Choose Your Focus

Jun 30, 2022 1:49 pm

Hey there ,



I had a session with this client who has everything going on well for her in all aspects, her marriage is great, her business is thriving and she has attained her ideal weight but she was so unhappy with her life.


Always looking at the next thing and ignoring what is already working. She always focused on what is not working or what needs to be done.  


It happens to a lot of us. And here is the thing about focus, what you focus on grows.


When you focus on your physical health, it gives results.


When you focus on making a great presentation at work and practice it, you deliver.


What you choose to put your mind to and work on always gives you results.


If you focus on how you are not enough and why nothing works in your life then you will feel like nothing ever works.


Like my clients above, things were great but she just needed to shift her focus on how things have been working so well in her life as compared to focusing so much on the minor things that are not working which in turn makes her feel like a failure.


After shifting her focus, her life got better and happier she is now working on the other things in her life with positivity and gratitude.


But if you choose to focus on how you can get better; maybe in your side hustle or in any aspect and you put in the work then you will get results. The problem is we give up too soon. We want things to happen without any actions, then walk around complaining that nothing is working.


The question is not the focus, the question is what to focus on.


As a coach i come across many clients who focus on the wrong things and what is not working in their lives, and when you focus on that you feel demotivated and start thinking that no matter what you do, you don’t get the results you want.

But is that true?


Choose to focus on things that move you forward and set milestones in your journey to attaining the overall results.


In your growth journey it's also very important to stop and notice the milestones you have reached so far in order to get motivated to continue doing the work.


It’s the journey that matters most, not the destination. Because before you arrive that destination you have to embark on a journey most are not familiar with.


It's the journey that we always talk about, it’s the journey that teaches us all the lessons we need to learn.


Remember the importance of consistency. Success is a lot to do with consistency. Don’t give up too soon. The people who started from scratch and are thriving now, did not have it easy, they focused on the right things and were consistent. And so can you.


I want to challenge you to put your focus on things and areas that will improve your life for the better. If you are struggling in an area of your life then instead of focusing on why you can’t do it, focus on all the reasons why you can do it and why you deserve it.


You are your own limit.  And whether you think you can or you can’t, you are right because you determine that. 


Am just here to challenge you and to get you thinking. All the best as you put your focus where it should be.



In any way you need a hand to hold you, you can reach out.
