It’s All in the Focus
May 23rd, 2008
It’s funny how once you focus on something, whether it’s a new car you’re considering or an unfamiliar phrase, that you suddenly see or hear it everywhere. In reality, the car or the phrase have been out there. What changed was that they just came within your radar.
This happened to me after learning about Mixed Martial Arts, also known as MMA. I was blissfully unaware of this combat sport (just the word "combat" conjures up images of dead bodies for me) until students taught me a little about it. They introduced me to TapouT clothing, and assured me that there was even an entire television series devoted to MMA called Tapout.
Now I’m seeing MMA this and MMA that everywhere I turn. I watch one television program that is only in reruns now and exclusively on a male-oriented channel. Now I’m understanding some of the commercials I’m forced to watch. And I’m wondering how I missed MMA before now? It’s so, well…in your face!
