"Success is simply learning how to focus." - Stephen R. Covey

If you want to accomplish one result at a time, you need to concentrate your focus on one goal at a time. It is in taking one step and making one decision.

It means bringing your attention and directing your whole energy toward the fulfillment of a particular task.

Whatever your goals happen to be, you will move closer to attaining them by concentrating on what you can do today.

How to fix your attention.

• Create clear positive mental pictures of the future.

Keep the pictures of what you want you want in the future always in your mind. Intensely imagine the accomplishment of your dream gets you excited. Your desires will drive you to make things happen.

Attune your effort and your thoughts daily with the success that you aspire to achieve. Eat, live and breathe your dream and make it the center of your activity.

Your feelings will follow the images in your mind. Once you are able to control your emotions, your state of mind is affected positively and you feel the energy to put in the time and the work.

The Silva Method is a tool that will guide you to get into the alpha state and reprogram your mind to create images of success.

• Concentrate on one goal at a time.

When your attention is out of control and scattered, you will feel stuck, incompetent and defeated.

You will notice too many distractions and clutters. You are unable to keep your eye and your mind straight on what has to get done.

The solution is to choose one goal at a time. When you give specific direction to your brain, it will go in the direction of your attention.

Use your skills and talents on activities that will produce the desired outcome. Your daily progress will push you further to direct and activate your creativity and effort.

• Catch yourself when you thoughts are scattered and switch back.

Your thoughts jump from one to another without you realizing. You need to pay attention and catch them when they are leading you into a downward spiral and moving you away from your goals.

You have to switch them and the recommended way is to pause and ask yourself questions. Concentrate on solutions to whatever is bothering you by asking your brain for answers.

Point back your thoughts to why and what you are doing in the present. Reflect on what you are doing and thinking.

Think of what you want and give your full attention over and over again. Put your heart and soul into your project and things will fall into place.
