To be our best when we are working we need to make use of
the power of mental concentration. An intentional use of attention to anything
we are doing will help us achieve success.
When the whole of the attention is given to a work in hand,
we will be able to achieve success easily. Today we do not give our whole
attention to a single work and due to this, we see mediocre results.
When we are able to make full use of the power of concentration
we can eliminate distraction, diversion, remission and numerous other aspects
that are hostile to progress.
To achieve concentration we need to do things that we like
most. Haven’t we noticed that whatever we have a strong liking for, we learn with
ease. We excel in it. We forget about our surroundings and we have complete
focus on it. When work is pleasure, the entire focus of the mind and intellect
is gained. This is the reason why we should find a job where our heart lies.
When we are in a job of not of our liking or interest then
concentration is achieved through pain. This is the case with a majority of us
today. We work for money. We have no interest in the work. In such a scenario,
distractions and procrastination are common. But we have to overcome them as we
have already got into a situation. Instead of struggling, we need to learn to
sail with the current. If we can develop enough courage, then we need to get
out of the waters and search for a shore that we like. But we need to develop the
concentration in both scenarios. There is no compromise in this matter. We need
to learn to concentrate consciously.
To achieve success in
career or in some passion of ours, we must be able to concentrate our entire
mind. An idea to be successful we have to give our full power of concentration.
Do not be discouraged, if you are unable to concentrate on
the subject for a very long time. Very few people can achieve this on the very
first go. We need to practice and slowly build up the levels of concentration.
We need to cut down the levels of distraction slowly and steadily.
The first thing to do is to stop bothering about results.
Next is to shut out all the destructive and negative thoughts. Fill your mind
with beneficial and constructive thoughts. Even if you are forced to
concentrate on something you do not like, think about all the benefits that you
are going to get from it. This will be a motivating factor to concentrate.
Always keep a watch over the mind, be alert enough to when
unwanted thoughts enter into the mind. We need to learn to stop the mind from
entering into such things. We need to drag the mind back into our work.
The magical power of concentration can accomplish the
impossible. We just need to be awakened to our immense potential.
