An element of a winning mind: FOCUS by Kevin Abdulrahman
Life is a game, and winning is the equivalent of success in what ever that is of importance to you in this world.
In your talks, you speak about A Winning Mind- Can you describe it in one sentence?
A Winning Mind is a very broad topic with which we can spend days discussing it. Just to touch on a few elements, A Winning Mind is a mind that is in control of emotions, a mind that is courageous, a mind that looks for the other side of the coin, a mind that is focussed on achieving their goals and desires. This is only but a few elements.
Let's talk about Focus. Tell us more about the importance of having Focus in your life.
Our lives are filled with events (big and small) that occur on a daily basis, that's the beauty of life. With so much going on, it requires those with A Winning Mind to stay on course without being distracted by surrounding influences. If you are not focussed you tend to lag behind in your commitments, your tasks and also achieving your goals. To be productive in your personal and professional life, you need to be focussed and able to deflect life's distractions.
How serious is this issue of lack of focus?
Think of the signal that streams to your satellite dish. When uninterrupted, it gives you a crystal clear picture on your TV. What happens when there is interference in the signal, due to say wind or thunderstorms? The signal is interrupted and as a result,5825 Ugg Classic Short Chocolate Boots, the picture on the screen is affected.
The signal is the focus. The picture on the screen is the result.
On the face of it, people don't realise the price they pay for not being focussed. Especially at a time like this, many have let the economical and environmental factors distract them. This distraction brings about lower productivity in people's personal lives. Within organisations, this had resulted in reduced productivity and therefore a reduction in potential earnings.
What about those who want to like a few things on their plate so to speak to get ahead?
This is a trap faced by most people wanting to win in their game of life. Sometimes it seems like you are getting ahead by having so much on your plate, but focussing on completing one task at a time actually helps you achieve more. It may be boring, it may look dull, but you will achieve more, one task at a time. I see so many young entrepreneurs who are always looking for the next best thing, who are always trying to put deals together, who feel that they need to have their fingers in every single pie that they hear of. What they don't realise is their energy is dissipated and they can not achieve the higher result they would have if focussed on a single task at a time.
Imagine you wanted to start a fire on a straw mat using a magnifying glass. Can you start a fire if you keep on moving the magnifying glass? We all know that one must hold the magnifying glass at a certain point over time in order to focus the rays from the sun. As a result, a fire is started by staying put and staying focussed. So I usually say, once you start a fire, then you can use that fire to start your other fires.
A well known icon focussed his skill of picking and buying stocks in undervalued companies and watched them flourish in their due time. As a result he amassed a great deal of wealth,5825 Ugg Classic Short Navy Boots. That man is Warren buffet, the second richest man in the world. He applied the simple principle of focus.
So how does one manage to do so without getting off course?
In what ever aspect of life, you must always ask yourself a simple question, 'what price will I have to pay'? What is the price that you will have to pay to remain focussed to achieve a given task? Once you have answered that,10. Share your success with others, you then ask yourself what is the price you will have to pay if you are distracted because life got in your way? Once you have both answers, you can weigh up which will cost you more. When I take my clients through this exercise, they usually realise that the price they pay for being distracted is much higher than the price of staying focussed. I also suggest to my clients that they have little rewards attached to completing a task, something to look forward to. This can be getting a cup of your favourite vanilla latte once you have finished your project, catching up with a friend once you have completed your assignments or going on vacation with your family once you close a specific business deal.
Can one obtain focus overnight?
It amazes me how many people are resistant to change in their environment or in the actions they have to take. Yet the same people have an expectation of immediate results,Giving Up Too Soon. You will find that like most things in life, focus becomes easier with practice and time.
We weren't born running, yet after learning how to move using our limbs, we learned to crawl, then we learned how to balance after hundreds of hard hitting falls, then we started to walk. After that we learned to run, then got on our bikes and learned to drive. Some of us have learned to fly and those who took it all they way even learned to get to the moon. The same applies with achieving immense focus in your life,this glowing form in front of yourself. Trace that form inside your body, take one step at a time and most important of all, never give up,5825 Ugg Classic Short Black Boots. Keep doing it, persist and know that it will be hard especially when times are tough and you are under pressure. You will find that in time, mastering focus will show in the fire of your results.
Lastly
A Winning Mind knows that every day spent focusing on their end reward moves them one step closer to attaining their goals. No matter how minute the results, by focussing more, you will see yourself achieving more. When you start to achieve, you grow confident, but that is a different topic all together we will discuss next time.
