Focus - Part 1

How can you focus on love, when you’re solely focused on hate? How can you focus on beginning, when you’re solely focused on killing? How can you focus on nurturing, when you’re solely focused on discouraging? How can you focus on fullness, when you’re solely focused on lust? How can you focus on compassion, when you’re solely focused on ruthlessness? How can you focus on appreciating, when you’re solely focused on disrespecting? How can you focus on heart, when you’re solely focused on outward? How can you focus on connection, when you’re solely focused on detaching? How can you focus on loyalty, when you’re solely focused on being fickle? How can you focus on kindness, when you’re solely focused on ridiculing? How can you focus on defending, when you’re solely focused on abusing? How can you focus on harmony, when you’re solely focused on war? How can you focus on happiness, when you’re solely focused on sadness? How can you focus on growing, when you’re solely focused on minimizing? How can you focus on caring, when you’re solely focused on disliking? How can you focus on your emotions, when you’re solely focused on numbness? How can you focus on courtesy, when you’re solely focused on grievance? How can you focus on creation, when you’re solely focused on competition? How can you focus on dreaming, when you’re solely focused on being perfect? How can you focus on discovering, when you’re solely focused on concealing? How can you focus on encouraging, when you’re solely focused on hiding? How can you focus on the present, when you’re solely focused on always looking? How can you focus on actually living, when you’re solely focused on surviving? How can you focus on life’s riches, when you’re solely focused on greed? Go to part 2
