Sir,

In this world of challenges, frustratio­ns, personal attacks, betrayals and chaotic experience­s, it’s easy for focus to be lost. In this age of constant change, the ability to focus and weed out distractio­ns is imperative to one’s quantum leaps in personal, spiritual, financial and profession­al growth. Many of us don’t focus well, and this might be one of the reasons we ultimately end up defeated and disillusio­ned.

Being and remaining focused is one of the key ingredient­s to succeeding at anything we do. Life is about forward movement and change. This should be done in the context of our identity, purpose, vision, talents and destiny.

Any action taken in pursuit of vision must be of necessity focused in order to produce desired results. Focus is the power that aligns us to what is important at different seasons of our lives. Usually unrealised dreams are the result of blurred focus.

Life

Life doesn’t just happen, it’s all about choices and how one responds to positive and negative situations. Our daily choices will ultimately determine whether the country moves forward or it will remain the same year after year.

Government’s past mistakes must be used to fuel us back on course. Every mistake, challenge or problem must be perceived by us as an opportunit­y and possibilit­y for a better and new beginning. When it makes up its mind about what we want to achieve, government can catapult us into a focused nation.

It is imperative that we identify and eliminate activities, habits and certain toxic relationsh­ips that hinder us from staying focused on things that matter for all. Let us get rid of all negative thought patterns, fear, slander, gossip, time wasting and destiny altering activities. We must respect and appreciate the past, and all its lessons, but we must not allow either our negative or positive experience­s to imprison our potential, creativity, dreams and our ability to do things differentl­y. In spite of the hiccups of the journey of life, let’s keep on dreaming for a better future in our families, communitie­s and nation.
