FOCUS IS PARAMOUNT!
Focus is the glue that holds a goal in place… an insurance
policy on your journey to success. If you've got a great
goal or idea but not focus, you really don't have much!
What exactly is focus?
Focus is simply a goal, a picture in your mind's eye of
something you want.
Your focus is usually spelled in CAPITAL LETTERS!
A successful focus is based on the concept of singularity.
Your goal must create in your mind both the perception and
reality of
importance. The most important aspect of focus is
single-mindedness.
Because everything you do moves you closer to or further
from your goal, focus cannot be considered in isolation. If
everything you think, say, and do moves you toward your
goal, then everything requires focus!
Focus creates a powerful force.
The moment you focus on a goal, your goal becomes a magnet,
pulling you and your resources toward it. The more focused
your energies, the more power you generate.
Focus is like plugging into a power source all its own. If
there are two
elements that should be joined at the hip, no better pair
exists than
decision and focus. They feed off each other.
Decision makes focus possible, and focus makes decision
easier. Success offers living proof that decision and focus
make for a lovely couple.
The moment you energize a goal with focus it will be as if
the train you're riding instantly switches to a new set of
tracks going in exactly the right direction at high rate of
speed.
We're all vulnerable—it is easy to lose focus. Accept the
fact that you must repeatedly recover your focus. A brief
loss of focus is a minor derailment, but, if not regained
rapidly, loss of focus becomes a wholesale wreck.
Focus, readjust, and realign. Every opportunity competes
for time and focus.
Resist temptation. You can't do everything, but you can do
one thing, now, and stay with it until completion.
Once you begin to focus, it's like telling the world,
“Watch out… here I come!”
Focus signals the coming out of your goal.
Guard your focus jealously. Determine not to be distracted.
Without focus, you lose your way… enthusiasm disappears…
goals become faded aspirations. Energize your focus
everyday through constant care, feeding, and attention.
You will receive no sympathy in the marketplace for loss of
focus. The feeding frenzy will begin the moment you allow
your focus to wane. You put a bounty on your head every
time you lose focus.
Focus is a priority, a necessity, and an absolute; it
practically guarantees a front-row seat to prosperity.
The power of focus lies in its ability to inspire
purposeful action, so
this week Focus, Focus, Focus!
You are because you dream. Dare to Dream!
