Focus. You are what you think. Where ever you cast your gaze, that’s what you’ll see. When we see, we can make better judgements about our situations, surroundings, what we want, and where we want to go. We don’t travel to destinations with our eyes closed. We have them open, aware, alert, surveying, looking for signs that indicate we’re going the right way.
It works the same way for your thoughts and goals. You must concentrate and visualize and preoccupy your mind with where you want to be- and then act on those thoughts. When opportunities present themselves to carry you there, you will see them as signs that point to your end goals, and you will seize them up. You will take notice and they will not be overlooked.
There is a principle called the 80/20 rule. It says that 20% of our efforts achieve 80% of our results, and the other 80% of our efforts accomplish 20% of our results. Most people (like myself) can’t seem to find enough time in a day, but the truth is, the time is there, it’s just how they are using it. Rearrange your priorities so that you are spending your efforts accomplishing the results of only the most important activities and tasks. How you spend your time defines who you are. Manage it well.
