Do you have the key to achieving your dreams?
Personally I believe that each of us has the key to achieving our dreams we simply have to find it.
I believe the key to achieving your dreams lies in what you focus on.
Focus is the key to achieving your dreams.
There is an old saying that states, “What you think about you bring about.”
I have found this to be true throughout my life.
It has been a very difficult lesson for me to learn, I used to focus on problems and would inadvertently bring more problems into my life, I would focus on how I was going to pay my bills and more bills would arrive.
I am sure you have all experienced talking about someone and they miraculously walk through the door, or they ring you out of the blue.
I have found that there are two types of focus that will help you to achieve your dreams and I would like to share them with you right now.
1. Short term focus
Short term focus is like a child taking his very first steps, he is focused solely on putting one foot in front of the other, he has no concept of what direction he wants to go in, he simply takes a solitary step followed by another solitary step.
Your short term focus is based on the actions that you take on a daily basis to help you to achieve your dreams.
2. Long term focus
Long term focus is like the same child walking across the room to his mother for the very first time, he places one foot in front of the other and all he is focused on is getting to his mother, she waits patiently speaking words of encouragement to him as he takes step after step towards her loving outstretched arms.
These two types of focus are the key to achieving your dreams, you need to have short term focus for all the actions that you take on a daily basis that keep you moving in the right direction.
You also need to have long term focus, you must see the bigger picture, you must know which direction you are headed and why.
You use your short term focus to keep you aligned with your long term focus, they go hand in hand, one is dependant on the other.
If you can cultivate your short term and your long term focus then you can truly have the key to achieving your dreams.
