You may wonder as there are so many different barriers which let us not to achieve our dream, why should stay focused be on the list? I'm just giving examples to clear it up!
Recall what you wanted to be when you were a teenager or at college/university. Do you make yourself there or you are far away from what you decided in your heart. Maybe you already get the answer.
It's not always possible to be on the right path, there are so many things happen around, focusing on certain things becomes impossible. Our life changes over time, our thought, way of living, belief, knowledge everything changes. It makes us a different human over time. But in this long run, one thing can help us to be on the right track, to get what we wanted to be is Staying focused. It's not like, we decided to achieve something and a few years later we will discover ourselves in that position. We all know this, right.?
Sometimes we do not consider to be focused on our goal, rather we give much effort to our current work and invest everything on our current work. This single thing is enough to distract us from our goal. I have seen so many people who feel bad in their old age, that why they did not save some money; or people who desired to be an architect but ended up as a civil engineer. It's not like we do not know our goal but sometimes many other things force us to leave our track and follow something else to achieve.
The first thing we can do to stay focused is not seeing any achievement as an Event. Like if we can lose 10 kg, we will be in shape. Rather we should start practicing thinking this way as if we can lose 10 kg we will try to hold it there and continue our healthy lifestyle so that our weight will be consistent. Or like, if we can get a certain award for our business, our business will get the limelight and we are all set. Rather we should learn to see the big picture and hold up there.
I know not staying focus is one of the common virtue of human beings. There is no single one who does not get distracted. But at the end who is focused on their goal is the ultimate winner!
