Focus By Discipline, Ensure Success

A reason why people those who started their career early, fail to attain their goals is that they are not able to maintain focus till the end.They make grand beginnings but their enthusiasm levels keep falling with time.As a result the efforts they put in fall short and end up unsuccessful.In the modern world marked by compounding distractions, maintaining focus seems to be impossible.However if we let ourselves carried away by distractions, we can never succeed.Valuable time and efforts that we have already invested will go down the drain.The resultant failure leaves us angry,frustrated and dejected.And failing repeatedly dents our self confidence, making us incapable of setting and working towards our targets in future.Maintaining focus requires commitment,discipline and passion for the job.

To learn to maintain focus we should first understand what leads us astray from our Goals.There are factors that test our resolve in various dimensions.By identifying them,we can prepare to deal with them and reap the benefits.One Such factor is

 

Poor Knowledge About Ourselves

Quite often we do not know what we really want and what we are working towards.We often work very hard for something we are not passionate about.Over a period,we cease to work in the direction because we are not serious about achieving the target and so the efforts seem to inundate us.

The Best Way to find out whether we really want to achieve something is to start writing how we feel about it.We can write why we love a it and how it will change our life.When we read this after sometime, the content and emotions it generates will help us to realise what the goal means to us.Whenever we feel like giving up our pursuit we should read this.it will pep up our skirts and put us back on track again.Visualising the scenes of already achieving the goals gives enhanced results.

 

INERTIA is Another Factor that influences our focus

Inertia is an attribute of human mind.When habituated to think positive, we keep thinking positive.When habituated to think negative we keep thinking negative.So when we entertain thoughts that suggest that we could lose despite our efforts or that attaining the goal would not bring us the pleasure that is worth our hard work, we will slowly loose interest and stop working for it.So we should pay attention to what we are thinking.We should practise to resist negative thought and cultivate positive thinking.

Contrary to what most of us believe,having too many options is disadvantageous and distract our focus.When there are too many options, we have to be extra careful because among them are options that seem to be right for us,give short term happiness,entice us in disguise and those that are actually suitable or us.We have to analyse each and every option deeply to make the right choice.

We read several articles on how to improve focus.However we should keep each of them in mind but implement  the one that is right for us.Whenever we are not able to take a decision, we can consider the suggestion of the one we trust the most.

Ability to maintain our focus on the specific task is essential to ensure its success.But this seems to be difficult  for most of us owing to the different reasons.Once we  carefully observe the factors that are causing us to lose our focus, we can work towards devising ways to tackle them..So start focusing on your goals and achieve success
