“A confused mind does nothing.” – Anonymous
Focus: fo’-cus / verb
- adapt to the prevailing level of light and become able to see clearly;
- pay particular attention to.
Just as you should keep your focus off yesterday, you should not have it on tomorrow. If you are always thinking about tomorrow, then you will never get anything done today.Your focus needs to remain in the one area where you have some control – today. What is ironic is that if you focus on today, you get a better tomorrow!
There are certain things you can do everyday to help you in this area.
- Read daily to grow in your personal life.
- Listen to others daily to broaden your perspective.
- Think daily to apply what you have learned.
- Write daily so you can remember what you have learned.
- Share daily what you have learned with others.
