This is from Bob Proctor six minutes to success:

Do you know, it’s been said that all of nature’s creatures respond to outside stimuli. Now

let’s think about that for a moment. Your brain has a zillion cells. And as we hear, see,

smell, taste, touch things, like that (Bob snaps his fingers), cells in our brain are

activated. I’ll give you an example. Think of your refrigerator. Do you see the way the

picture comes to mind? I use words, you heard me when I told you the picture. Think of

your automobile. Like that (Bob snaps his fingers), a picture comes onto the screen of

our mind.

Well do you know, one of the great secrets of success is focus—really focusing. When

you focus, you shut out everything. Focus is done with an exercise of the will. You have

perception, the will, reason, imagination,memory, intuition—these are all higher

faculties. They’re what separate us from all the rest of the animal kingdom. The will gives

you the ability to focus and block out all the outside stimuli.

Now I want you to think if you’re not focused the mental trips you take every day, the

mind trips. We go off here, we go off there, someone says something, it takes us way off

track. We may never get back on the track we were on. And we become a plaything

for what’s going on around us. All our sensory factors are wired to our brain, and as we

hear, see, smell and touch things, they trigger cells in our brain. Images fly on the screen

of our minds.

Think of your kitchen. Think of a loved one. Think of your work. See how fast this

happens? Now when we’re focused on something, we seem to block all of this out—

and we can bring all our energy to bear on one idea. Practice it. Say, “I’m not going to

take any thought trips for the next hour” and really focus on what you’re doing. I

guarantee you, you’re going to become many times more powerful. Do you know that

that’s what separates the winners from the losers? The winner focuses, the losers are like

corks in the ocean. Their environment just moves them all over the place. Don’t take

the mind trips. Focus. Spend four or five minutes thinking of that. This is Bob Proctor and

thank you.

This is an extremely powerfully written passage. Wow mind-blowing. My focus hadn't been quite up to par lately, something I'll write about later on, and this passage was a personal catalyst for me. Thx
