Focus, Focus, Focus!
by Gary Ryan Blair 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! It's the equivalent of Moby Dick in a goldfish
bowl… just too powerful to ignore!
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: goal power. 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. There is a seismic shift in performance that takes
place when you move from decisiveness to focus. The shift is caused,
enhanced, and accelerated by the intensity of your focus!
Focus is like plugging into a power source all its own. If there are
two goal-setting 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 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. Goose 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 requires that you get on top of your goals like a
chicken on an egg!
Focus
requires 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 remember to Focus, Focus, Focus this week! Everything
Counts!
