Focus and Fearlessness

Focus and Fearlessness 

This has been a pretty crazy week full of lots of school work and good times with the people closest to me. As the week has ended and we are starting a new one, it is interesting to think about what the next seven days will include. What twist and turns might happen? What conversations will we have? And who will we spend our time with?

I’d like to focus this week’s post on the immediate future and the thoughts that stem from that. It is very easy to get overwhelmed with our day to day tasks or to fall into a normal routine. So, the question is how do we deal with what life consistently throws at us and demands from us and how do we make every day different from the last.

When dealing with the ups and downs and twists and turns in our lives it is important to understand the place that we are at in our life and prepare for what is to come. Life can get pretty crazy with drama, schoolwork, stress, sports, relationships, etc., but by focusing on the positives we can tackle every one of these. I firmly believe that nothing happens in your life that you can’t handle. By having this mindset, no matter what happens or what is thrown at me in my day, I know I will be okay and can move forward knowing that I am able to handle even the most unexpected problems.

The other issue is falling into a boring diagnosed routine and how we can add new experiences to our daily lives. This is a fairly easy problem to fix. The key is getting out of your comfort zone, which can be difficult for many people, but it can create many different situations that lead to newfound friendships, experiences, and memories. By branching out, initiating conversations, asking new friends to hang out, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone you can avoid falling into a routine and can anticipate new experiences and memories moving forward.

This week’s poem I have included is entitled “Introspect”.  

Worry your soul

with the belief of beginnings

Trouble your heart

with the anticipation of love

Battle your foes

with the concept of adoration

Shelter your mind

with the hope for tomorrow.
