"Scary focus" - my words
Have you ever met people along your life journey that seem to know exactly where they are going? I have met a few. One of them is my own daughter.
In fifth grade she came home and told me that she was going to high school. Not just any high school but one on the east coast. She said that it was an awesome high school and that it was a feeder school for Yale.
I said good for you and dismissed it.
Then towards the end of her eight grade she came home and said that she was going to an interview to apply to the school that she wanted to go to. My ears perked up.
She not only got in but got a scholarship. My 14 year old baby left home and went to boarding school. God bless her.
So when she told me last spring that she was going to live in China for a year. I realized that my 16 year old was going to be in China for a year. With a focus that is on the scary focus scale 100 I have no doubt that she already has another long term goal in the plan.
At times I wish I was more focused like Stefani. I tend to focus more on short term goals vs. her long term scary focus goals. Maybe I need to learn from my own daughter?
Today's question is:
"Do you have scary focus?"
