Successful People Dedicate Their Attention to Things They Can Change...
Hi, Steemians!
It is fair to say that there are a whole lot of things that are simultaneously going on in our lives and from time to time, we have to shift our focus to better attend them.
The matter of your attention is really important when it comes to your productivity and mindset towards success.
It wouldn’t be exaggerating to claim that many people often fail because they don’t know how to shift their attention and focus on things that truly matter.
In this blog post, we will talk about the matter of your focus and its impact on your life.
I once heard something really important but it took me years to understand its significance on life.
Perhaps you would be wiser than me and actually think about this concept:
A wise person focuses on things he can change, while a foolish person focuses on things that are not in his control.
To elaborate further, you need to consider the state of life. There are many things going on in each of our lives.
Things that require our attention and care.
Things that give us responsibilities.
Things that we like, and things that we don’t!
A person who cannot effectively shift his focus between priorities is doomed to fail at life and forsake his dreams.
What you focus on determines how you spend your time; your thoughts, words, and actions all go through the filter of time and show themselves in the world as a result of your attention.
By now, you must have understood the importance of attention.
While you may focus on one thing, another thing slips out of your reach.
What a shame it would be if the thing that slips out of your hand is something really important and life changing!
So, if you want to avoid any confusions and failures in this regard, the argument presents you with a simple formula that you can always follow in every step of your life.
Whenever you have to prioritize or make a decision about your attention, ask yourself a simple question:
If I dedicate my attention to that particular task, am I going to be able to do something about it?
If you are faced with a situation that is out of your control, you should not even waste an extra second paying attention to it.
For example, people face with family drama all the time.
If that drama is something you cannot change, then you need to immediately shift your attention to something in your life that is actually within your power and grasp.
This way, you will make sure that you are not losing out on anything important.
Prioritizing is a subtle art that needs to be learned through practice and experience.
Many people fail at first and dedicate their attention to things that they have no control over.
This should not be the case with you. Ask that simple question and the answer will take you where you need to go.
No longer will you need to sit in despair after you have wasted precious time chasing after things that you cannot change!
At the end of this effort, you realize that you are much more successful and proficient in life than you were before…
A BIG HUG!!!

Thanks All of You!!!!
Excellent review @chbartist and you are right, we all need to strictly prioritize our path and follow them. Of course, can take on different things at once, but this is only a waste of time and nothing can really be done, so need to strive for something one and devote yourself to the achievement of the goal!
Great post @chbartist . on one of the greatest habit of successful people, "A wise person focuses on things he can change, while a foolish person focuses on things that are not in his control" I realized when i focus on things which i can't control, than i lose my energy.
And also you give us a great question, "If I dedicate my attention to that particular task, am I going to be able to do something about it?" Which will increase our productivity and give us more clarity.
Thank you @chbartist .

Hi friend @chbartist
Wells said in above lines. Infact this is the difference between wise and foolish person. A wise person knows where to put his energy to take maximum output but another one waste it in unnecessary things.

There is a quote "A turtle that knows where it wants to go can reach its destination faster than a rabbit that doesn't know where to go." Focusing is the first step to be successful..
If I dedicate my attention to that particular task, am I going to be able to do something about it?
Such a simple yet powerful question. I like to think I apply this mindset 100% of the time, but I doubt it.
I will start asking this question to myself from now on.
Thank you
Prioritization is such an important aspect to be learned and exercise in life.
Keep inspiring buddy.
So wait if I'm successful in Bitcoin investing means I can dedicate attention to alot of things? Basically its called multi-tasking
If I dedicate my attention to that particular task, am I going to be able to do something about it?
I think there are times you can do something but we are not sure about it and we choose to ket it go. That's we change on a particular things that maybe easier or we'll have an assurance that we can do about. It's not all the time that we must avoid, what if it will be the reason or the way to make things great in life.
I hope I interact correctly. hehe

I have same thinking with you. Sometimes I want to grab all because as @chbartist said :
because I afraid to lose something, so that is why I often do not focus on what I have to do.
Its like Steve Jobs.
He can't change and cure his disease so he focus on things he can change.
He died at 56 because of his sickness but his works remain alive.
Yes friend successful person always use time achieved goal through proper a systematic ménage everything.
