today we are gonna focus on focus isn’t
this a word that we have heard before
focus focus is something which we have
been spoken to spoken about actually hid
right from the child that time that we
were a child they told us focus you have
to get focus you have to get focused and
then remember I told you that you didn’t
focus a few of us remember that right
yes or no few of us also may have
started hitting others with focus focus
how many times have I to tell you that
you need to focus focus but there’s
something interesting about the word
focus it actually means nothing have you
get good marks no you know why because
you lack focus it’s a good thing to be
hit with it arts it’s a good thing to
hit with because it hurts both ways but
it does nothing focus is one unknown a
one large thing which is ominous which
is dangerous which anybody can diagnose
you don’t need to know much before
telling anyone that you don’t have focus
it doesn’t need diagnosis it just needs
the ability to have a passion in your
eye and act concerned be focused today
we will try and do a deconstruct of the
focus and see what actually is focus
so consider focus is something about the
future the future so focus on something
now it just so happens that that focus
that we are going to do on that future
is the future
seen as today so today I see something
and then I decide to focus on that and
guess what everything that I must do
should be in line with that focus which
is a future that I see today in fact if
I am focused enough then I will actually
choose the shortest path to it so I can
see it and I know the shortest path to
it I’m not looking left I’m not looking
right I’m just focused focused I’m not
looking left I’m not looking right I’m
just focused I know what I need to do I
know it and I also know what I don’t
need to do so I don’t do it don’t
disturb me I’m focused I know what
should be done I’m focused I know what’s
to be done people have told me what I
need to do to reach they’re focused I
have already made choices because of my
focus I don’t do other things which are
not in sync that my focus
jester’s of focus the heart they’re
sharp and they are never with the
tightening of the jaw and you go focus
and then you also say I have the killing
spirit he’s the he’s got the killer
instinct focus the tightening of the jaw
is there the body step there is a war to
be won that is the kind of gestures
those are the kind of gestures we use
when we are talking of focus and then
thankfully welcome to the real world the
real world the real world is like this
it’s large its diverse it has got
elements which we didn’t even know
existed and guess what even as we are
growing this diverse rich world is
showing up elements that we never knew
existed it is telling us about thoughts
and feelings that we knew existed but
didn’t know that it exists it is a world
which is beyond focus it is that al
sating play of that new world where what
we had thought of some years back has
gotten altered the jobs have changed
what is required of me has changed in
fact sometimes we call it the shifting
goalposts we object to it at times but
you know what life doesn’t care life is
pulsating life is ongoingly changing so
that which you had focused on
has gone something else is coming this
way but I am not equipped for that
because I had focus on that I may have
learned something about it but I didn’t
care because I was not interested I was
only interested in that and that very
goalpost that I had focused on has now
shifted and that is why what we want to
choose is a journey of not what but why
it’s a journey in which we ask ourselves
why is it that we want to do why is it
that we want to wake up why is it that
we want to study why is it that we want
to grow up why why why and if you notice
as we intrigue and go into those series
of whys that is when we get a life a
life which is determined by are why we
want to live it if we look at the most
amazing leaders they are driven by a
high the most amazing people that I have
experienced are people who are driven by
why they live their life because the
what is defined it comes into some
category a few years back when I started
off being an actor acting was not a
profession it is something that you
watched or some people did when they
fail it but when that why of being an
actor being a communicator became larger
then I started off on that journey of
being an actor but what actor I was yet
to discover I was yet to discover that
amazing thing which even though it
sounds large
is actually accessible to each one of us
it is purpose sometimes we get inundated
and scared by what his purpose
when will I realize what his purpose and
I have found out a very interesting way
I tried it on myself then I shared with
others others to find that it works it
is actually asking yourself what brings
a smile to your face when you ask
yourself what brings a smile to your
face you will think of so many things we
don’t seem to fall into a bracket of
focus of achievement of what that a
purpose is something in which allows us
to be in the zone assume that I want to
do something which is different
something which I get inspired by which
ia I love to inspire others with
consider as I started off being an actor
I knew that I wanted to act but I also
didn’t have work so how does an actor
how does an actor act if he doesn’t that
work being in the zone was a was an area
that here was an actor who did not have
work but still was an actor so even if I
ate even if I walked even if I talked to
somebody it was an actor who was talking
a person who was in the zone a zone of
communication a few years later I
started getting the first of my jobs in
Hindi in films I started making money
and at that point something another
interesting thing happened being in that
zone I started breaking myself earlier
it was just Hindi films and then I said
why just Hindi films you’re an actor you
are a communicator and you can also work
in other languages so soon can other
languages followed being
in the zone allowed me to choose freely
from the options that the universe was
providing to me I allowed myself to be
touched by the journey it was not just
what I had learned and what I knew but
the ability to be touched by new
experiences new thoughts new ideas new
learnings new experiences and while
being touched by that journey allowing
yourself to be touched by human beings
who are doing far greater than what we
ever imagined that we could being
touched by the journey is one of the
most inspiring space that I being an
actor maybe inspired by an entrepreneur
maybe inspired by a by a dancer maybe
inspired by a scientist because what I
am looking for is not the result that
that person has got it’s not an
aspiration but it is the inspiration of
the life that each one of us has led
being touched by the journey is for me
celebrating that life even during not
just waiting to reach that so-called
promised land when I am touched by the
journey
I am truly in service of life I’m not
waiting for life to happen life is
happening not just where I stand but
also in the lives of others when I have
a purpose my life is not just about
myself but also about what can I do such
that I can be in service of others
service of life itself and when we are
in that service of life itself an
amazing magic happens in fact each time
we move out of the strict the pinpointed
when we move into a
zone of the nebulous batters when magic
happens because logic is always beaten
by a magic and that is when we get a
fellowship of Co travelers Co travelers
who have got different aspirations
different dreams different likes
different dislikes but they’re each one
of us is conjoined in making a unique
life out of ours that for me is when we
actually get to widen that universe that
universe which otherwise just looked
like one job is now suddenly a world of
possibilities a world of possibilities
where we are consistently ready to be
surprised
ah I didn’t know this existed we are
consistently ready to be shocked oh gosh
got to see this increasingly ready to
experiment and redefine ourselves now
just look at the gestures when we talk
of purpose earlier it was now it is more
in the zone of this it is welcoming it
is soft it is warm it is loving it is
caring a whole lot to do with life there
is no hardening of the jaw there is no
killer instinct there is an instinct in
each one of us to try and nurture
everything is there not to get more out
of it it is a bit like what do we want
to do with the minerals on earth do we
want to extract the maximum or do we
want to do something so amazing that we
can leave the world as a better place
for the generation next it is making
more out of life than just the pin
pointed remember the pinpointed the
focused imagine even as we are going
through the pin pointed we had drink
we were not allowing the rich
experiences to touch us in a purposeful
life as we are walking we are enjoying
this journey and learning in this
journey we are being invited by a
context it is just not that that content
it is the context so you learning
English can learn something from
somebody who’s speaking Mandarin just in
terms of that person’s ability to
communicate you learning from people who
look different from you who got
different talents from you we have a
capacity to be invited by a context of
learning which is just not to do with
our syllabus for me at that point the
path is no longer a tedium you know be
working very warm weather when we are
working down south there are 44 Celsius
sometimes even 45 celcius maybe they say
but it’s not a tedium you know why
because that journey is able to power
moments like this when I am with amazing
minds it’s powering that amazing time
that I get to spend with my child and my
friends and my family
in fact those tedious times are in
creation of an amazing firm it’s a few
of you will like and say we loved it
nurturing the hidden amazing is what
happens when we go to words when we
actually go towards a life of purpose we
discover the amazing not just in
ourselves but in others and then we have
the ability to nurture that amazing in
them when we nurture the amazing in
others that is when we have start
celebrating this life while living it
not saying that ah I could have
celebrated it years back for me when I
say celebrating this life while living
it what I mean is
breathing life into life for too long we
have rejected everything that is here
and now because we wanted to be
somewhere else when we live a life which
is fulfilling we are honoring this
moment for what it is giving us and as
we do that we’re open to possibilities
which honors this life life that not
only I live but also the life that is
lived by this thank you very much
