Hello fellow Steemians, is been a while, I have been away for a while but I'm back for good to do what I do best. Today I want to throw more lights on how we should focus on one single goal. We all have numerous dreams we want to pursue but if we focus on one and give it time and attention we will go far and excel. But when we decide to pursue all our dreams at a ago it will turn out to be to failure. As we take clues from great people who have made it they focused on single aims and made it in life.
Our brains act like a beachball loaded with honey bees. Hundreds of conflicting drives, pushing us in different directions.
A lot people never want to do one thing. We want to do so many things at the same time. We simultaneously want to exercise and to learn Chinese and to go out for pizza. Our desires are countless, independent agents, working to poke our beachball in their own selfish direction.

And so mostly, that ball is going nowhere. It’s controlled more by the terrain than by the will of what’s inside it.
This is how most people live their lives. We feel endlessly conflicted. We never have enough time. And what happens to us is stronger than our ability to combat it. Let’s fix that.
The curse of the ‘great idea’

Imagine if some years ago you were a genius who had the idea of starting up Google, and Amazon, and Steemit.
You just imagined three of the best business thoughts of the most recent century, and in the event that you had begun any of them you could now be worth billions. Be that as it may, in the event that you were resolved to do all three simultaneously you'd be totally nowhere.
It's insufficient to have great thoughts. Bunches of individuals have awesome thoughts. The issue is that excessively numerous awesome thoughts counteract each other.
This is why a committee of smart people is called an “idiot”. Leadership doesn’t work in volume. The more directions you’re being pulled in, the less distance you’ll travel.
How individuals accomplish the impossible

Envision a madly eager objective for yourself. Let's assume you need to write a book, or land on Mars.
In the event that you totally needed to do that – if your life and the lives of everyone you cared about relied on it – how would you? How could you?
You'd just need to drop everything else . You'd turned out to be one giant honey bee, pushing in one direction, and you'd move, rapidly:
Monomaniacal focus on a single goal is perhaps the ultimate success stratagem. It’s a pattern found in everyone from Edison to Einstein. When you’re able to focus on a single goal, constantly, your achievements reach their theoretical limit:
Most people aren’t failing single quickest way to ensure failure. And putting your all into a single direction is the quickest way to ensure success.
How to tame the swarm
You will always want to attempt more than you can achieve.
Unfortunately pulling yourself in an excessive number of directions is the single speediest approach to guarantee failure. Also, putting your everything into a solitary direction is the fastest method to guarantee success.

So try this:
1. Dream big. In the event that your desires are little, they're effortlessly overwhelmed. Enormous objectives are incomprehensibly more inclined to stick since they're worth disregarding littler objectives for.

2. Point of confinement to three. Keep up to three records for various parts of your life – say 'work', 'home' and 'weekend'. Each rundown just gets one target. If you absolutely must have more, just know that each addition quarters the odds of that area succeeding.
3. Put it off. Anything which isn't top need now should be possible ideally later.
There are things you need to do first before the other as simple as that.
Your objectives are the same, you're simply as a rule excessively appended, making it impossible to them at the time to take note.
4. Be careful your idle wants . Watch out for 'different things that you additionally need'. They will feel ameliorating, safe, and programmed. They are destructive.
One new direction will quarter what you can achieve.
5. Line up your honey bees . You will most likely be unable to make the next Google, cure cancer and arrive on Mars in the meantime.
But you might be able to simultaneously become, say, a successful and athletic CEO. Success and fitness can be complementary goals: a healthier person can be a better leader. They’re like two bumblebees, pushing in the same direction, and stronger for it.
The few individuals who have accomplished the most stunning, world changing things with their lives didn't do as such by separating their expectations. They aimed high, got their honey bees in line, and said no to the various opportunities that life presented them.

If you want the power to follow your dreams, you have to say no to all the alternatives. It’s not easy, but if that’s for you, at least you know the price.
I hope this post inspire you for greater heights. To me everything is possible is all about hard work, time and determination. Thanks for reading.
