If it takes focus and dedication to be successful then are you born with these qualaties?

Question

I cannot keep foucused on any one project. My mind strays onto other things and then i lose the chance to make a success of anything. How do you maintain a focus in your life? How do you keep negative influences and situations from destroying your focus? How do you maintain belief in what you are focused on? I believe to be able to maintain a path towards a goal is what brings happiness in life, so how do you some people seem able to do that without being distracted from it?

Answer 1

You can choose to have whatever qualities you want. However some people are very linear thinkers and can do only think a a time. Some people can multitask and their brains work better that way. If you are having trouble focusing you should try some yoga and/or meditation. I think it would really help you. Also, try to work in an environment without distractions.

Answer 2

Well, most people are born with the capability to focus but environmental genetics play a large part in the development of that ability. Whether you learn it from your parents or not though you have the option of praticing focusing. Meditation(and I don't mean religiously here) is the best way I have found to improve focusing ability.
the difficulties you are describing sound more along the lines of co-dependency to me though. And that can really mess with your ability to focus and persevere in a given task. even one as simple as meditating

Answer 3

No one is born that way.One has to discipline our life thru tough situations that we face every day.What I di is take the problem in my mind and keep looking at it from all sides....see if i can do anything about it,then what should i do if at all and how do i go about it.Simple!!!! I guess i've been in such situations so many times that i 've perfected it well!!!! This is known as POA(plan of action)))
