Focus On What Ifa Says, Not What You See

Iwori focus on what you are doing  
If you have been initiated you should initiate your memory  
Iwori focus on what you are doing 
Awo do not use a weak rope to climb the palm tree
Iwori focus on what you are doing
Awo do not swim without prior knowledge of swimming
Iwori focus on what you are doing
Awo do not because of anger draw a weapon 
Iwori focus on what you are doing
Awo do not marry another Awo's wife
Iwori focus on what you are doing
​- Holy Odu IworiIrete

Where you look will determine what you see. If you only focus on problems you will overlook solutions. If you only focus on faults you will overlook virtues. Likewise, if you only focus on the significance of your successes you will overlook the impact of your failures. If you only focus on your enemies' weaknesses you will underestimate their strengths. And so it is essential to master the art of focus. Focus turns into concentration, which turns into meditation. When you learn to truly meditate upon something, you will transcend the perceived separation that prevents you from experiencing internal unification and wholeness. This is one of the secrets of healing, learning and overcoming things like fear. It all begins with focus. Live the Medicine.
