When You Focus

A lot of people say that when you don’t focus on the results, you’ll actually see that you do better because you can be more relaxed and do something just for the sake of doing it. I have found that this just isn’t true. I have found that if you focus on something, then that’s the results you will get. If you have a goal in mind, then it is much easier to get the results that you want.

If you don’t focus, then any good outcome becomes good luck. We all want to know that we did our best to succeed, right?

What are you focused on?

    If you aim at nothing you’ll hit it.
    Shoot for the stars and you’ll at least hit the moon.

    If not having focus would accomplish what we want, every person on the planet would be walking around with 6-pack abs and tons of money. It takes focus and dedication to seeing the things you want come to pass.
