Have you ever focussed your entire life around the achievement of one goal? Did you ever arrange your life to meet the needs of achievment in just one small area of your life? Have you ever felt the burning desire to maximise your talents which has led you to focus on one unerring goal?
You may not have as yet achieved all that you may have desired in life should the answer to this question be ‘no’. You may be going through life by being led more by circumstance than by actually controlling your own destination and outcome.
Really consider your life now. Consider now who is in the driving seat of your life, you or life? What choices have you made in the recent past that are really steering the course of your life?
It is very easy to be distracted by the material world we live in, to be dictated to by earthly desires: money, cars, careers, television, fashion and ultimately society at large. Although there is nothing bad about those things however it may be that you are merely living up to the expectations of people around you and society as opposed to really fulfilling your own desires.
Think of all of your own unique desires, are you really going after them. The things that you are talented at and passionate about. We all have our own unique talents and desires. If we can identify what these things are and then let them flow through our lives unhindered then imagine how much more happy and successful you would be.
Learn to nurture one definite goal that you wish to achieve and focus on that one desire. Do not be as the majority of people are and merely wish to have many things but then lack both the desire and the purpose to accomplish any of them and therefore almost garauntee themselves more of the same ‘lack of fulfillment’.
Simply make some effort and discover how to really concentrate and focus on just one personal goal will solve this issue. Now don’t worry about working out ‘how to concentrate’. Concentration is a very real tool that you have to put to work for you. Have you ever concentrated so completely on a particular sports game that you weren’t aware of the things around you? If you have you may recall just how completely dominated your thoughts were by those of the match, to the detriment of everything else. It is this same positive thinking approach that will allow you to focus and concentrate on your own chosen desire and to make it real in your life.
Here is my challenge to you: decide upon one particular target for yourself that comes from within and deliberately focus all of your effort towards the accomplishment of this. Now see how much more you will achieve by concentrating on one single goal rather than spreading your efforts around. Robert Collier sums this point up best:
“The time you put in aimlessly dreaming and wishing would accomplish marvels if it were concentrated on one definite object”
A further natural testimony to this is the suns rays. If they are scattered around then they can achieve little however if they remain focussed like sun shining through a magnifying class then they can accomplish so much more.
In short you need to find that one intense desire that you are willing to sacrifice all else for, that one thing that pulls you deep inside, that one thing that will inspire yourself and others to great achievements. Concentrate and subsequently really focus on that single target until it has been successfully completed. Once you have mastered this process you really can say that you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul! How incredible will that day feel. You may also wish to make use of the many valuable personal development products out there, you should watch out for a movie called ‘Beyond The Secret’ which will be out very soon.
