Power of Focus
Now Harvard researchers offer us evidence of something called "innattentional blindness." This happens when our attention is so fixed on something that we fail to notice whatever else is going on right in front of us.
In their study, test subjects watched videos of six people
passing a basketball back and forth. They were told to count the number of passes.
Afterwards they were asked if they'd noticed anything unusual. Overall, about half the observers failed to
notice a short woman in a black gorilla costume walking through the action.
Really.
So the researchers tested a new group of observers and this time the gorilla stopped, faced the camera (and the observers) and thumped its chest before moving on.
Guess what? Same results! Only half noticed the gorilla again.
So how about this:
If your focus, faith, and feeling aren't aimed toward what you desire to be, do, or have but if you are instead focusing on other things, the very thing you deeply desire to be, do or have could be staring you in the face right now -- and even waving its arms and thumping its chest -- and you've got only about a 50% chance of even noticing it's there.
The power of focus is awesome.
