The Power of Focus

It is easy to underestimate the power of focus, but when you learn how to harness it, you will find there is no limit to its power! Focus is the ability to direct your attention and energy in a specific area for greater effect. A good example of this is psi (pounds per square inch). 

If you take 100 pounds and spread it out, you only have 1 psi. However, if you were to focus that 100 pounds into a single inch you get 100 psi. If you were able to focus that same amount into 1-1000th of an inch you would have 100,000psi. The more precise the focus area, the more effective power you have!

So how does this apply to intent work? As individuals we all have our own PSI (Personal Strength Index) and when we learn how to focus our energy and awareness more precisely, we can effectively multiply our personal power! Most people get poor results with their intent work because they are unable to focus clearly or they lack personal power (usually both). The reason I am focusing on focus is that it is the easier of the two to improve.

PSI Formula

The PSI model I use is an adaptation of Effective Force = (Mass x Acceleration)/Area of effect. It would look more like this: PSI = (Inner Power x Intent)/Focus. To develop your PSI, you will need to improve all areas of the formula (as well as other PSI enhancing techniques). It is fine to start anywhere, but you will get the most immediate results from gaining the ability to focus.

Better Focus

In order to clarify how to focus better, I will give a few examples that you can use immediately in your life. A good example is making decisions quickly. This can be a difficult skill to learn, but when you understand the trick of it, it becomes quite simple. The quickest decisions can be reached if you only consider 1 point of view or one idea or even one feeling. 

To clarify further, the most effective way to make good, quick decisions is to ask yourself, "What would I do?" or "What would I do if I knew what to do?"  These questions have the hidden ability to clear away, other peoples thoughts, feelings and intents that may be interfering with your decision making process, create greater clarity and focus. This also leads to less confusion , greater confidence and a strong sense of purpose!

Clarifying Intent

The basics of creating a good intent are covered initially by clarifying your focus. After knowing what you want, then you need to address any inner objections or obstacles that may be preventing you from manifesting your intent. If you clarified your focus good enough, there should be none of those anyway, but if there are any major ones, they must be harmonized with your primary intent. If not, they can diffuse your focus and even sometimes be working directly against your intent.

The key here is to focus on the solutions to the counter-intent, not the counter -intent itself. When you find ways to harmonize the counter-intent, its power merges with your primary intent creating clarity and increased power and effectiveness. It is your power, so use it as you see fit.

Developing Inner Power

The development of inner power can be done in so many different ways that it is impossible to cover them all. However, it is possible to discover the essence of inner power and how the different methods increase it. To start with, you have unlimited power, lack of power is an illusion, created by the mind and you can decide how much power you have. Try it and see. The one thing that all methods have in common is that they allow you to see more of your power clearly, so that you learn about the power you already have.

It's like having an unlimited bank account and thinking you only have 20 dollars in it. the truth is you have as much money as you want. No more, no less. The same goes for personal power. You may be surprised by how much power you really have. When you begin using that potential power, it becomes a kinetic force for creation in the world. Embracing your power allows you to create bigger and better things.

In Conclusion

No matter where you start, this formula will help you to increase your PSI. The more PSI you have the more effective you will be in your daily life. It takes power, clarity and focus to create the best in life, so do yourself a favor (and your family and friends), start today!
