The Magical Key for achieving your goals and becoming a better you
How focused are you?
The ability to stay concentrated on a goal or purpose is called focus. Whether as a student, worker, business owner or athlete, focus is an important ingredient to success. At some point in our lives, we would have made a list of to do things we want to achieve, either long term or short term. It could be a list of books to study for an exam, or, a list of steps to take to get something done. Whatever it is, it becomes a goal, a thing of focus.
Staying focused has a way of heightening abilities, and making you better at it. The enemy of focus is distraction. Once a target has been defined and goals set, whatever takes you off track is distraction and should be eliminated. Focus usually leads to some form of elimination and substitution. At the point of focus, you eliminate certain distractions and substitute them with meaningful and productive activities.
What are you dedicated to? What’s your passion? How determined are you to make it work? And the most important question of all, how focused are you?
It’s a fallacy to think focus comes naturally to everyone, it doesn’t. It’s an ability that has to be cultivated and nurtured. It takes discipline to be focused and remain focused.
Athlete and speaker, David DeNotaris once said “our focus is our future and what we focus on will multiply in our lives”
Surely, once you find your goal and focus on it, it blossoms to something totally worth the effort.
