"I am thankful for the adversities which have crossed my path and taught me tolerance, perseverance, self-control and some other virtues I might never have known." -Anonymous

"When we are faced with a problem, we seem ready, able and willing to do battle. Yet sometimes we enter the battle not being clear of the goal. The best way to ensure that we make it through the battle is to focus on the outcome, not on the war. Focus crystallizes and directs the powerful energy of the mind. Focus galvanizes the mental, emotional and physical energy to such an exact degree that our efforts cannot miss the mark. When we focus on the goal and not the obstacles that can and do come about, we ensure victory. We should not spend our energy worrying about what the "enemy" might be doing. Like the mighty Ashanti, if we focus our thoughts, take our steps with confidence and move forward, we may stumble but we cannot fall. Focus gives the elk its grace. Focus gives the gazelle its speed. Focus gave the Ashanti strength and a tradition as undefeated warriors."

-Iyanla Vanzant, "Acts of Faith"

In my experience, people and events come along everytime you are trying to remain focused. Some people just never shut up, their wasted breaths full of unnecessary rambling...

We can't make other people keep their mouths to themselves, but we can find solitude if we search for it. In solitude, we find and center our focus. In communing with Nature, our focus is grounded and cannot be destroyed.

Don't allow other people to control your thoughts and, in essence, dominate your world. Take the wheel and make your life beautiful :) Follow the way of the Ashanti warriors and march through the battles of your life...What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger :)

"I remain focused on the goal, even in the midst of battle." -Affirmation
