Focus, as defined by me, is your ability to keep your eyes and concentrate your energy on what you want, where you are going or what you want to achieve until you see it done.
Every man at some point has a target to reach. They could sight it even if its still far, but only very few truly keep on at it until it is done. This is the reason we have too many abandoned projects. Projects in our business, spiritual life, health, family, love etc many times experience problems due to lack of focus.
Some of the things that could affect your focus but must not stop you are:

1) Your past: Always remember that what you have ahead is greater than what you have left behind. Lot’s wife looked back to the past and became a pillar of salt. You must recognize that everyone has a past, some good and some bad, yet neither of them can get you to your destination. They can only act as a catalyst to move you on.

2) The kind of people you surround yourself with. Some will cheer you to move on, others will discourage you but none of them is as important as you are in the decision to get to your destination. Keep your eyes on the goal.

3) What you constantly say about yourself and about where you are going to , “ I can’t make it, no matter what”, “Success is not for people like me”, “Who knows me”. What you are constantly and consistently saying to yourself will to a large extent form your views and affect your focus.

4) Troubles/ challenges/  contrary situations are stumbling blocks that will always arise at some point in your life’s journey. What you do with them will determine how far you can go. They can either be  a stepping stone for you or they will become a blockade to terminate the vision.

Keep your eyes on where you are going to and you’ll surely get there. It is possible!!!.
