持续专注(之一)

Sep 26, 2023

我只专注一件事……我们中间成熟的基督徒都应该有这样的看法。(腓立比书3:13,15)

当你有选择性地做事,就会有效率。分心是人的本性。我们就像陀螺一样,疯狂地旋转,但哪里都去不了。没有明确的目标,你就会不断地改变方向、工作、关系、教会等等,希望每一次的改变能够解决困惑,或能够填补心灵的空虚。你心想:“这次会有所不同了。”然而,这解决不了你真正的问题——缺乏专注。专注的力量可以从光的能量中看得出。把一个放大镜放在阳光下,能够使纸燃烧。当光聚焦成为激光时,它能切穿钢铁。没有什么比专注的生活更有力量了,最专注的人能够创造出与众不同的生活,正如使徒保罗所说:“我只专注一件事。”(腓立比书3:13)保罗的激情在于使人认识基督。因此,如果你希望自己的生命带来影响力,就要专注在这件事上!停止浅尝辄止,停止大包大揽。少做一些,甚至转离好的活动,只致力于最重要的。永远不要混淆活动和生产率。诗人威廉·马修斯(William Matthews)写道:“一种天分得到全面、深刻的发展,更胜于一百种浅薄的才能。在当今,诸多事物喧嚣着求关注时,成功的第一法则却是专注。集中精力在一个目标上,然后朝着这个目标直行,不可朝右或朝左看。”专注是容易或自然的事情吗?不,专注是一种必须每天都操练的纪律。
