Where's Your Focus?

“When you focus on the needs of others, God will prompt others to focus on your needs.”

That’s something that the speaker at my church retreat said and that I wrote down. I had intended on making a post about it eventually. Well I guess eventually has come...I was scrolling through the notes on my phone looking at all the half finished blog posts and other blog topics I had saved, this one stuck out. I feel like for a really long while...I’ve been really selfish, for good reason I guess. I just feel like I haven’t been motivated lately, I feel like my life’s lacking direction and that I’ve been in a real bad funk. I’ve been telling myself to really focus on my own well being and better my state of mine. So it’s funny that as I was looking through potential blog posts on my phone, I stumbled on this. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Specifically reaching out to people, checking up on people and just connecting or reconnecting with people. It’s something I’ve went back and forth about, but maybe this is a sign. For the most part, the friends that I meet up with occasionally, it’s always a good time and the conversations are always genuine and very enjoyable. Rereading what that pastor said is really hitting me, how maybe I’ve been neglecting others and been too focused on myself, to no avail lol. I feel like God's been really pushing me to reach out to certain people. And I have faith that as I focus on others, God will prompt others to focus on me.
