Total Focus - The only way for massive success
Focus means absolute concentration on your goal. Remember, your fate is determined by your thoughts. I am not referring to only thinking about what you would like to see happen, I am referring to making it happen. Hewlett Packard has a TV commercial at the moment that approximately says: "Thinkers are great, but Doers make things happen". What if you think you've been trying to make something happen for a while and it hasn't happened yet. IF this is the case, you have to reexamine your goal and objectives.
You can't get there if you don't know where you want to go. If you don't plan, you can't envision the steps necessary to succeed. If you don't write down the necessary steps to accomplish your goal, then your path will be nebulous. If you write down the steps, as will be suggested in my next post on Prioritization, and you identify the obstacles and solutions to those obstacles, then you can arrive at your desired goal. Remember; one of the definitions of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result".
If you find yourself at times dealing with overload, I recommend that you learn to meditate. This is very easy to do. It just requires your sitting comfortably in a chair with the lights turned off. Cross your legs, cross your hands and place them over your stomach, keep your eyes closes, place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, breathe deeply through your nose. Use a count of eight and four, breathing in for eight counts and out for four counts. If you like, you can say the word "OM" and it will resonate through your nose and skull. Do this for 22 minutes. If thoughts and ideas pass through your brain, just let them drift by. Let them come and go. You will find yourself just going deeper and deeper. At a certain point, you will begin to come out of this state. For many people, it seems to average 22 minutes. You will fell very relaxed and refreshed. Best of all, you will now be able to go back to your creativity, problem solving, and concentration to accomplish your goal.
Make sure you do the exercise described in the next post on Prioritization and make sure you continually review this post and the Prioritization post. Print it our and tack it on the wall near your computer. Look at it daily till it becomes part of your life.
Best Wishes
