Just like me, you, and the next cat many times we lose focus or get sidetracked. More times than none it creeps up on you like the boggy monster. Then you find yourself completely out of bounds, moving out of the guidelines you had in place. You have to be on another level to keep your focus on point at all times.

Don’t beat yourself over the head if you continuously find your mind pondering into space. I even find myself swerving out of my lane. Just kidding! You’re going to always catch me speeding right pass everyone in my lane, because I know the strength in re-focusing my attention. This isn’t Futurama, and I ‘m human just like the rest of you.

I just catch myself and quickly re-route my plan of attack, then I attack, attack, and keep attacking! If it’s the last thing I do I’m going to instill the power of re-focusing your attention deep inside you. Here’s the reasoning behind the madness that goes through my head.

Time Is Money, Don’t Waste It

In this world we live in, time is one of the most treasured things you have on your side. It’s not ever lasting and personally it feels like it speeds by me. One second I could be talking on the phone, then the next thing I know 2 hours has passed and flown by my head. It is really that easy to get sidetracked and lose attention of time.

Then all that time you lost you can NEVER get it back. It’s gone forever, and you really need all the time you can get your hands on. If time wasn’t limited there wouldn’t be a single person on this earth with any type of urgency. Everyone would act like the high guy on campus, and just cruise by.

The truth is that’s not the case, and for some your time is even shorter than expected. Your time can run out at any given second, and this why you need to quit wasting it. All the time you waste, that’s extra money in someone else’s pocket willing to keep themselves focused. Watch your footsteps to make sure you’re staying on track. Make use of your time as best you can.

Progression Is Key

Progression, progression, progression just can’t seem to say that word enough. People don’t realize how valuable continual progress is to becoming successful. To really progress at anything whether it is sports, writing, or even acting, you have to keep moving forward. To get to your destination you must continue walking in that direction, because if you change directions there’s no telling where you might end up!

You might find yourself homeless, or even worse behind bars. At least if you’re homeless you still have your freedom. I can personally tell you that continuous progression will be a major key in your success. The coolest way to stay in your lane and keep moving forward is finding something you are passionate about. Search for what truly makes you delighted.

It’s far easier to keep yourself focused when you enjoy what you’re doing. Then find ways to further boost your enthusiasm. That could be as simple as finding like-minded friends to push you and give you that extra bit of inspiration. Keep taking footsteps one day at a time in the right direction.

Lost In A Maze

Life is like an enormous maze that never seems to end until you leave this earth. Every day the maze seems to only grow with more wrong turns added just for the purpose of throwing you off track. Left, Right, Up, down, and everywhere you look it’s a dead trap. The trap is to toss you off your grind and leave you for the sharks.

You have to Re-focus and check where your attention is, then make sure you get back on track. Don’t let the Devil deceive you with all his outside forces. Your true power comes from within the mind, body, and soul you were blessed with. Train the instincts you have to catch yourself when you’re about to make a wrong turn, and then re-route like GPS.

Learn which turns to avoid and which ones will put you closer to your destination. If you keep your head on straight you will find your way. Hey, if you need help I’ll be right here pushing you along!

De-“Freakin”-Railment

Picture yourself speeding down the highway and you see a hot chick/dude take your eyes off the road for 2 seconds, then bam, bam, BAM! Just that quick it could be over for you. My intentions aren’t to scare you or give you nightmares. Instead I’m trying to open your eyes to the real business world.

You can never take your eyes off a goal even for a split second. In that split second you left just enough time for someone else to run in and take your place. When you take your eyes off the goal you’re giving someone just enough space to maneuver around you. If you have ever seen the movie unstoppable by Denzel Washington you know exactly where I’m headed, and if you haven’t you should really set aside some time to watch it. Denzel always manages to pack a valuable lesson.

Stay on track with your business. Use everything you have from within if that’s what it’s going to take. When you start slipping, so will your motivation. In your life you’re going to need all the motivation you can get, because distractions are everywhere. Get distracted and it could potentially be the death of the progress you have made thus far. All your sweat, blood, and tears will be for nothing. I know you don’t want that so you better keep your laser focus on point!

Conclusion

When you’re on a mission the last thing you want is to lose focus, and find yourself falling off track. If you fall too far off track you’re bound to crash and find yourself in an unbeatable position. This is why you must understand the power of re-focusing your attention. It’s imperative to regularly revisit your goals and make sure you’re still walking in the right direction

It would suck to look back and wonder how you ended up in outer space. In this life we all live were only blessed with one chance to make something of ourselves. Are you on track to turning your dreams into reality, or do you find yourself moving in the opposite direction? Keep your focus on target and anything is with reach. You just have to reach out far enough to snatch it!

Community Discussion

Have you ever found yourself falling off track? I know on a many occasions in my life I have had to re-visit my goals. How have you steered your way back in your lane? I would be more than happy to learn from your story!
