Looking at the Basics on a Monday
Looking at the photograph above at first glance you would note that the focus is on the palm tree in the middle of the photo.
I’ve been playing around a lot with my new toy Romeo my DSLR. Trying out the various functions on the camera and seeing how best to edit the photo after it has been captured. For this shot I had decided to remove the color and focus on the basics to look at the core of what I wanted to focus on.
I feel that this is the approach that I should take with my life too. Many a times we are distracted by the colourful fanfare that is happening around us that we may loose focus or get sidetracked in the process. It is important for me to constantly remind myself what my original focus is and to flush aside all the other thoughts/ideas that come wandering into my mind so that I can fully concentrate. To focus on what is of the utmost importance to me so that I will be able to get that task dealt with immediately. Only with that out of the way will I be able to concentrate on the other side interest/activities which I have to attend to.
Do you feel the same way too?
This week I am sharing music by Jolin Tsai. She is one of the top female pop artist in Taiwan.

this is a very inspiring post.
i have also taken into a lot of activities lately but i should really constantly remind myself that for now, my focus is my kids’ well-bring… they are still on their formative years.
thanks.

Oh yes the power of focus! But… It’s not always easy when a hundred n 1 things are trying to get your attention..

It’s easy to loose focus, I so agree and it’s a constant battle to keep my own attention centered. This is why I have to create to-do lists to force myself to stay on track. Very thoughtful post and I loved listening to your Monday’s Music Moves Me freebie choice!

I’ve been having trouble focusing lately – great advice! And I love the song, too! 🙂

Very interesting photo.
I agree with you about focus. I always try to remind myself to be contented or change, but do not get pulled in a maypole direction!
Nice video!
Have a relaxing week!

I’m a Gemini and we start a million things and never finish any of them. HELLO! That’s me for sure. I have a short attention span sometimes and it drives my husband wild. I could be telling him about what happened at the store, and remember something else & in the middle of a sentence start talking about something else & never really know I’m doing it. Love that you’re learning your camera too. I gotta do that with mine. I only had it for a year now. LOL Love Love Love the song and the singer and the video is amazing. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming. I’m going to have to learn your language or something. These songs are great.

I love it! The best part about blog hops if finding amazing new spaces and incredible music! What an awesome video. I want a Cinderella carriage like THAT one. Even though I have no idea what she was saying, I loved it! That makes me laugh. 😀

I totally agree. It seems like in our world today we are constantly bombarded by requests for our attention. It is at the same time both difficult and vital to remain able to focus on what is important. Sometimes I think focus is a lost art. So is doing nothing. We must constantly be engaged. We’ve lost the ability to just “be.”
