Success Takes Focus
You can have a strong desire and really want to achieve your goal but as you've experienced，life has its way of knocking us off course．Things come up，and distractions occur．
    Success takes a lot of focus．You've had the experience of setting a goal and being really excited about achieving it only to have a few weeks or months to go by and realize the goal has dropped down on your list of priorities．
    People often get easily side tracked．This doesn't just happen all at once．You get off track just little by little until one day，you realize you're completely off track．Keeping your mind focused on your goal can be a constant battle because everything around you is trying to get your attention．It will be your job to keep your goal up high on your priorities list．
    So what can you do to keep your focus？There are several things you can try．You can write down your goal and read it each morning and night．You can visualize achieving your goal daily．
    One of my favorite methods of keeping focused on a goal is to constantly ask myself， "Is what I'm doing right now bringing me closer to my goal or further away？" Once you answer that question，you'll know what to do．You can make sure that your daily to-do list includes doing something that will take you closer to your goal．
    If you look back at the goals you've tried to achieve and realized you haven't achieved any of your major goals，it may be time to just focus on a single goal．This way，all of your energy and focus can be put towards obtaining that one goal which will increase your chances of getting it．It's a lot better to just achieve one major goal than to work on a dozen and achieve none of them．
    Remember that you're human and because of this，you'll make some errors in judgment．Instead of beating yourself up，just be aware that certain things can take your focus away from your goals．Once you're aware of these things，you can actively reduce the amount of time they take your focus off your goals．
    Distractions are like gravity．It's going to cause us all to fall every now and then．The important thing is that we bounce back up every time we fall．Get your focus back on your goal when you start to realize it's drifting somewhere else．
