Stay Balanced, Stay Focused
Would you be able to look back at your school years and what you had gone through to arrive at wherever you are at present in your life? Have you had a compelling journey? It's funny looking back, I did not realize how fast time flies. You see, the majority of the time when we are excessively focused on our objective we don't really take notice of the events that are happening around us.
Did you notice that while you are focused on doing something, you don't truly give your full attention to what you see, listen to and feel? As an example, I have no doubt that you're not giving any attention to the skin on the lowest part of your feet. Is it warm or is it cold? What about your breathing?
I have learned to accept, like any other things, there are pros and cons to when you're extremely focused on your objectives. The pros are you of course, you get to accomplish your objectives extremely fast, you're also able to disregard every last trace of the crap that is happening in your life while the cons are, you'll most likely miss out on the great things that are currently happening around your life and possibly lose some of your closest friends.
However it is commendable that we have the will to accomplish our objectives as fast as we could, but, we will still need to figure out the right balance in our life while still staying as focused as possible.
The 3 keys to stay focused while still maintaining balance
Friends - I don't know about you, but I'd like to be by my friend's side whenever they really need me, if I could help it, I would not want to miss out on the important events happening in their lives. Though, I have to confess, this is due to the fact that I consider myself to have the best group of friends that anybody could ever ask for, they are some of my biggest supporters, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have got to where I am today.
Family - My family, even though they can be real hard on me at times, that does not change the fact that they would always continue to love me for who I am. They'd keep up with my stubbornness no matter how stupid it was, I would always dive in head first and in the end, they will be the ones who pick me back up. I could never ask for a better family.
Appreciation - Always remember to be thankful for each of the things that you have achieved, be thankful to yourself and to the others who have helped you to achieve it. I have learned that by acknowledging and being thankful for every one of the small successes I accomplished, I am more appreciative of the things that I acquired. I am more determined to continue push myself to achieve bigger goals. Being appreciative has got to be the most important vehicle to success. Start expressing your appreciation and you'll start to notice how grand the planet is, by treasuring other individuals, they'll learn to treasure you as well.
That is all my friends, may you have a focused and meaningful life ahead of you. Success will not come easy but once you learn to cherish and appreciate the goodness around you, you'll start to achieve even grander things in life.
