Former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson told his football team: “If I laid a two-by four plank across the room, everybody there would walk across it and not fall, because our focus would be on that two-by-four. But if I put that same two-by-four plank 10 stories high between two buildings only a few would make it, because the focus would be on failing. Focus is everything. The team that is more focused today is the team that will win this game.”
Focus is something the Bible directs every believer to do.
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
You can do it if you stay focused. Give it some thought.
