‘Use you unseen hours. Make the most of your time- those at the top do not waste a second. Focus on what matter.’– Alan Stein Jr.

You get what you focus on in your life. You have the power to focus on things that are important to you.

If something is not important to you, if it is not going to add value to your life, if you are not getting better at work, in life, then you are not focusing on what is important to you.

You are focusing on the wrong things. You are focusing on distractions.

Remember, we are not going to be here forever. So if you want to get ahead in your life, do not waste a second on anything that is not going to change the direction of your life.

There are distractions everywhere. But if you really want to change your life, to do great things in your life, to dive into the unknown, to know what you don’t know, and to unlearn what you know before, you must focus on what matters to you, not to others.

What are you doing to sharpen your focus?

When You Meet People, Always Imagine True Things

‘If he be not a true man, he will draw evil out of the best; … if he be a true man, he will imagine true things…’- George MacDonald

We are good at judging people we don’t even know. When we meet other people, instead of focusing on what they are good at, we are after their weaknesses.

We are trying to figure out our differences. We are trying to know where they are different from us. That is wrong!

If you focus on other people’s weaknesses, you will never see their strengths.

If you want to know people, give them time to tell you who they really are. And they will.

Do not judge people before you even know them. We are good at doing that. And that is why we never get it right. Always wrong!

It is always wrong because you can’t judge what you do not know.

How can you judge someone you don’t even know? You can’t. Why is that? Because people are changing. You are changing. I am changing. And the world around you is changing. Nothing stays the same, even dead things.

You are not alone. We judge people every day. To do it right, if it is even right, you must start with yourself.

If you do not know others, you don’t know yourself. If you know other people, you know yourself. Because we see ourselves through the actions of other people.

People are great at heart. Whenever you meet people, do not start by judging them. Instead, give them love. And they will love you back.

Whenever you meet people, focus on what they can do, not on what they can’t do. And they will show you what they can do.
