Day 138 (A Hundred & Thirty-Eight) of 365 days

Why is being focused so important in today’s world? What results happen when you’re focused? Does being focused make you less stressed? Happier? If it’s so important why don’t people focus more?

Being focused on one thing for a certain period allows you to do a better quality of work, more work gets done quicker, and your creative ideas flow easier. Being focused on one task at a time is less stressful on your mind. And being less stressed allows you to be happier.

What is not generally known is that a concentrated mind succeeds not only because it can solve problems with greater dispatch, but also because problems have a way of somehow vanishing before its focused energies, without even requiring to be solved. A concentrated mind often attracts opportunities for success that, to less focused individuals, appear to come by sheer luck.

A person whose mind is concentrated receives inspiration in his work and his thinking that, to duller minds, may often seem the proof of special divine favor. Yet such seeming “favors” are due simply to the power of concentration. Concentration awakens our powers and channels them, dissolving obstacles in our path, attracting opportunities, insights, and inspirations. In many ways, concentration is the single most important key to success.

With the development of technology, we started living in a fast world. In other words, we are quickly jumping from task to task and we are not accomplishing each task fully. There is a serious consequence affecting us; we all have a common concentration problem in the modern world. We, of course, need to keep paying attention to learn and remember things, but the essential problem is how to make ourselves more attentive and focused. We first learn to focus by making ourselves do it repeatedly until it becomes a habit, a way of thinking.

The more focused we are, the more successful we can be at whatever we do. And, conversely, the more distracted we are, the less well we do.
