Focus on the goals, not the obstacles. There are what we call side distractions; everyone has their own distractions; it could be family, children, job, lack of money, friends, etc. Whatever your case may be, distraction is an obstacle, and you need to pay less attention to it and maintain focus.

Always remember, your focus determines your reality! Do you even have a focus? Do you even dream big or small? Do you have where you are going to, or are you just here as an escort? How do you see yourself, and who are you?

First, you need to answer these questions about yourself; only then can you be able to maintain focus. Understanding is the first step, because when you lack understanding, you perish. The Bible said it; I didn't.

An illustration from the Bible;

When John was asked by Jesus to walk on water and come to him, he maintained focus, and at first instant, he was walking gently to where Jesus was, but all of a sudden, he lost focus; he got distracted by the waves and storm, and then he began to sink.

Now, the general notion there is focus; remember that when he was focused, he was successful, but when he lost focus, he became a failure.

Don't dwell on what went wrong or what is happening; maintain focus. Dwelling in the past brings you to your zero level; nothing adds and nothing subtracts.

It is important to know that life is a race, and the earlier you know, the better. Life is a race, and everyone is in their lane, which is family tree. Your lane in life is that family you are coming from.

You can switch lane if you are getting distractions from your lane; yes, you can. If you are in a family where you are always disturbed by your parents to get married because your mates are all married, then that is a distraction from getting your dreams.

Switching lanes means you have to give a little distance from them seeing you every day. You could travel or get your apartment and stay alone; that way they allow you to be, except for when they call in the phone.

Pressure to do something is a distraction, and you lose focus when you are distracted, especially when you know who you are, what you want, where you are from, and where you are going.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. There is always light at the end of a tunnel; what happens inside the tunnel when you are distracted? It means total darkness would swallow you up.

Do you know your thoughts could be a distraction? I mean, what you have in mind could be a distraction from you moving forward, from you getting that promotion, from you getting married, from you having children.

Our thoughts play 90% role in our outcome. I mean, what we have in our minds is what we see in our outside because our minds control our lives. That is why the devil does not come physical; he plays and devices through the mind, and once your mind is captured, then the rest is achieved.

You want to achieve great things in life; remain focused and avoid distractions. Distraction can bring you down to zero, and you are left with nothing.
