Why Am I Not Making It in Life? I Am Confused!

Controlled Attention



A world so full of division can never be a home, so is a man with unbridled attention; he never gets to achieve anything in life and never gets any where as well.



Blubo, a blue-eyed, blonde, hairy dog had to learn its lesson the hard way.



One afternoon, Blubo went into the woods behind the house in search of food, for itself and the family. Fortunately, it bumped into heap of fresh bones, which could feed the family for weeks. Filled with joy mixed with surprise, Blubo quickly thought of informing the family to share in the joy. Just as it was about to embark on its decision, a shaggy-brown dog with long legs came to the scene. It was like, ‘”WOW!” Thank God!’ said ‘Hi’ to Blubo and then picked to of the bones.

Blubo, on seeing this, became so angry, barked and started chasing it. Blubo kept chasing till it couldn’t find traces of the shaggy-brown dog. After the chase proved futile, Blubo become very tired and hungry, with no option than to get back home. Unfortunately, Blubo could not find its way home. It wandered without food or water for seven days in the thick woods and grew very weak.

By divine intervention, a hunter came to the rescue. Took very good care of it and brought it safely home to its worried family. Blubo was grateful to the hunter and much happier to see the family safe.

It shared its experience in the wilderness, and had this advice to give: “It pays to be focused”


Remaining focused means: Following One Course Until Success. A man with focus, they say, never flops.



Like Blubo, many of us do not have or maintain FOCUS. We entertain unnecessary things to preoccupy us so much so that we never get significant things done; hence we end up achieving nothing.



Success can never be achieved through a divided attention. A person whose attention is not under control never lives a land mark in any field of endeavor; he becomes jack of all trades but master of none.



Things that distract attention:



- Greed: Grab all, lose all.



- Unforgiving: The one who hates gets hurt the most.



- Doubt: Ambivalence precedes indecisiveness.


- Lack of foresight: Lack of vision, makes people perish.






Try your best to avoid the sidetracks to your focus in life. Always make sure you get one thing done before starting the next and success shall be your closest companion.
