Clear Vision

Some people have a vision for their life. They make plans. They set goals. They execute the vision. However, there are some people who have a plan, but never take the time to write it down. Writing is an important part of the vision planning process. There is a part of our brain that is stimulated when we write called the reticular activating system (RAS). It tells our brain to pay attention. Writing also helps us simplify the vision, so that others can help us execute the vision. Our vision is never just for our own personal benefit. It should be beneficial to others. Do you have a million dollar idea? Do you have a business you are waiting to start? Now is the time. 

Habakkuk 2:2(KJV) And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Focus

After you have eliminated the distractions in your life, you will need to focus. Focusing on a single goal increases the likelihood of you accomplishing it. There are a host of books that support this mode of thinking. The One Thing by Gary Keller discusses the benefits of prioritizing a single task versus multitasking. It illustrates how to focus on one small goal, and set realistic benchmarks in order to achieve extraordinary results. Our lives would probably be a lot simpler, if we focused on one thing. Try to simplify your current goal. Create daily benchmarks with that one goal in mind. Focus.
