Concentrate Your Powers, Manage Your Resources, Get Your Goals

In goal setting, focusing on one major area is the most powerful and effective strategy to concentrate your energy, manage your resources and therefore reduce the time it takes to reach your goal.

Too many times we are distracted from our main goal and purpose by all of the different things out there that we want, or think we want, or what others think we want. Choose something to spend your life on that you desire, that you want to achieve or have, not what others want for you.

The world is full of parents planning lives for their children. Sometimes it works out, most times it does not. Your goal must be your goal, not anyone else’s. This is critical to your creating motivation to achieve what you want.

Instead of making choices, we seem to want it all, everything we come across. Too many conflicting desires is a recipe for disaster.

With every goal which does not align with our main definite goal or purpose our percentage chance to achieve it goes down. With dilution, our focus and concentration lose strength, and we lose momentum with each direction change.

This could be disempowering in the long term if not put into it’s proper perspective. So what do we do? Hold our desires in check? Forget about all those other things we want?

No way! Never isolate yourself from your desires. Bond with them, make them important, and “do or die” – “what ever it takes”. You can happily move towards their achievement. Timing and Strategy may change but the goal is in the bank.

First thing to do right now is DECIDE that wanting more is OK. This is a very human thing and it drives progress. It is wanting many conflicting things where we start to get ourselves into trouble.

Napoleon Hill stated that ‘The Master Key To Riches’ was the development of a burning desire for the achievement of a major definite purpose, and the self-discipline to act until it is achieved. (loosely quoted)’

Riches do not just include money or things, but everything that enriches our lives, and this is different for everyone.

Now to take ‘Nappy’ literally, one would have to have a single focus that they would develop into a Magnificent Obsession, again nothing negative about this.

If you want several different things all at once, it is likely that it will split your focus in too many directions, and you will achieve none of them.

However . . . when you connect them up by going after a single massive undertaking which when achieved gets you all of the above, then your focus will be laser sharp and your concentration unbroken. And… then you will have all of the objects of your desire! This is truly where we maximize our powers. Laser focus, sharply pointed concentration.

Now, if you do not have a Single Massive All Encompassing Focus, then a substitute plan might be to list all that you want on paper. Then, start arranging them in order of importance to you. Most important on top, least important on bottom.

Decide what is most important to you. If that is difficult, then start eliminating those goals you can do without. (eliminate them just like those reality shows do) You will be left by default with the most important goal to go after. As for the others, Go after them one at a time.

Either way you must come out with a single focus so that you can plan a strategy to attain it. Your motivation and power will be centered and the momentum will build towards achieving exactly what you want without distraction.
