Focusing On Your Goal

When I was much younger, during the holidays when we travelled home, we normally engaged in bush-meat hunting. One thing I discovered about hunting bush-meat in their holes is that you have to be strategic and well focused. They normally live in holes with two exits. So we normally blocked one exit and positioned ourselves in just one exit. Then we would smoke the hole so that they would run out. When they run out, if you try to pursue all of them at ones, you will end up missing all of them and you will have nothing. So what we normally did was to concentrate on just one and our chances of catching that one will be amplified. This scenario made me to realize the importance of maintaining one's focus in order to achieve one's dreams. What a great lesson.

To achieve your goal in life, you need to maintain your focus and remove your eyes from everything that will act as a distraction to you. Imagine a driver driving forward to his destination but constantly looking back to things that are not worthwhile, it will not only delay his arrival time but may distract him from arriving at his destination. This is why, when you create your dream, you should give it all it takes and stay on course towards its actualization. More so, for dreams to be actualized, it is important to know that your commitment is required and you need a high level of discipline to be able to maintain your course.

It is true that when you are on course towards the fulfilment of your dreams, many things will arise to pose as distractions to you, but how you respond to such things will determine if they will end up distracting you or if they will act as motivation to you. For example, when two teams are playing football, just like the Champions League finals that was held a few days ago, the fans would definitely be cheering at incredibly loud tones. If you allow yourself to be distracted by the cheering of the crowd, you will lose sight of the ultimate course - the Champions League trophy. However, you can use their cheering as a form of motivation (not distraction) to achieve your course.

More often than not, what distracts someone the most is within their own immediate environment, like peer pressure. There are many people that have lost focus from their dreams, not because their dreams were not potent enough but because they gave in to peer pressure and were distracted by them. You should understand that you and your friends have dissimilar goals in life, so you should not allow their own to make you lose focus of you own. The truth it that it is possible for all of you to shine without making anyone lose focus of their own goals. So do not allow anyone's standards or opinion to sway you off the feet from following after your dreams.

Most times, the most intense distractions normally come when you are almost getting closer to hitting your target or your goal. But if you refuse to allow the distraction to have a place in you, you will not fall victim of it. The truth is that, it may not come as "distraction" but may carry the facade of something appealing. However, you need to keep your eyes and your attention on your goals so that you will not fall for any form of distraction. Remember, you need a strong knowledge of where you are going to before you will be able to arrive at your destination, otherwise everywhere will look like it and you may end up not arriving at your desired destination.
