Focus on yourself. This is Noelle Randall with a very important message for you.
The only easy and effective way to improve the quality of your life
is to focus on the quality of your life. You may want to listen to that again but you see there is
no two way about it. You can't improve the quality of your life without first focusing on yourself.
How much time you spend improving the quality of your self-worth determines how your life
will eventually turn out to be. It takes focus to achieve greatness in life. Those who focus on
themselves will always remain on course, no matter the distractions that come their way. People tend
to be easily distracted simply because they lack focus. You can't be focused and be distracted at
the same time. One must give in for the other to come in. Now, listen to me. You've got everything
that can help you live a beautiful and successful life, but because you've refused to look inward
and focus on yourself for a moment, you're intrinsically blind to these potentials of
you. This is the time for you to just look inward and unravel those hidden potentials of yours.
In the words of Les Brown, when you shift your attention to yourself, there are countless
opportunities to explore. Did you hear that? It means that if you pay attention to what others are
doing and other people's stuff that are not much relevant or important, your eyes will be blind to
those hidden opportunities that lie within you. So, friends, it's time to shift attention to yourself
and explore all that God has invested in you. Sid you hear that I used the word invested? Yeah,
because the divine creator has invested so much in you with the expectation that you will
give a good return on the investment, ROI. But unfortunately you've not invested in yourself.
You've allowed all that investment to lie to waste without any corresponding profit
simply because you failed to take out time to focus and discover what's inside of you.
You have focused on others for too long, you've been playing the good girl or good guy for
too long by focusing on others. Friend, it's time to shift the attention to yourself, yeah.
You now need to focus on yourself for a moment and bring out the best in you.
Now, listen to me. You can't be of help to someone else until you first help yourself and by the time
you make yourself strong, that self-strength will seamlessly spill over to everyone else.
They will be inspired by you, they will follow your example. It's that simple and easy but it
starts with self-focus. Some say focusing on yourself is selfish but that's a big fat lie.
Rather I will tell you to settle for a mediocre life that you hate is what is selfish because
that will be replicated for many generations to come until someone decides to act otherwise and
to change the tide. Huh, is that you? So what then do you want? Is it not better to focus on yourself
and make the best out of it than to focus on others and settle for a lesser version of you?
Friend, you owe it to yourself to see how far you can go in life.
You owe it to yourself to earn the kind of money that you want to.
You owe it to earn the money that you want to earn, you owe it to yourself to be the kind of person
you want to be, to feel the vibes you want to feel, you owe it to yourself. No one else. You owe it to
yourself to be great, you owe it to yourself and no one else. All you do is focus on you.
Focus requires for you to channel all the strength and energy to a particular course
until you achieve your desired result or goal. You can't focus on too many things at the same
time and expect to achieve success. Let me say that again. You can't focus on too many things
at the same time and expect to achieve success because success demands singleness of purpose.
In the words of the great late Dr. Wayne Dyer, self-actualizing people, highly functioning people
who live at extraordinary levels of awareness train their minds to focus on what they intend
to create and what they intend to manifest and they won't let anybody change their mind.
That is to say for you to truly focus or truly be focused, you need to train your
mind because it is the nature of people to be distracted by the happenings around.
Unless your mind is trained to focus on the things that matter, you're most likely to be distracted.
Now, listen to this short story. One day the Zen instructor wanted to teach his students
a new technique of shooting an arrow. He told his students to cover his eyes with a cloth
and then he shot his arrow. When he opened his eyes, he saw the target with no arrow in it and
when he looked at his students they looked embarrassed because their teacher had missed.
The Zen master asked them what lesson do you think I intend to teach you all today?
They answered, we thought you would show us how to shoot at the target without looking.
The Zen master said no, I taught you that if you want to be successful in life, don't forget
the target. You have to keep an eye on the target otherwise you may miss a good opportunity in life.
They looked at each other impressed with the lesson.
Whoa, did you learn anything relating to the power of focus from that story? Whatever you desire
in your life, maybe the key to achieving it is focus. You've got to aim and focus on your target
if you must achieve that your desired result. Did you know human beings think about 50
thousand to 70,000 thoughts a day? Some people say it's millions but on the minimum, just mental
chatter images or movies playing in our head. 95% of these thoughts are repetitive of the previous days
and 80% of the habitual thoughts are negative. Oh, what a staggering statistic,
but then in order for you to achieve success, you need to learn how to focus on all these
thoughts of what you want. Yeah, you need to focus on what you want, focus on what is important to you
and relevant to your life goals. Not everything that glitters is gold. A person without a focus
is a person without purpose. A person without a purpose is a person without direction. A person
without a specific direction in life will settle for any location as his or her final destination.
So, when you lack focus, you become easily distracted by every side attraction thereby
shifting you from your destination. Remember, just a step away from your direction will
lead you further apart from your destination. You need to go into direction of your destination and
stay focused on your destination and stay in the direction of your destination. Don't get distracted.
I know that was a lot to take in but you get it and it's easy to understand.
Now, hear this. This is the big question. What do you really want in life?
Until you are able to answer that question with so much level of certainty and confidence,
you're not ready to focus. You must first know what you want so that you can focus on what you want.
You will be able to define what you clearly want before you focus all your intention on
achieving it. So, let's say that in the positive. You want to clearly
know what you want and then focus all of your attention on achieving it. It's just that simple.
Knowing what you want helps you to channel all of your energy, your time and your every resource
into what is needed in the realization of your dream and your aspiration.
Isn't that awesome? People often ask Noelle, so how did you go- how did you get to multi-millionaire
from your parents basement and of course the answer is focus, but at first it was risk.
Me taking a little bit of risk me being different you know trying to do things
differently but it was focus that got me to multi-millionaire Let me explain. Noelle used to
live in her parents basement. I was bankrupt, I was foreclosed on, I had no money, I had bad credit,
I had 2 kids with one on the way, it was a bad situation and I cancelled a course at my college
because I was going to school too to try to get my life back on track. I cancelled a college course in
order to pay for a real estate coach that taught me what I do now and make millions of dollars with
but I ended up going back to work even after I'd learned this great skill
and it was me wanting to quit my job so that I could be the multi-millionaire and live the
life of my dreams that was focus, that I had to focus in order to quit my job, my 6-figure job
and become a multi-millionaire, I need to focus on one thing. I focused on one thing.
So, here are a few thoughts on how you can have more focus. First, you need to get better acquainted
with yourself. Building a strong self-relationship is a great way to focus on yourself. When you feel
uncertain about your identity, that can make it tough to get clarity on what you want in life.
Without some familiarity of yourself, you can't do much to achieve your goals, live
according to your values or get your needs met so get familiar with yourself. Know who you are,
who you are, not what other people told you but who you are.
Number 2, 2nd, make sure you're seeking out what you really want.
You have been familiar with yourself, there's now you need to vigorously pursue what you truly want.
Some of you care so much about what your friends or your loved one wants for you while you abandon
what you truly want and desire. But if you must focus your attention properly on yourself, make
sure you are passionately pursuing what you want in life and then lastly, avoid the comparison trap.
Stop measuring yourself against other people, they, they, they, measuring by other people and they.
You compare yourself just to you because you are wise and you make great decisions.
Did you hear that? It is unwise to compare yourself with other people whom you don't know their life
goals or their ambitions. You don't know who they are nor do you care, you only have your life to
live so live it. Most people compare themselves to other on occasion, probably feel a little envious
of a particular friend who always seems to be happy, if only I had this or that, well you would be
happy. You don't have to worry about other people. Their happiness does not stem from different
things, your happiness does not either. You have everything that you need to do and every goal,
every resource, everything that you need you have. So, remember only focus your mind on you. Only the
focus mind can truly maximize and achieve their full potential. This is Noelle, to your success.
