The outcomes in your life will depend on the quality of the frames you use to evaluate the events, the choices you make, and your decision not to be affected negatively by any events that occur.
~ Mensah Oteh
It’s not what happens, it’s what you do that makes the difference to how things turn out. Change your perspective in the way that serves you best.
Focus is central to everything you do, and where your focus goes, energy flows
Focus means exercising the self-discipline required to keep your time, energy and attention directed towards the outcomes you have chosen whilst avoiding all distractions – good or bad.
The path to success lies in finding something you have a passion for, care deeply about, and are willing to apply all of your energy and focus to.
Success rarely occurs until a desire is turned into a passion and all focus and energy is channelled in its path.
There are many good things in the world, but not all of them benefit you. Focus keeps you on the path of what is right and away from other options.
To succeed, you have to say ‘no’ more often than you say ‘yes’. This is easier when you have a definite purpose or clarity on the desired outcome.
All worthwhile endeavours begin in your thoughts, and focusing your thoughts appropriately will increase your chances of success.
If you can stay focused on your most important goal, you can become incredibly successful, but to stay focused you must intentionally create and maintain an environment, atmosphere, and culture that keeps you focused.
When we think of success, we often associate those who are successful with the things they do rather than the things they don’t, and focus is found in the latter.
To develop stronger focus, develop a greater reason or meaning for your goal.
You will fall short of achieving your goals if your focus is fragmented and your attention, energy, and concentration diversified.
Every day comes with a host of opportunities but also distractions. You need to develop good judgement in the decisions and choices you make.
Focus comes from a promise of the future, and therefore the strength and longevity of your focus will seldom exceed the strength of your purpose, vision, dreams or goal.
Failure results from broken focus, and an average person with complete unwavering focus can achieve more than a team of geniuses with broken focus.
What you see and what you focus on has a profound impact on your behaviour.
Focus determines your feelings, which in turn influence your behaviour, actions and your destiny.
Focus is where you fail or succeed.
Focus is not a state of single-mindedly pursuing one goal or objective without getting distracted. Rather, it’s a commitment to exert all concentration and effort through constant adjustment like the lens of the human eye on a vision or purpose
Failure is a snapshot of the present and never an indication of the final outcome or destination.
Fail faster, but (more importantly) fail intelligently.
In times of difficulty, take time out and seek support and encouragement.
What you say to yourself after a failed experience or setback is as important as what you say when you succeed.
You should be your best critic and coach.
Invested wisely, time produces a good return. Invested poorly, it has little or no value and is therefore wasted.
Your thoughts create your reality and you can chose the quality and the type of reality you experience every day by guarding your mind and only allowing the right input.
Regardless of your gender, age, race, disability, colour, ethnic or national origin, how you use time each day decides who you become.
Time is life. To manage time you simply have to manage yourself.
Treat time and money as though they are the same by using both resourcefully.
Although time is equally possessed by everyone, it is valued and used differently by the successful.
If you don’t understand the concept of time or appreciate its value, it’s almost impossible to be successful.
Always look into the future when deciding how to use your time in the present.
Spend your time today on things that will create more or save you time in the future.
The effective use of time is the best-kept secret of those who have created a successful life and continue to experience it every day
The value of time lies in its brevity. To use it effectively, you must know its value.
You can do this by disciplining yourself to be selective in what you read, see, hear, say to yourself and the influence of others.
You can leverage time by using it wisely and purposefully.
Your understanding and use of time decides the life you will have in the future.
The effective use of time is the best-kept secret of those who have created a successful life and continue to experience it every day.
