Focus Aright

Too often we focus on what we did wrong instead of what we needed to do to become better. Knowing yourself and understanding what drives your attitude and emotions is the first step to self-knowledge and self-control. Self-awareness is very important to being in control of your attitude and emotions.

When you practice self-awareness, you give yourself far greater control of your actions. It thus gives you options. You can decide not to react to negative emotions. Instead you can develop a positive attitude that allows you to let go of the emotion. However, you can channel the energy of the negative emotion into a positive action.

What lies inside of you determines the attitude you present to world. The level of your talent isn't nearly as important as the intensity of your passion. It's up to you to set goals and direct your passion at a purpose. Yogi Berra says, "if you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else". Why would you go to school for study, play on a sports team, be in a relationship or even live life without some sense of purpose, direction or goal?

Going goalless is like trying to drive to an unfamiliar address in a new town without a road map or directions. You might eventually get where you'll going, but there are chances that you would pull over in frustration or settle for a suitable substitute. Set priorities if you want to avoid been bounced around. Goals are the means for doing what you do. Focus on what you need to do, not what you did wrong.
