Concentration

“The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.” ~ Jim Rohn

As soon as I saw this quote I knew it was the right one to go with this weeks Friends round Friday which features The Charmer.

The Charmer is very good at concentration so much so that he has a tendency for hyper focus. he can literally block out every distraction and just keep his mind on the task at hand until it is done or he is at least satisfied with where it is at. It is a trait that has made him very successful when it comes to business but it is one that can be challenging if you happen to be in a relationship with him.

“will call you in an hour”

*4 hours later….

“Where the fuck have to been?”

I was working I said I would call in an hour

“Yeah, that was 4 hours ago”

“Oh….”

If you share a home with such a creature you can at least go and check on them but when you are in a long distance relationship you need them to be able to shift focus and reach out. He has got better at it but also I am a fucking patient saint. Don’t believe me? Ask him, on this particular subject he will concede that I am right.

However the up side of being a relationship with such an individual is that when you are the thing they are concentrating on you really fucking know about it. They bring that same level of hyper focus to the time with you.

This picture was taken when he was tying me. I am standing in front of him and he weaving the rope round my body. This is my view as I looked down at him. I love this shot, not only because quite frankly he looks seriously hot in it but also it captures that focus. He is lost in the moment. He is lost in me, in us. So whilst it might be a pain sometimes when we are apart when we are together it is a whole different matter altogether.
