If you wish to
achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a
worthwhile person in your own self-development.
Quality of focus for an extended period of time is very
important for career growth. Interruptions are inevitable and we should notice
interruptions and bring back the mind to the activity on hand.
It is easily said than done. However, we can train the
mind to focus on a point. In order to understand why our mind wanders, we have
to understand certain basic facts about the nature of the mind:
- We have to exert and take
effort to keep the mind in one place.
- We have to train our mind to
think of one object, and when it wanders away from it, to bring it back to
it once again
- When this is done on a
regular basis, will make the mind focused on one point.
There are three types of mind: the disturbed, the
distracted and the focused. In a disturbed mind thoughts come and go without
any control. A distracted mind wanders
every now and then from a point of focus. A focused mind is one which is
pointed on one thing for an extended period of time.
We should know how to navigate from a disturbed
mind to a focused mind. We will know more about it in the next piece.
