focus

To some, one of the most intriguing mysteries are how some people are successful, some are completely helpless and the rest (and maybe the majority) are in between those categories.

I get that feeling before of being helpless and not yourself. Apparently it’s a matter of will that actually breaks the cycle of defeat in the mind. That’s what I call it. A defeat in the mind. Because in that condition we are usually defeated and easily give up before trying what we set out.

Not knowing what you want to do in life aggravates the situation. Because we see ourselves forever at the will of destiny and fate. Eventually life means going through the motion, consuming what we can. The problem here is not necessarily about consuming, but rather what we don’t do – which is producing.

What else is there in life other than senseless consuming? It mostly is always producing – making and contributing something to the world. Making this world and life better is perhaps fundamentally a common definition of success.

As we learn about ourself and realise our potential the conclusion that people after the fog has settled is that life has such a strong meaning when we do our part in the well-being of ourselves and others. It will drive us and give us focus.
