Focus is everything.

The world we inhabit is finite and we have to live within the parameters of certain constraints such as time. While there are limitless possibilities, and one may have illimitable potential there is not enough time allotted to do everything. Attempting to do too many things will render mediocrity. Channeling one’s focus in such ways may render an individual good at several things, however it will never make him or her “great” at anything. Those who are most successful are not merely good at what they do but great at what they do.

Life lesson can be found in everyday situations

While filling a water bottle at a water cooler I learned an important lesson regarding focus. When giving my full attention to the task at hand I was successful at filling the bottle without wasting even the tiniest droplets of water. When removing my focus away from the task I noticed that some of the water began to spill over onto the floor. I was still able to fill the bottle, but due to the spillage it took more time to accomplish my task. Redirecting my focus permitted me to regain momentum but I could never get back lost time or the precious water that ran in droplets on the floor.

Lesson: When focus is lost so is time. The one thing that cannot be regained is time. Time is everything, it is humankind’s most valuable resource. How one spends his or her time determines outcomes.

1. Choose an area of focus (choose wisely)
2. Spend time everyday building that skill, talent, hobby,or habit  even if it is a few minutes
3. Constantly evaluate where you are compared to where you want to be and adjust accordingly (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly)
4. Don’t let setbacks disrupt you
