The Focused Life

Life has many distractions.  There are many things that clutter our mind and keep us from concentrating on achieving our goals.  We can let the smallest of distractions keep us from our focused life;  whether the goal is to read a book or lose ten pounds. 

Is there anything in your life that is distracting you from focusing on accomplishing your goals?

Paul talks about focusing his life goals in Philippians 3:14 when he said, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”  Paul focused on the future rather than the present.  While his life was wreaked up at times, he saw the bigger picture with clarity. 

Dale Carnegie said, “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”  There may be times life gets blurred and you have to re-focus the lens.  But by all means, keep on trying to keep the lens focused! Don’t allow the distractions to cause you to lose out in the end.

John Bradshaw said, “It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers -- they help us to learn.”  There will be many mistakes made in our pursuit of reaching our goals.  Learn from them, but don’t repeat them. 

As you strive to reach your goals in life, no matter if they are physical, spiritual, health, education or athletic, keep your life focused.  Don’t allow distractions to keep you from feeling the victories of reaching your desired goals!  You can do it!  Believe and stay distraction free!

Remember, Be God Controlled!
