Where focus goes energy flows.
— Anthony Robbins

When I put my foot down on an issue I felt strongly about as a kid, my mum would call me stubborn, but I chose to call it single mindedness.😜My Mom wasn’t the typical Jamaican Mom, dispatching dissent with a sharp word or a seasoned belt. When it came to my education, she gave me some leeway. And in this instance, I was fighting for my life. She wanted me to get rid of my precious comic collection because she had heard on good authority they would compromise my morals and stunt my ability to learn!
What!

Focus on the Target

I wasn’t a difficult child, I was quite easygoing really, but there were a few things that came up in my life that I would not compromise on. My comic collection was one such thing, and all my focus went into securing their safety.
I did, and it was magic.
Even back then, I knew the power of focus. But as with so many things, I grew up and forgot.
The ideas were still there even in adulthood, but I used them in disrespectful ways that were not becoming of the powerful tools that they are.
And as always - in my life, at least, I’m reintroduced to these crucial tools, and I get to play with them again.
Thank God for that.

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.

It’s 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.

Have a clear and concise goal
Know exactly what your results should be
Be willing to scrap lesser goals, even highly exciting opportunities so you can focus.

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 don’t, 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.

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.

What is that one goal for You?

Choosing ONE OUTCOME is mostly having clarity and focus. Therefore, you must look at all of the “potential futures” you have in your mind and start making some decisions.

What minor goals do I need to discard?

The truth is, you can’t have it “all.” 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 — even great things. If you prune all the unnecessary, and single-mindedly go for the one goal, you’ll be a tough act to follow.

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.

You don’t need any special wisdom to be single-minded. Just decide to focus on what is essential and give it everything you’ve got.
