The word FOCUS is an interesting word and its also an important key to whatever we do here on earth. Whoever loses FOCUS on anything in life will definitely not achieve their set goals.

LIFE IN GENERAL

With the challenges facing the world now, it's almost 98% impossible for one to stay FOCUSED due to lots of distraction. This affects DECISION MAKING,making it difficult for people and this tends to fail if wrong decisions are made.

Firstly, I will say the number one thing for anybody to do is to stay connected to their source (God) for we can't amount to anything without the help of God. The bible speaks a lot about FOCUS;

Colossians 3:2

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Proverbs 4:25

Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

WHY DO WE LOSE FOCUS?

When you start to lose sight of what matters in your life, it's usually a sign that it's time to eliminate the distractions and get focused again.

RELATIONSHIP

In everything, we need to stay FOCUSED. In marriage or relationship, if one starts to lose FOCUS on why you went into the relationship, you can be sure it would be a disaster.

Lots of homes or relationships are broken because of this. It starts with less attention to each other and more attention to other people out there.

If there is no genuine reason for the relationship in the first place, it will certainly come crashing down also.

MARRIAGE

A perfect examples is in two movies but before then I want to share a word from a wise lady friend of mine;

"Dear queen,

The ring on your ring finger is not what makes the difference, your status didn't change because you said yes to prince charming. It changed the day you said YES to the LORD.

Oh, haven't you read? Isaiah 54:5 Indeed, your husband is your maker. His name is Yaweh of host. How well you manage this relationship will determine how far you will go with the mortal man(your spouse).

While you wait for prince charming, dear lady, can you nurture this one first?

He is still in the business of giving good gifts to his children ( husband inclusive)"... Alfa Goodness

First movie is ACRIMONY a marriage without FOCUS because beauty and love isn't enough to pick a Spouse and when the devil came the home fell. The second movie is WAR ROOM another home with FOCUS, the devil came to shake it and God saved them because they asked for help and reconnected the FOCUS they lost.

EDUCATION

A lot is going on with our teens out there even at primary schools kid are now having dates instead if FOCUSING on education.

Scanning social media while listening to a lecture. Watching a favorite television series while studying. Today's young adult/teens frequently juggle multiple streams of information and entertainment media while doing schoolwork, a trend that researchers call distracted learning.

If a child or person is in a right frame of mind, distractions will never be an issue because all FOCUS is put to work to get the set goal.

*******

If one is to list all that there is that causes us to lose FOCUS it really won't end on these episode

Whether it's fatigue, distractions, lack of motivation, or something else entirely, our inability to focus digs a hole in our productivity and limits our chances of success.

Maintaining focus is equally about taking care of your mental space and your body, as it is grinding through work. By eliminating distractions, investing time in maintaining physical and mental wellness, instituting healthy habits and improve your productivity.

Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely)

HOW TO STAY FOCUSED

While success demands many things from us, willpower and determination always come up at the top of the list. Many people believe that we are born with determination and those that succeed are simply the fortunate ones who are born with an abundant supply. But if you ask any successful person they will tell you they were not born with more determination; they always found a way to harness and use what they have more effectively.

1. SET UP YOUR DAY THE NIGHT BEFORE

Getting into the habit of planning your day in advance will remove your easiest decisions from the table, making it easier to avoid getting sidetracked and wasting time and energy on small, unimportant things.

2. DO THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS FIRST

The most difficult duties will not get easier the more we fret about them or put them off. We will only waste energy that would be better spent by just digging in. Get after the hardest job right away while you are still fresh and have the energy.

Research has shown that our minds are sharpest in the morning and that is when we should tackle the tough jobs. After these are out of the way, we can relax and take care of the more routine work that doesn’t require much in the way of mental strain, ability, and energy.

3. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS AND TIME WASTERS

FOCUSED person who is very busy and over time you will be bothered less by trivial, time-wasting matters.

4. REGENERATE AND KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY

Take a quick break when working on something if you feel your energy fading. Take a brisk walk, run, stretch, or do whatever creates results for you to take a brief retreat from the work and regenerate. You will come back to your task with renewed vigor and a sharper mental FOCUS.

5. CONSTANTLY REMIND YOURSELF OF YOUR ULTIMATE GOALS

Create a vision board, a mind movie, or some system that serves as a constant reminder of what you are working toward. The “why” behind the goal is crucial as it will serve as a motivator.

N.B.

Religious or not, without the appropriate FOCUS needed one can't amount to anything. What is the purpose of having a set goal when you will only end up not putting you 100% attention into making it come to pass...?
