Feature

Once you’ve set your mind to something, there are three things that can derail you – and
all three have to do with where your focus lies. Emotions easily eat up time. If you aren’t in touch
with where you are mentally, then surprises will pop up that take you off course.

#1: Worry

Worry is the top distraction of focus. It’s a surrender to fear. Worry
fills your head with “what ifs” without offering any tangible action
points for “if X happens, then I’ll do Y.” It feeds the critics in your own
head. Don’t spend your time worrying about something that might
not even happen! Instead, be a realist so you can see the possibility
of obstacles to your goals and can plan accordingly. The focus shifts
from possible pain (worry) to actionable solutions.

#2: Pleasure

Believe it or not, pleasure can steer you off course, too.
It’s another attention grabber. It’s especially tempting to
seek out immediate gratification in the throes of fear. The
desire for pleasure distracts from the end goal by pulling
you off course in the midst of your pursuits.

#3: People Pleasing

Are you a people pleaser? The demands of others can
draw you away from your goals. Worry and pleasure play
into this. You worry that you will disappoint or lose favour
when you stop chasing after other people’s dreams. You
forget that giving your best self, living your best life, adn
living up to yuor full potential is how you give your best to
others. You cannot be all and do all for others.

Success is about focus and determination. It has to do with the work that
leads to it. It has to do with discovering the pursuit and the individual
moments that bring you joy and harnessing them into the standard of
your life. You have to know how you define you, what motivates you
forward, and then you have to focus on your goals.

Leadership is something you earn, but first you must
stop being a follower. You can become a person
worth following, but first you have to stop
saying ‘yes’ to everyone else’s needs.

HOW TO
• Stop worrying.
• Stop settling for instant gratification.
• Stop living someone else’s dream. REALIGN
• Start living your best life now and focus
on YOUR tomorrow.
