Focus is Everything

Pinpoint your agenda

Live not in response to another,
but in full appreciation of one's self
and focused on accomplishing one's own goals.

And if in the process others are supportive,
all the better...but such is not the goal.

Be in the present, not the past;
release the anger from hurts.

Ignore detractors...
the best revenge is staying the course
and reaping the rewards.
You can't rocket forward while veering side to side.

Save yourself from pointless, self-defeating
anger. You will change no minds in confrontation, but
you will draw time and energy away from your needs.
