One of the things that keep people from succeeding is lack of focus. The power of focus can be seen when a magnifying glass is used to bring the rays of the sun together. The effect can set a piece of paper on fire. When light is focused even more as a laser beam, it can cut through steel. Focus gives your energy direction; increasing its effectiveness while lack of focus dissipates your energy. Focus helps us to remove distractions and mental clutters and concentrate with clarity.
It is part of our nature to get distracted which is why the discipline to remain focus does not come easily. It takes effort to remain focused on a particular task until it is done.
Here’s how to stay focused on things you want to achieve
Define your goals and give them deadline:
The mind does not reach towards achievement if it does not have clear objectives. Have a well- cut out goals and what steps to take to achieve them. Focus is hard when we don’t
know where we are going or what we truly want. Don’t get your hands on too many things at the same time. Success does not come from doing everything but doing something that really matters at a time. Don’t forget that for you to be effective, you have to be selective and activity is not the same as
productivity.
Keep rewards in Mind:
Don’t just set goals! You need to constantly remind yourself what achieving those goals mean to you. Build mental and physical picture of you attaining your goals and what it feels like to achieve
such goals. Doing this helps you stay encouraged and able to go through the hurdles that may show up.
Connect with people who believe in your Goals:
Surround yourself with like minds, people who probably may have achieved or are achieving what you hope to achieve. Listen to them, read their books. Always stay in touch with such people. And avoid people that sap you off the energy to pursue you goals
Stay in an environment that motivates you towards your Goal:
Where you are determines what grows in you and influences your desires and attention. Find an environment that constantly reminds you of your goals and gives you the often inspiration to reach out for it. And if you can’t find it, create it!
Disconnect from your past: The memories of yesterday’s mistakes and failures often distracts us from our goals. Constantly reminding ourselves the failures and mistakes of yesterday kills the desire for any meaningful pursuit today.
