John Carver Show - Unbelievable Focus

I cannot get over the intensity of some people to stay focused for years and decades until they reach what they’re striving for in life.
“Be on guard. The road widens, and many of the detours are seductive.” ? David Foster Wallace
“Knowing the Techniques of Survival........
Life has a way of knocking you off balance and even knocking you down from time to time.
There’s many verses, in the Bible, that talk about focus.  
Psalm 42:1-2 - “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?”  
Can you hear the desperation on the writers words?
Psalm 63:1-4The Message (MSG)
A David Psalm, When He Was out in the Judean Wilderness
63 God—you’re my God!
    I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
    traveling across dry and weary deserts.
2-4 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
    drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
    My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
    My arms wave like banners of praise to you.
Desperation, many times, causes intense focus!
Washington Post (Feb 2014) - Earlier this week, fishermen near the Marshall Islands in the western Pacific found 37-year-old Jose Salvador Alvarenga adrift in a 23-foot fiberglass boat. Alvarenga had a fantastic story: He'd been lost at sea for 13 months, after setting off for a day of shark fishing near the Mexican coast where he lives, 5,500 miles away. Some have expressed skepticism about his story, but he would have been far from the first to endure such seemingly unendurable odds.
