1. By Focusing On Jesus
"[looking away from all that will distract
us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith
[the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to
maturity],"
Hebrews 12:2a AMP
Focusing on God helps you to cut off the many distractions that the devil throws at you. Focusing on Jesus puts the fear of God in you, which invariably gives birth to the wisdom of God in you for a successful life.
You will agree that there are many things
fighting for your attention, but if you learn to focus on God through His Son
Jesus, everything will fall in place.
Besides, then will you be able to clearly define your goals and purpose in life.
2. Set-Up Clear Goals
At different points in your life, you must learn to set up SMART goals that are aimed at helping you to get to your proposed destination. This will start by having a clear purpose for your life. If you are having challenges with setting a clear goal for your life, know that a relationship with God will help you in this regard. You might also need to speak with a Counselor. If you need to consult a Counselor in this regard, I am available to help you.
When you have no idea where you are going, then it becomes very easy to be carried away with the wind of pleasure that comes, but when your goals are set clearly, you will be able to keep your focus.
3. Avoid Distraction
Allowing distractions in your life will either slow you down to your purpose or it will stop you from getting to your glorious destiny. You must learn to take charge of your life by not yielding the control of your life to another and by having the right priority in life, putting people and things where they belong.
4. Daily Habits
Success in life doesn’t come as magic! You can only achieve your goals by developing daily habits of productive activities that will bring you closer to achieving your goals on a daily basis.
You should ask yourself, “what should I be doing daily, that will bring me closer to my destiny?”
If you are a student, developing the habit of daily reading and studying is a good habit you should form.
Depending on your field and goal, look for the habits that you can cultivate to make you outstanding in your field.
Taking giant steps in life is good, but developing a productive daily habit is a steady path to attaining it.
5. Develop Discipline
To stay focused in the pursuit of your goal, you must be disciplined. Discipline is necessary because you will not always be motivated. You will have reasons to quit, but discipline will keep you on track.
It is good to have wonderful goals, but if you lack discipline, you will never attain your goal. The level of success you will ever achieve is determined by the level of your discipline.
Discipline will sure help you to stay focused.
6. Surround Yourself with Motivators and
Encouragers
"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of Counselors there is safety."
Proverbs 11:14
Surrounding yourself with people of the same value and people that motivate and encourage you towards your goal will help you to stay focused. This is one of the secrets to my success as an individual.
The undoing of most people is that they run away from people that motivate and tell them the truth. This is very dangerous!
Your counselors, mentors and teachers are not just guides to you, but they also serve as guard to you helping you to stay on your line, keeping your focus.
7. Have Faith
Another factor that will help you to stay focused is to have faith that despite the uncertainties, you will one day achieve your goals. This is the confidence that things will go well despite the present challenges.
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
Mark 9:23
So, stay focused! Never forget that your ability to focus on what matters most will determine your results and your future.
