You have a beautiful name! I like the sound of it…

Thanks so much for coming by and sharing your thoughts. Glass half-full seems more promising, doesn’t it?

I’ll be over shortly to visit your blog. I like the title of the current post… Always looking for creative thinking techniques.

Mental focus is vital to me… in the early mornings, reading, thinking, writing — always with a cup of fresh, hot coffee.

Later in the day it may be painting. I lose myself in both these activities, and time is not a factor while I’m focused.

Opening my mind to possibilities is something I practice, on a conscious level, as I write, or paint. Or drive. Or shower. Or have a gentle conversation in the coffee shop. Or listen to others’ conversations. (Yes, I do that, sometimes invited, sometimes eavesdropping. Shameless, I know.)

But staying open to and aware of what’s around you, and the inherent possibilities, is essential — in my opinion.

Thanks so much for this turn in the conversation.

Thanks too, for the link to the Starbucks thingie. I had contacted them directly too — but you gave me more information. Bless you…

nice post about law of attraction and importance of focus. It works in my life, the great thing is that since I have realized about the power of the right focus, I am more happy and have more time for the things I love, because I concentrate on them and see “glass half-full instead of half-empty”

Excellent advice, though at first that seems at odds with living fully, since by definition, focusing on one thing is cutting out the rest.

To avoid over-focusing, I have found a mental trick though that works very well. Here it is for what it’s worth. I don’t know much about Zen or meditation techniques (though I have in my time gained several diplomas in rather dubious branches of hypnotherapy). Maybe this is what the Zen and TM people do? I just tell myself to open my awareness to everything around me. I try not to try!

A metaphor comes to mind. “Don’t push the river.”

I find the spotlight then falls automatically on what matters most to me. (I love it when it’s my morning coffee!)

As I begin venturing into my creative side, I hope to gain a more purposeful focus that becomes clear and pointed soon. I truly believe if we follow our own heart’s desires that we find true happiness. And I’ve never been happier than what I’ve been doing thus far this year!

PS: did you get the link to cj.com and find Starbuck’s?
