Focus Lost.
I knew the importance of not losing focus before I moved to Atlanta.
I even thought that I had the ability to pin point the people that I would have loved to come with me however "I felt " that they didn’t have the amount of focus needed to stay on course in a city where men are out numbered 12:1 (the amount of women in this city is unreal, and they come in all shapes and sizes ).
I must admit that I did lose focus.
I didn’t lose focus to the things that I felt other people would lose focus to (women ) however I lost focus on maintaining a happy life.
The majority of my problems stem from a lack of a solid partnership (different story) however I knew before moving out here that challenges were something that I would run into AND embrace with open arms in order to achieve some of the goals that I’ve set for my family and I.
I hate to lose, especially when I beat myself however there are valuable lessons to be learned from a loss.
One of the main reasons why I’m not beating myself up anymore is because I’ve already learned some of the lessons from my most current failure .
WOW……
Sorry to hear about the temporary sidetrack. I’m not convinced that you have lost focus; rather that your focus has shifted. Remember the two circles; The circle of influence and the circle of concern. It’s ok to meddle temporary in the circle of concern but it’s not ok to reside or spend a great deal of time there because when you do, focus is shifted to another area other than your plan and goals. There is nothing you can do to change things that fall into the circle of concern so don’t spend too much time there. It zaps your positive energy and pushes you off track. You will be fine as long as you can recognize when the urge to focus on “concerns” is present.
