The biggest obstacle to achieving, in any part of our lives, is lack of focus.
Aside from your health, your focus/attention is your most valuable asset.
What you focus on directs your energy and the choices you make and the things you do. What you focus on, determines the outcomes you get and, ultimately, the quality of your life.
So, in a world where distracting you to get your focus on THEIR news, THEIR problems, THEIR newsfeed, THEIR adverts, what THEY are focused on, ask yourself:
1. What do I want?
2. Why is this important to me?
3. What action do I need to take to get what I want?
Be mindful when identifying what you want, that it is genuinely important to you; something that you feel strongly about. Without a strong emotional connection, the chances of achieving the outcome are minimised as it remains difficult to stay focused in the long-term. Be honest with yourself about what you really want.
