Namaste!
One thing that's very difficult in this world of distractions is staying focused and not getting distracted. Staying focused in this ever distracted world is one of the tasks everyone must perform before making progress in life and if one is not careful, one would just get derailed from his or her purpose in life to doing another thing entirely.
So, in lieu of this, and having said much about staying focused, I would like to share with us how I get myself to stay focused.

Just like I said earlier, one of the biggest tasks in this ever growing world is how to stay focused. But before I delve into the discussion properly, I would like to let us know that staying focused in this current dispensation is all about determination. Once one is not determined in this current world of ours, then distraction would take over that person. So, determination is the key to staying focused.
Now back to the discussion, the only way I have so far devised for myself to stay focused in this ever growing world of distraction is called self denial. One thing I have been doing and that's really working for me is to deny myself of some things that can get me distracted and this self denial of a thing really entails proper and unreserved discipline.
How do I deny myself to stay focused? As for me as a person, I deny myself to be carried away by what people say about my personality to stay focused.
There were times people talked or spoke ill about me and my personality, but one thing I have be doing as regard that is to act as if I have not heard what they have been saying about me or what they even meant about what they say about me and this is because i know it's a way through which I can be distracted from be focused.

Also, another way is by denying myself from seeing what would get me distracted from being focused. At times, when people act in a strange way in order to get me distracted, what I do is just to look away as if I have not seen anything. I could remember when I was in university back then, then, my colleagues in the department were fond of going to parties and doing all other exuberances, but as for me, i was always focused on my study and never got distracted by what they did.
In fact, some of them went on to say strange things about me, but you would never see me reacting to them. So, not reacting to them and denying myself from seeing their strange action towards me later paid off for me as I was able to graduate with first class from the department. Although, it's not as if I was not sociable at all, but I made sure I was not distracted nor derailed from my primary purpose in life.
In conclusion, my own way of staying focused in this ever growing world of distractions is to deny all my senses from seeing, hearing or feeling what people are saying, doing or acting to distract me from my life purpose.
