Direction and Focus

What is important is not so much where we are but where we are going.

It is a great idea to decide on a goal or a direction in life, for without aim or direction progress may be slow.Setting goals gives us direction and allows us to take decisions based on what we want to achieve. If we do not set any goals then our next step could be in any direction and will not necessarily take us where we want to be.Achieving even the smallest goal brings joy, a sense of satisfaction, and makes the time spent on it seem worthwhile. Think of something that you would really like to do, then set about doing it. Go to the zoo, read that book, whatever it is, just do it.

Be focused on the job at hand. Concentrate and do it well.

Being focused makes an enormous difference in our capacity to achieve goals. Whether they are short or long term goals, focusing on them enhances our abilities and makes it easier to get the job done.Have faith that any goal is achievable if you work at it hard enough.

A Journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step.

Achieving any goal, great or small, is just a series of steps. Taken piece at a time, any task is simple. It is important to have a goal but our aim should be to complete the next step.

Keep updating your goals as you should always have something to strive for.

It is important to continually review our goals and set ourselves some new ones. If we find ourselves without something to strive for we may lose direction and momentum.
