IMAGINE…You are a professional photographer, the top photographer in your field. You are in all the top magazines and websites, displaying your amazing work…. You capture what other photographers can’t capture, that is why you are who you are and a well known professional. You are truly gifted. You have all the best equipment to allow you to offer the best photographs and allow you to reach your potential with your work.
Even with all your experience, equipment and knowledge, there is one thing that you have to do in order to capture that famous shot……. focus. Without being able to focus, all your pictures will be blurry. Focus comes in two stages. The first stage of focus is finding what your target is, then once you have the object in your line of vision, then the second stage is to focus in on the picture you are trying to take.
Your life is not too much different than being that photographer. We all have talent and abilities to create amazing pictures in our life. We may have matched our talent with the best equipment, education, training and more. Yet like the photographer, if we do not focus we end up with a blurry picture of our life.
We can also end up with pictures we do not want by not choosing the object we want to focus in on. As the world famous photographer, if you did not choose what you wanted to focus in on, and yet took random pictures, or if your choice of objects where not interesting, then your pictures would not be what you wanted.
When you look at your life as a picture, are you creating the pictures you want? Is your career blurry, or is the picture clear and yet not what you want it to be. What about your body, your relationships, your fun?
Take a picture of your body today in your mind, is it what you want to see? If not, take a photo to focus in on what you cannot see today yet you want so bad. See that picture that you want to create and focus in. Your focus will be the daily pictures you take to create, posts you find and everything that is going to help you create that clear picture and allow you to focus.
You have the talent to be that world famous photographer if you start focusing in on the pictures you want to create in your life. It may seem at times that you can not see what to focus in on. That is why we have to envision and create that picture. See it, create it, believe it and focus on it! Go beyond what you can see and find your target and then focus in.
Your life will develop into the pictures you create. Instead of either ending up with pictures you do not like, or blurry pictures, start to focus on the pictures you want to take and develop the life you want.
