You know, that's really a good point! What you focus on determines what you miss. That's why it bothers me a little when people narrow the focus of their intention down to a specific, little tiny possibility, and prevent themselves from hitting a broader, richer possibility that they are eliminating by being so focused on specifics. I think people also miss the mark when they focus on material manifestation of a deeper desire, rather than taking the time to determine the quality or condition that they would have in their life if they had that *thing* and which the thing is only a meager signpost.

Tell your friend I think he's brilliant!
