The Value of Focus

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.” ~ Swami Vivekananda

Ideas rule the world. Yes indeed! Once you get a good idea about something you want to do, you can never make meaningful progress on that idea if you are unable to muster sufficient focus and attention on the idea. The more you focus on it, the better you can understand it. The more you think about it, the better you can make use of it. It is virtually impossible for any problem to completely defeat your thinking process if you are able to muster sufficient focus on the problem. That is reason why the sun’s rays only burns when brought to focus. Harnessing all resources at your disposal and directing them to solving one problem is a faster and better way to get that problem solved. That is the power of focus.

Let me strengthen this discourse further with these quotes from 3 world famous authors and writers:

“Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives." - Anthony Robbins

"Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets." - Nido Qubein

"What you choose to focus your mind on is critical because you will become what you think about most of the time." - Noel Peebles

Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”
