Focused Inward? Focus Outward!

Jennifred Jones

Oh, man! I don’t know what to write about! If I say this –that person may not like it, if I say that –somebody else won’t like it. Probably no one will like/need/want what I have to say. So I guess I’ll just stay safe and say nothing 😦

All wrapped up in my self-made cocoon, not developing, not coming out, refusing to become/share what I have to contribute.

It’s dark inside this cocoon, nobody to talk to, too quiet, and I feel cramped. Can’t get around, can’t do anything except lay-low and wait….wait for what!?! How long is this going to last? How long do I have to be in here?

Hold on!….. I have a key to get out! That is the key!! Looking outward!!!

There’s a whole bunch of people outside…wanting to see what I’m doing. They want to see what I’m about. Perhaps I can help them…wait! they’re helping pull me out. I can see the sunshine, it feels good on my wings, and I am gaining strength….let’s see, that person over there has a need…I think perhaps….Hey! those guys need help and I know what to do there too! I can’t help everybody, but I’m already pretty busy helping somebody!

That key sure worked great!!!

Now when I get stuck inside…I’m gonna look outside. There is a world of people needing what I have to give.

Throw off the wraps!

There’s work to do!

Will you join me?

What Do You See?

Jennifred Jones

It’s a matter of training; training ourselves what to look at… a matter of focus.

We don’t aim our cameras for any old shot to take, we take good aim and focus on what we want shown in that picture …that will no doubt be shared with others.

What we focus our thoughts and lives on is what we will share with others in our words or through our actions.

Focus on ugly often leads to doing ugly.

Focus on good often leads to doing good.

An artist focuses on what he wants to paint or draw and that’s what he produces. Even in a ‘non-artistic’ mode what we focus on is what we draw out of our lives.

What are you focusing your lens on?

What are you painting on your life canvas that will be shared with others?

Give them a good picture.

Give them something worthwhile to remember.

Give them something to inspire them to paint a better picture.
