2 Secrets to Success: Focus and Consistency
We all want so many things at the same time: a beautiful house, a nice car, lost of money, loving relationships, successful career… and so on. Unfortunately any worthwhile, challenging goal requires sustained effort.
And that’s where things get difficult.
Doing something for a day or two isn’t hard. Starting something new is always very exciting. But after a couple of days when a project stops being new, the excitement slowly fades. As a result we move on to a new goal, never finishing what we’ve already started.
This pattern of behavior slowly transforms itself into a habit. And we end up with nothing… Except for stress.
Not only that.. In the process of chasing after our multiple desires we lose energy, time and money.
There are two main qualities that you need to develop if you want to be successful:
Focus and consistency.
If you want to have a life of your dreams, you should realize, that you can achieve ANYTHING you desire, but you can’t achieve EVERYTHING at the same time.
As we live in a must-have-it-now society we are accustomed to switching from one goal to another with a speed of light. However, our time, energy, effort and money are all limited resources. When we divide those limited resources between our multiple wishes, desires and goals, we simply can’t accomplish any significant results.
What we are left with is hardly enough to create a momentum. So our motivation begins to wane, because we don’t see how we can ever reach our goal.
Big long-term goals require 100% of your focused energy. You can achieve any goal a lot faster, given that you stay focused on it.
You might have dozens of projects and goals in mind, but only a few of them will have a noticeable positive effect on your life.
When you begin to think in terms of priorities, things will start to fall into place and your focus and productivity will increase instantly.
Prioritizing is easy. All you have to do is to compare two goals in mind and chose one that is most important to you at the moment. Your present life and well-being is a result of choices that you make EVERY single second. Please, choose wisely!
Because if you keep on doing what you have always done, you keep on getting what you’ve always gotten.
