Amidst TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, the porn and the OnlyFans, the AI invasion, the video games, online shopping, online gambling, the endless TV shows, movies, shorts, reels, and podcasts, the so-called “top stories” on the News with their clickbait headlines.
For the first time in human history, it’s all instantaneously and continuously available in the little box you carry in your pocket all day.
Then there are all the potential distractions beyond your phone: the endless varieties of drugs (legal and illegal, “plant-based” and synthetic). Vapes and patches, tablets and capsules, drinks and pills. Things to eat, inject, snort, smoke, or drink.
The cheap “fast food” on every corner, sugar-highs and “energy drinks,” the get-rich-quick scams, the endless gossip and tabloids, the bars, the clubs, the new hair color, the latest trends, the new tattoo.
In today’s environment, I can say with absolute certainty:
The most important ninja-level, Jedi skill today is the ability to maintain elite focus.
In working with my men’s mastermind group, my private clients, as well as the couples I coach, one thing is absolutely consistent:
Sustained focus is the number one predictor of success in any area of life: work or business, relationship, marriage, family, parenting, spiritual practice.
Elite focus is the new superpower.
It all comes down to this:
1. You must cultivate a very clear, inspired, long-term vision for your life.
You must know exactly where you want to go.
This is the first thing I support people with.
2. You must maintain focus amidst temptations, superficial distractions, and the countervailing noise.
This is the second thing I support people with.
Allowing any of the thousands of distractions to creep in leads to failure.
It creates the feeling that you’re never going to get there — because as long as you keep getting distracted, you most certainly won’t.
If that’s you, then it’s going to require a higher level of sustained focus to manifest your dreams than you’ve been exhibiting.
More sustained focus = more success.
The most successful people in the world have a support team assisting them in focusing their attention — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — over a long-term basis to engrain the new patterns.
Please reach out if you’re done with the quick-fix schemes and would like more sustained support (3 month minimum) in living the life God is truly calling you to. I’d love to chat with you.
