Focus on what is Important

Target by Ameer Basheer

Make it bold, bigger and large. Paste it on the front wall. When you commit something in your life, write it down and paste it in front of your eyes. Everyday you can see it. Everyday you realise the real reason you started working on the commitment.

For example, I was teaching my development class NodeJs (a programming language). It is a bottom language, lower side and not visible in front. And 3 days down, my entire class had forgotten why we started learning to Code. Our energy level went down. We felt lost and I realised it was not the problem of motivation. The problem was lack of focus on our aim. So we revived it back. We redrew the aim of fixing the web design, visible to people on a browser, as we saw where we were heading; we came back alive.

Let’s examine how we can increase our focus and make our journey colourful.

It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.

1 Write it down

Write by Campaign Creators

When you start working on your new thing, the crazy big idea that will make it all great, you need to believe in it. First off all, write it down on a paper with a bold black marker. “Why you are building it”. And hang it there, on your front wall. Take a photo. Make it your wall paper on phone and laptop.

Today, when the idea hits, it is beautiful, meaningful and exciting. Tomorrow, you will forget these feelings, if you do not record these feelings. The paper, wall paper, are these recordings that will give you a hit every day. You will feel great. Motivated. Powered. To keep working, keep pushing, keep breaking.

If you don’t record it now, you will fail tomorrow.

2 Relax

Relax by Simon Migaj

We focus too much on un-important things in our life. The design, the aesthetics, the feel, the advertisement, the revenue and all things that are not needed to make you a success.

You do not need a website, not a blog, not a meet up, not an agency to make you success. These all things are difficult to learn skills and learning always takes time. These things will come as a by product of walking towards your journey and focusing on your destination.

Focus on purpose only. The destination. Inside your capacity, present skills, resources, limits, think on executing the plan and make it a reality.

3 For example,

Cart by Sandy Ching

If you want to open a restaurant in your major city. You do not need money, some chefs, sophisticated websites and media hype. Nothing of it is required if you want to stand out.

You buy a cart, buy rice from Savour Foods Islamabad, transport it to your cart, and start selling it standing anywhere clean. You do it everyday. Slowly you will find customers. Later you will find your own recipe. And some days down, you will find a shop. A shop will turn big and big and one day become a restaurant.

If you will lack focus on your destination, somewhere in between, at shop stage or at the cart stage, you will lose. You will miss out this hit and you will have to redo some patches again.

4 The Secret Ingredient

Bold by Steve Harvey

Inside it all, is only taking BOLD steps. Not hard work, not boring days sitting under a boss, not lengthy exams. It is none of that old rotten philosophy. If you want to achieve success in your life, you are needed to RELAX. And take very few bold decisions to take complete control of your life.

Conclusion

Pin on wall by PEIWEN HE

It is a brotherly advice to you. From the core of my heart. If you want to live a great life. Full of fun and joy and happinesses. Pick up your bold black marker. Write your one exciting idea. Pin it to the wall. And go to sleep.

Honestly, do not work hard, extra, magical or productive. Just sleep. Relax. And have fun.

Your idea will keep you excited. It will push you to do amazing things. If it is hanged, always in front, on the wall, it will become a success itself.

You do not worry about its success. You do not focus on its tiny fractions and how it materialises. You stay away from it. You relax. Sleep. Have fun. Do not focus on the road. Focus on what is important. What is at the end of the road.
