Do You See Why You Fail?

Written By Deborah Okorie

 My Saturday class was to start at about 1 pm. Before I left the house my phone was already down so I planned on sitting close to the window where a charging spot was located. I left the house earlier enough so I will be able to sit where I want.

On getting to the venue, we were told to hold on for the ongoing class to finish. I sat close to the door so I could get into the class on time.

Finally, the ongoing class ended, but unfortunately, people were already much as everyone wanted to enter at the same time.

But I noticed something, people were pushing themselves. So, I waited and by the time I got into the class, a good number of people were already inside. Some were looking for a good position to sit but I went straight to the spot that I have already visualize, plugged my charger, and sat down. I noticed that one other guy joined immediately and sat then plugged his phone. Two of us started laughing because he too had the same thing in mind.

Now see what I'm driving at:

I had something I was focusing on. I had already planned that when I get to class I will plug my phone. I didn't just plan it but every of my attention and mind was all working towards that goal.

Even when I had a delay, it didn't distract me from what I had already planned to do.

Even when others that got in before me were still looking for a good portion to sit, I just went straight to where I already had in mind so it was easier for me to finally plug my phone into a power source.

The same thing with the guy, he already had it in mind to plug his phone before even coming to the venue.

So you see the power of having a focus.

Don't do something because everyone is doing it, have a focus.

There is a difference between having a focus and not being clear.

You can have a focus and at the same time not clear on how to achieve it, that is where self-development comes.

When you have a long-term goal, it will help you not to give up no matter what.

Focus your mind on the impact you want to make in people's life.

Focus your mind on the smile that will be on someone's face even though you're yet to figure out the method.

Focus your mind on the lives you will transform even though you're not clear on the angle you want to transform.

But when you focus your mind on the money, when the money is not forthcoming you will get frustrated and properly give up.

If you focus on becoming famous, you will give up when there are no results.

Do You See Why You Fail?

Because of what your focus was on!

If you want to win in life, put others first. This is simply because the quest to impact others will make you win and eventually successful.

Stay focus
