The Main Focus

Listen to "The Main Focus" on Spreaker. There is no struggle like trying to keep your eyes off the latest headlines. A billion different paths headed in every direction. A popular vote being the main candidate for the new alignment of the stars. Entering our sixth week of social distancing and the armchair quarterback sideline opinions are brutally using the power of inflection to convince those playing by the rules how wrong it is to take uncertainty and trust its invisible ability. On this podcast I flat out ask why is it we think we're God? Five weeks of this is enough. Everybody wipe the dirt off your knees lets get moving! I just responded to a preacher who had reached out to me. He wanted to know how things are. I'm not shy from speaking the awareness of now. The most uncertain part of this unwritten chapter is in the next few weeks. The armchair quarterbacks have their systems of needing comfort and security and getting back to work is that one and only way. I get it. I lost every job. What we have failed to remember in this time of methods being challenged and personal journeys always under attack by those that know best... Pause. Breathe. You ready? February 2020 the reports showed an amazingly high number of employees on the Corporate American front that hated their jobs and were choosing new careers. They hated their bosses and couldn't handle the hardcore hours of expected workloads. So... its only two months later and its time to get back to the show? If you think the pressure was on you in February 2020 wait until you get back in those four walls and face a company needing to survive. You're gonna hear the same speeches of how you are valuable and you are needed more today than any other time. But you aren't conditioned for that critical adventure yet. You've had six weeks to get your mind body and soul refocused on the main character. You. I honestly can't wait to get back to work. What I don't want to see is the workload that's going to be so heavy for us that its gonna generate another fear in life. You're going to leave. Sure right now, decision makers and company owners are equally involved in this journey. The moment those doors open it's game time. What is your main focus? I didn't ask about your bosses main focus is. I asked you. Your boss is gonna look like Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. Dodging every bullet and bomb all in the name of winning this war. Do you ever truly go back to those scenes in the movie and study the entire picture. The main focus isn't Tom Hanks surviving but look at the entire process. The people falling next to Tom Hanks. Where is your main focus as we grow forward. Is it about comfort and security, the need to feel like you belong or a wishful thought of damn it lets go back to where you had better control during the social distancing days? You've got to face your truth. Grab a journal and begin a process of listening to yourself. Locate your main focus and decide who should get credit for the time and energy required to reboot America.
