book CRITICAL CHOICES THAT CHANGE LIVES.

“A page of history is worth a volume of logic.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes

As I studied and re-studied each story, I realized that a pattern was developing.  Certain principles began to pop out, which consistently led to victory.  I did not make up these principles.  I merely stumbled upon them.  They have always existed.  I have just collected them into one book and organized them in a logical fashion.

I realized that those who survived and prospered in the midst of adversity could see and hear things around them that others could not.  That’s what made them heroes.  What gave them the ability to see and hear opportunities that no one else could see and hear?  The secret is how heroes answer these three critical questions.  (1) What are you focusing on?  (2) What do you believe? and (3) What are you expecting?

Those who prosper in the midst of extremely difficult situations are able to see options that others can’t because they choose to answer these three questions differently than most.  That’s what makes them heroes.  In this book, you will discover the critical choices heroes make when answering these three questions.

In reading these stories, I hope you will begin to see the same patterns I saw.  These patterns demonstrate what I call The Seven Laws of Critical Focus.  The Seven Laws of Critical Focus are my attempt to explain why a few rare people are able to survive and prosper in the midst of adversity while others do not.  Here are The Seven Laws of Critical Focus:

(1)   Our most recent experiences influence what we focus on;

(2)   What we focus on determines what we believe;

(3)   What we believe determines what we expect;

(4)   We tend to see what we’re expecting to see;

(5)   We tend to filter out what we’re not expecting to see;

(6)   The more we see, the more options that are available to us;

(7)   We have the power to choose what to focus on no matter what is going on in the world around us.

The Seven Laws of Critical Focus are natural laws that govern how you see life, what you expect from life and how you respond to life.  It is my hope that once you understand how the Seven Laws of Critical Focus work, your eyes will be opened and you will see and hear opportunities you never have before; that you will see new solutions to old problems; that you will see alternative paths where others see only dead ends; that you will see the blind spots in your life that are holding you back; that you will see the bigger purpose behind what you are doing.  In short, I hope that you will be able to see through the eyes of heroes.

In each of our lives, there is usually a decision behind the decision we are about to make.  I call this the decision behind the decision.  Sometimes there are several decisions behind the decision we are about to make.  Some of these “behind the scenes” decisions we make subconsciously without even knowing it.  This is an invitation to look deeper:  to peel back the layers of the onion and get at the core of the issue.
