Every day we battle the all-consuming spell of the media, and if we allow it to distract us, we lose our power in the world. But if we embrace this one change, we set ourselves above and beyond the majority striving for achievement in their lives.
So what is this one powerful, game-changing thing that can change our fortunes?
Single-mindedness.
Itâs as simple as most of these things are, but the challenge is always in the application. Here are the three aspects you need for this force of single-mindedness to work for you.
Â
- Have a clear and concise goal
- Know exactly what your results should beÂ
- Be willing to scrap lesser goals, even highly exciting opportunities so you can focus.
Â
What is the future you want? Your view of your own future is the single greatest factor in what you do here-and-now. Constructing your clear and concise goal depends on where you think you will be. Your view of your own future directly impacts how you feel now. If you have a positive view of your future, then your emotions and behaviour will be positive. If you donât, then guess what your future will be bleak. You must imagine where you want to be so that
you can make conscious decisions in the here-and-now that will take you there.
Â
In order for your future to be effective, you need to know what your results must be. You need a specific goal to direct your focus and behaviour towards it. You must centre yourself around ONE SPECIFIC OUTCOME. The more singular your focus, the more inspired and clear will your path to achieving it be. This is where it gets tricky for a lot of people. You need to choose ONE GOAL. ONE OUTCOME.
Â
What is that one goal for You?
Â
Choosing ONE OUTCOME is mostly having clarity and focus. Therefore, you must look at all of the âpotential futuresâ you have in your mind and start making some decisions.
Â
What minor goals do I need to discard?
Â
The truth is, you canât have it âall.â Decisions require removing alternative options. Making a true decision is how you change your life. But it also means you must say no to other things â even great things. If you prune all the unnecessary, and single-mindedly go for the one goal, youâll be a tough act to follow.
Â
Committing to this goal takes guts. It will challenge you to the core. But the more committed you become, the more clarity you will have. And you will begin to see these echos from the universe that confirm you are on the right track. Be encouraged and double down, your goal will become real.
Â
You donât need any special wisdom to be single-minded. Just decide to focus on what is essential and give it everything youâve got.
