How is your Summer going?
I am planning to visit the African American Museum in Washington DC with my family. I cannot wait!
Many folks are taking trips but the Eve Speaks team is inviting you on our thinking trip. So, few people take this trip.
Could it be because it is difficult?
I bet it is.
Einstein thought so.
He said thinking is hard work, that is why so few people do it.
But if we are going to heal, aspire and grow, so we can stop tripping over the same undesirable outcomes we have to embrace persistent, and deliberate thinking.
We are serious about Altitude. Your altitude.
So, last we identified the value in embracing the Wisdom of Big Picture Thinking, but understand that equally important is to unleash the Potential of Focused thinking.
No, I am not trying to confuse you.
You just must learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time 😊
Think ‘big picture’ and ‘focus’ at the same time.
The danger is that we could be so Big Picture that we never decide on a method to chip away at accomplishing the vision, which is the Focus needed.
So that is why we need a framework within which to think.
Think of a picture in a frame. Think of the boundaries of your favorite photo. Why do you like it? Imagine the texture, the background, the colors…
How old is the picture? Where were you when the picture was taken? Who was with you? How do you feel as your mind returns to that moment?
See how you are focusing right now?
Yes, yes.
That is the point.
Sure, there were many other things going on that day in the background but your memory of the picture in the frame is all that matters right now.
Also, consider the focus of the photographer. They zeroed in on the capture which is now the moment you still enjoy even though it may be years later.
So, it must be with you as you learn to focus your thinking. Your focus must be within the context of the Big Picture.
So what do you need to focus on in your desire to think for a change? If you desire to open new opportunities and see new horizons, you cannot afford to ignore both the value of Big Picture thinking and the importance of unleashing the Potential of Focused thinking.
Focus thinking removes the mental clutter.
It is a game changer.
