first. But if we reach
out, give love unconditionally and focus on another's
needs, love will return tenfold and the act of loving them
will lift our own spirits.

We will know love; we will feel love for ourselves and for
many other people close to us. The attitude we cultivate,
whether one of love or selfishness, inferiority or
superiority, will determine how the events of our lives
affect us.

The principle is so simple. If we meet life with love,
with a smile, we'll find love and something to smile about.
My attitude will make this day what it becomes. Meeting it
head-on, with love, will assure me of a lovely day.
