Copyright by jjjohnOne - the number that signifies new beginning - new love, new friendship, new wealth, new attitude, new venture, new life, etc - may appear to be deceptively simple in its perceived power at face value. Yet when its meaning or symbolism are clearly understood, it can bring about a sort of mental "spring cleaning" - so tremendously powerful that whoever experience it will give credit to its potency.
So what is this thing about one? Put it simply, it is about FOCUS. I recall vividly of an encounter with one friend three years ago where during one conversation, we spoke at length about computer hacking. He shared his experience working part-time with the Interpol to detect criminal's location. Amidst his enthusiasm in sharing his remarkable experience, he managed to sandwich a piece of advice - that everythings lies in the power of focus. I nodded but did not think deep about that. Over the years when I came across the subject of mind training, it hit me that there seems to be a connection between both of them. (Leonardo da Vinci said everything is connected to everything!)
So to elaborate on focus - the power of one, inadvertently lead me into discussing about the subject of mind training. To focus when working on something means just to work on the stuff one is working on and that the mind does not wander. That is - no other thoughts other than that related to the work at present. If only we can train our mind to achieve this level of deep concentration, we can indeed be really productive in many aspects of our lives.
Notwithstanding with the fact that focus can bring profuse benefits, the amount of commitments that one shoulders may sometimes deter one from tuning into this power of one. As people grow, they almost always carry with them many responsibilities. Many things need to be accomplished within a short span of time, thus taxing their mental capacity to be able to focus on one thing at a time. More so with the fact that "the world is flat" and that information is accessible anywhere and anytime, it is thus easy to succumb to information overload. It is precisely these circumstances that call for greater mental clarity - and to effectively make the most of the power of focus!
