When you focus on your purpose, no matter what challenges or changes you may encounter along the way, you are not swayed from your path. On the other hand, if you are unsure or do not have faith in your purpose, the insecurity and resulting instability can deter, limit or block you from achieving your full potential.

im not so sure i would agree with everyone else when you tranquilise something you are completely knocking it out, therefore it would be not be thinking of anything else. So I would tend to suggest that this means by focusing your mind on the one purpose its like it putting your other thoughts to rest-you wont even think of them-But hey thats just my interpretation of it :)

It means:
If you give your mind a goal or a set destination to follow, you will be much calmer than when you let it wander haphazardly with no real final aim.

Basically, you can be at peace of mind as long as you know what your goal is.

As long as you stay focused on one thing, you won't be distracted by other things.
