Focus

It’s easy to tell people to focus on something and that they’ll be rewarded for their efforts. The actual process of staying focused is a lot harder than some may think. It takes a lot of discipline and conscious effort to genuinely stay focused and to concentrate on the things that mean the most to you without being distracted. Distractions are a part of life. The way we respond to the things that try to hinder us will eventually determine where we go and the success that we achieve. When you’re committed to a process and you give everything of your being to stay determined on that thing, your chances of success increases significantly. It would be a lie to say that just because you’re focused, achievements are guaranteed. Nothing in life is guaranteed but you can rest assured that God has a plan for your life to take you somewhere that you’ve never been. To places that you’ve never seen and to come into contact with people who can help change your life forever. As we humble ourselves and understand that everything we have is a true blessing, this is when we will be exalted. I like to think that if we focus on God, the journey will take care of itself. Previously I would have said focus on your journey and not the destination. Time and experiences have altered my thought process slyly to believing that if we keep our eyes on God alone we will surely have everything that we could ever need. The journey is made easier when we focus on the one who is in control of it.

You will never have anything more deadly than the power of your mind. Every great thing you might go on to achieve in your life will begin with the thoughts that take place in your head. You can’t allow your ego to get in the way of your progress. Some people are hindered on the journey towards greatness because they feel entitled to success before they’ve even done anything to warrant that breakthrough ! Every single day you have to get up and get to work ! It’s not a facade and you cannot cheat the process. You will only get out what you put in and that is a fact. I don’t believe in luck but I do believe that the more you work hard and stay focused on what you need to do, the more things start to work in your favour. Focus on God and he will give you peace. Everything that you want Him to do in your life is not a challenge for him. There’s nothing too difficult for the most high God. If you keep your focus on Him he will surely give you peace. All the battles that we try to face on our own are just draining us when this life is meant to be enjoyed and not endured. Trust in Him with all your heart and you will not be disappointed.

Romans 12:2 reads ”Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind”. I can openly say that it’s easy to be led by the patterns of the world because in simpler terms you’re just doing what everyone else is doing. Majority of the time it may seem like there’s nothing wrong with that. What we have to understand is that to go to places people have never been, we have to do the things that people aren’t willing to do. That includes a lot of sacrifices and potentially being seen as different to everyone else. But why should we care about what everyone else is doing ? Your hustle and my hustle are two completely different things so we should all do whatever it takes to get there regardless of how we may be perceived by people. When you allow your mind to be renewed there is a peace that surpasses human comprehension waiting for you to receive it. Your mind is set above all minor things and you’re no longer concerned about the things that may have held you back in the past. Dedicate the last weeks of 2021 to focusing on God, yourself and everything that you want to achieve and watch how things turn around for the better. For who God bless no man can curse. Be patient but be confident as you wait. For the Lord strengthens those who wait on him. As you run you won’t grow weary IJMN. Amen.

“Focus on you until the focus is on you”

Thank you for your time
