Amos Rebecca Buba

The world is moving at a very fast pace and it is very easy to get distracted by many things everyday. To be able to thrive in this fast-paced environment and be successful, it is vital to be focused.

But why is being focused essential in the world today? What are the outcomes of being focused? Does it make you more happier or sadder? If being focused is vital and essential to human lives, what is stopping you from being focused? Ponder on this questions as I take you through the importance of being focused.

Focus is the act of being fully dedicated to your defined goals and objectives at the moment. When you are focused, your goals are defined and everything you do is gearing towards achieving them. You make decisions based on your goals and fully channel your mind, energy and resources to achieving them.

Being focused involves you shutting out all other distractions and giving your fully undivided attention to achieving or completing a specific task at hand. Being focused gives you the ability to truly change things. When you are focusing on something, you are channelling all your energy to it and giving it room to develop and expand. As it is popularly said, “Energy flows where the attention goes”. So where is your attention?

Now importance of being focused!

Let’s start with how it helps you achieve your goals; when you set your goals, you are setting them to achieve it. Your level of being focus will determine the level of achievement you will have. Once you set goals and are focused on achieving them, you will definitely achieve them, but if you are not focused you will end up wasting time, energy and resources on things that are not useful. You want to know more about how focus works, ask a photographer, he knows exactly how photos taken when he is focused looks, and how they look when he doesn’t focus. Apply the camera method, focus on the things that are important and capture them.

Being focused enables you become successful faster; the level of achievement you get is more when you are focused than when you are not, if you check all the successful people you know, they have a track record of being focused. Daily they work on their goals and it enable them achieve it faster than others who work on their goals on alternative days. They never allow anything distract them. Many have set goals, worked on it for few days and suddenly stop, simply because they lack the focus. Do you wish to be successful? Do you admire those that achieve their goals faster? Then you need to focus! Yes focus now!

Also, being focused helps you reduce your stress levels, when you are constantly talking to others, doing many things at a time and having so much distractions, you tend to be more stressed and less productive. When your attention is everywhere you cannot get things done as much as when your attention is focused on a single task. Lack of focus will it difficult for you to determine what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. And you can easily be overworked; when this happens severe stress and all it’s components are coming for you.

Also, being focused help you expand your knowledge and discover more opportunities; when you are focused on specific task you tend to know more about it, expand your intelligence and knowledge around it. Take for instance you are a Forex trader, the more you focus on the market, the more you learn and your knowledge of it eventually expands, it is also applied to anything you are doing. Whenever you are focused, your eyes will be open to paths that you had no idea existed before. When you direct your mind to possibilities, you tend to find them and they open more doors to new opportunities. Remember when you are focused you learn new things and the more you learn, the more your life becomes better.

In conclusion, remember doing so many things at a time doesn’t lead to a more productive day but rather focusing on a task does. Being focused is the key to success. The most work is usually not the most important work; doing the most important task to the highest standard produce success, and only focus can help you determine that.

Stay focused!
