Narrow Focus

Now I thought that perhaps I could explain in part what it might be which drove me to that narrow focus with which I had tried to face all my life problems. For by narrowing my attention down to a point I no doubt increased my capacity to understand the small part I was actually looking at, but I also increased that dark area outside its concentrated beams, in which ideas might remain unrecognised, and therefore liable to all the fantastic distortion of blind thinking. Thus the more I turned my attention to details in order to save myself by scrupulous care from these monstrous fears of failure which lurked in the wide field, the more terrible the monsters became and the more terrible they became, the more I dared not face them, which alone would have destroyed their power.
