Focus

If you think of your life as a journey and your overarching goal as the destination, the destination can be very clear but the path to get there is mired in fog. 

Your focus, your ability to ignore distractions and focus on doing repetitions and iterations of essential tasks determines your ability to make progress towards your goals. 

Distractions are what cause you to deviate from the path, the essential tasks, and move away from your destination, your goals. 

You know that you must take action and determine the most important tasks but what to focus on is also foggy, opaque. 

Without making a decision and taking focused, repeated action on that decision, you can’t make progress down the path. 

You can’t reflect on if you have been walking on the path without repetitions and time. The more reps you make, the more steps you take. The longer this takes you, the longer it takes to clearly see the path behind you and if you have been moving towards or away from the destination. 

You must make a decision, yet it’s impossible to know if it is the right one without repetition and time. 

So you never know if you have been wasting time, moving down the wrong path until the time has passed.
