Seminar Success Tips, The Issue of Focus, and Michelangelo:
Here's what I think about Michelangelo's comment - you know, Michelangelo carved that famous statue out of a flawed block of granite that no other sculptor would touch and when asked how he was able to create such a masterpiece from a flawed block of granite, Michelangelo stopped, then replied "I looked inside that block and saw David inside, so I carved away everything that was not that".
There's a school of thought saying that you should be focused on your goal, concentrate on it, hold on tight to it. But really, focus is not about the ability to be single minded. What focus really is, is the ability to screen out distractions!
Re-read Michelangelo's comments. He didn't say he sculpted David, he said he chipped away what was not David! Focus truly is screening out what's not in alignment with your goal.
Tomorrow I'm going to start a 5 part series on a goal achievement blueprint - a realistic step-by-step plan to get to your goals - don't miss it!
See you tomorrow,
David
