What is Focus?

It drains our energy and attitude. It negatively impacts our health, our work, our well-being, and our families. The illness is sneaky and unsuspecting. Millions suffer from it, yet it is not publicly recognized as a disease by doctors. If left unchecked, it can steal many years, sometimes decades, from one’s life. The disease?

Our inability to focus on what matters most.

This silent killer is similar to the fable of the frog in the pot. Recall that the frog happily sits in a pot of water, unaware of the slowly rising temperature. The premise is that if the frog is dropped into boiling water, it will immediately sense the danger and jump out. But if the water is at room temperature and slowly brought to a boil, the frog will not perceive the danger until it is too late.

Our goal is to ensure that we don’t end up like the frog. Our goal is to leap out of the boiling water—immediately—and never look back.
