focus

Do you find that some days you just feel invincible and you can practically achieve that particular goal you'd been thinking about so much? The mental picture of you, feeling ecstatic that you'd finally done something you're really proud of yourself for. You are so sure that you will be able to do what you need to do, in order to be there, because you are affirmed in your mind that the only reason you hadn't was because of yourself. And today is going to be the day that you will stop all the self sabotage, that in procrastinating, you will actually do more harm than it being status quo. Well, these are the feel-good days.  And, pretty much, far and between for me.

Because, more often than not, you are presented with more trying days. Days when you wake up and just literally flopped back into bed for another couple of minutes of sleep, that turned into hours, and before you knew it, the day is almost over, with nothing on the to-do list checked.

Sometimes,  other matters just keep popping up, distracting you from all the things that needs to be done. Sometimes, your emotional self just creeps up your back and shadows you around,  and then, before you knew it, you are in the company of other friends, like self doubts, lazy ass and over thinking. 

And to put it bluntly, this is the time when you should take out your little mind tool, named Focus! It's an actual word, though some people like to think it is 'Follow One Course Until Success'. And this, my friend, is why you should really 'black and white' your goals. Meaning? you may ask.

It's putting down your goals in words, or pictures. Something which has a physical presence. The human mind, in my humble opinion, can be pretty forgetful at all. And this 'black and white' will remind you not to stray off the course that you'd mapped, lest you regret allowing yourself to let it all slides. I'm going to start mine. Have you, yours? Do share.
