    Through the Hard Times Stay Focused

    We all go through things in our life (hard times) and literally brings us to our knees. Work related, family, finances and just LIFE can cause our focus to change and deter us from the path we are. Stay focused no matter what.

    Ive had some high and low times, specifically this last year, however I always stayed focused. I may have been crawling but I knew if I let my mind go just a little I would loose it.

    Ive learned that surrounding yourself around focused people helps pull out of the quicksand woes of life. Not everyone in your inner circle can help you ive learned this along the way. Maybe folks like yourself who have been through a similar situation or just an overall good mentor that are able to articulate the common sense you need to stay focused.

    We must keep in mind that the situation whether temporary or long term can and will get better with either time or by what we do. I know that in the heat of the moment or battle its hard to see through the smoke but know it will clear and you will be left standing better, stronger and more focused then you ever were.

    Never did I think I would go through some of the experiences I have, but I do believe in God and also believe in his plan. Not what or where I wanted to walk but when the smoke cleared I stood atop of a mountain looking out on beauty from the peace of battle.

    We can do it together, YOUR NOT ALONE. I know my writings are very deep for the most part, but we must allow ourselves to touch that inner most being that is being prepared to be an Alpha Lion. Maybe through a few heartfelt words I write will help someone else know its going to be ok, your going to make it and your loved regardless of your past. Who are we to judge another, but who are we to not love everyone.

    My heart has been heavy today for those who may lost focus. STAY FOCUSED!

    humility should be in every man's dna.

    Nice chris, and I agree! I have tried tos stay positive and extend that to otehrs. I know it must annoy some people sometimes but I do not care,lol. If I am able to at least get to some people with it, that is all I care about. I bet each and every one of us has been in dark places and you WILL get out, always remember that. Also, when that darkness is over, you will come out stronger. "Without challenge, there is not change" "Winners never quit and quitters never win" Just a couple of many quotes I love.

    Very inspirational brother. Keep hangin' in there, cuz' we're all in the same boat! We all have our hard times, and up's & down's, high's and low's and how we behave & react thru it all builds character. Someone once told me, "True character is how we act when someone's not looking, only God." Very wise words.

    That's right brother. I am blessed with the family I have. Sometimes we just need to see their faces and our focus is reset.
