[Quote No.48792] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire: But control of the mind is better and more difficult." - Thayumanavar

[Quote No.49142] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"Imagine that there is an hourglass on your desk. Connecting the bowl at the top with the bowl at the bottom is a tube so thin that only one grain of sand can pass through it at a time. That is the true picture of your life, even on a super busy day, The crowded hours come to you always one moment at a time. That is the only way they can come. The day may bring many tasks, many problems, strains, but invariably they come in single file. You want to gain emotional poise? Remember the hourglass, the grains of sand dropping one by one. [Imagine the range of tasks to be like the sand and order them by importance and then focus on them one by one, and step by step you will get through with calm efficiency!]" - James Gordon Gilkey

"One cannot obtain the full force of the sunlight when it is cast on a flat mirror, but once the sun shineth upon a concave mirror, or on a lens that is convex, all its heat will be concentrated on a single point, and that one point will burn the hottest. Thus is it necessary to focus one’s thinking on a single point so that it will become an effective force. [Focus on the image of the 'next baby-step' of the plan until act to overcome any inertia!]" - Abdu'l-Bahá

[Quote No.50135] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"[Focus-Action:]
Your attitudes toward time have a profound impact on your life and world, yet you seldom recognize it. Our goal is to help you reclaim yesterday, enjoy today, and master tomorrow with new ways of seeing and working with your past, present, and future... Our ability to reconstruct the past, to interpret the present, and to construct the future gives us the power to be happy. [A balanced use of the proven successful attitudes, skills and knowledge relating to each of the time perspectives or 'time orientations' is healthy. For example when considering the past it is helpful to focus on learning, gratitude and satisfaction. When considering the present it is helpful to focus on action, gratitude and mindfulness and when considering the future it is helpful to focus on planning, gratitude and anticipation.]
" - Dr. Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd Ph.D.
Dr. Zimbardo is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University and Dr. Boyd is a former student of Dr. Zimbardo, was the director of research at Yahoo!, and, currently is the research manager at Google. Quote from their book, 'The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time [perspective] That Will Change Your Life', 2009.
