FINDING MY FOCUS
by Jennifer Ezuh

In earlier posts I have dealt with the issue of focus and really finding out why being successful is important to you. It is only when you have truly committed to this search that you will be able to lead a purposeful and driven life.
Having said that it is not always clear cut finding out what it is that drives one to success. Most times it is cumulative of a combination of factors. But, the answer to the quest sometimes lies in the journey itself because it is only in the course of the journey to finding your focus that you will truly begin to explore the depths of your being.
As a guide the following questions could help;

What am I passionate about?
What are my goals and objectives?
What are my valuable treasures?
What are my talents?
What activities do I derive the most joy from?
What value do I add to the people around me?

As a starting point, these will enable you to start taking the steps that will ultimately bring you into your focus.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: 21 Time Management Tips to Hack Productivity

Image
By  Jordan Bates   Synopsis “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr. A lot of folks in our society try to be hyper-productive. You know — the people who scurry from task to task, always checking e-mail, organizing something, making a call, running an errand, etc. The people who do this often subscribe to the idea that “staying busy” means you’re working hard and are going to be more successful. While this belief may be true to an extent, it often leads to mindless “productivity” — a constant need to do something and a tendency to waste time on menial tasks. Instead of behaving in this way, I choose to do things differently. Working Smarter, Not Harder The old adage, “work smarter, not harder” has become a staple in the way I go about work of an...

‘If we cannot see the possibility of greatness, how can we dream it?’ Lydia Sweatt   October 13, 2016 Greatness comes from the desire to do extraordinary things—to reach beyond the status quo and relentlessly chase your dreams.

We Should Admire Success, Whether It’s Ours or Somebody Else’s by Paul June

Did someone change the dictionary and not bother to tell me? Methinks so, because “success” seems to have become a four-letter word overnight. When I was growing up (you know, back in the day when we had to walk 20 miles to school, uphill both ways), success was something to be admired, something to strive for. But now, success seems to be something to view with contempt and scorn, as though someone else’s success must have happened at the expense of your good fortune (or someone else’s). Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the good outweigh the bad by far. Success should be celebrated, admired, honored.  Why?  When someone gets a bonus at work, or some other form of recognition, are you happy for him or her—even when you get no such recognition? Or do you become overwhelmed with the feeling of sour grapes  (or bananas) , wishing it was you in the spotlight? What about when a family member or friend is the center of attention at your latest gatherin...
