No matter what you want to call it, patterns, cycles, or habits, I believe that we are capable of achieving the change that we are seeking. When we are too inflexible for change or correction we begin to lose that part of ourselves that brings us to our higher self.
Focus can be good but when we tunnel-vision too much in our mind, we lose perspective and the importance of what is going on all around us. There is too much to miss if you focus solely on yourself. We must know our place and not be so focused on ourselves or others but to maintain a healthy balance of our connection with the world around us.
